Tennessee vs Missouri Prediction
The current betting odds have Missouri listed as a 1.5 point underdog in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. Missouri just lost their last game to Georgia but they have looked really good in their games all season. They are 7-2 overall and have been really good in their home games too with their 4-1 home record. Tennessee has also looked really good this season with their 7-2 record overall but they have been a lot better in their home games all year. They are 5-0 in their home games this season but when playing in road games like the one they are playing here, they are only 1-2 in road games this season. They have struggled a lot more in those games and even though Missouri just lost to Georgia, they looked really good in that game on the road only losing by 9 points. Missouri is the more complete team than Tennessee this year and Missouri also has the home advantage while Tennessee has been a bad road team all year. The best way to place a bet here is on Missouri to cover the spread in this game.
