The current betting odds have Texas A&M listed as a 1.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. Texas A&M has looked really good in their games this season with their 4-1 record overall and their 2-0 conference record. They lost their first real test of the season at home earlier this year, losing a tight game against Notre Dame, but they have looked a lot better since then. They have won 4 games in a row since that loss and they have 2 conference wins under their belt now, beating Florida in a blowout on the road and beating Arkansas at a neutral site last week. They are going to have some momentum coming into this one and their offense has looked a lot better since making a change at QB too. Meanwhile, Missouri has looked really good in their games this season with their 4-0 record overall and their 1-0 conference record. They are coming out of their bye week after winning their conference opener 2 weeks ago, but they also barely won that game at home against Vanderbilt, even needing OT to get the win. They also struggled against Boston College the week before and now they are going to get their first real test of the season with this being their first true road game. Texas A&M has been getting better in each game under Elko and that loss at the start of the season has taught them some important lessons which has helped them on their win streak. The best way to place a bet here is on Texas A&M to cover the spread in this game.

“I mean, that's the unfortunate thing right now. We're just not able, in the red zone, to finish drives. And we’ve got take a really hard look at that on what we're not able to do in the red zone and why we're not able to get touchdowns in there. You know, the three field goal (misses)? At the end of the day, we’ve got to be scoring touchdowns.” - Eli Drinkwitz after his team’s win against Vandy in their last game. 

“Arkansas, Texas A&M in AT&T Stadium, how else would you expect it to go? All the way down to the stretch, and you needed to make plays in the fourth quarter to win it.” - Mike Elko after his team’s win against Arkansas in their last game.
