The current betting odds have Missouri listed as a 7 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. Missouri has looked really good this season with their 9-2 record overall and their 5-2 conference record. They don't really have anything left to play for this season since they can't make it to the SEC Championship but they will be motivated to keep winning and finish with the best possible record they can as a statement. Arkansas has looked terrible this season with their 4-7 record overall and they really struggled against SEC opponents this season with their 1-6 conference record. They do have the home advantage here but they are only 3-3 in their home games this season while Mizzou is 2-1 in the 3 road games they have played. Arkansas has not only had a terrible season but they also have nothing left to play for as they can't even become bowl eligible. This season is a write off for Arkansas while Missouri has been surging all year and will be motivated to see how well they can finish the season. The best way to place a bet here is on Missouri to cover the spread in this game.

“I thought it was really big, the takeaway in the red zone and then to score to go up nine. I really felt like that might have been the dagger that put them away. Defensively we were just not consistent tonight. We had them behind the chains, we let the quarterback scramble and they were able to get the fourth down. We were just really leaky in our run fits and we've got a lot of work to do this week to get that stuff fixed.” - Eli Drinkwitz after his team’s win against Florida in their last game. 

“Going into this week, I wanted to see what he could do in a live game. We needed a shot at running back. We needed somebody to make people miss, run over people, hit holes-- whatever it may be, with some urgency. We thought it might put some urgency into all of that group as well by seeing that he was going to get the opportunity to play.” - Sam Pittman after his team’s win against FIU in their last game.
