Oklahoma vs Missouri Prediction

The current betting odds have Oklahoma listed as a 3 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. Oklahoma has looked good in their games this season with their 5-4 record overall, but they have looked terrible in their first SEC season with their 1-4 conference record. They have done nothing but struggle in the SEC this year and their defense has looked good in a lot of their games, but their offense has been terrible. They did look a lot better in their last one though, putting up 59 points on a team from the FCS, but that win will give them some momentum coming into this one against a banged up Missouri team. Meanwhile, Missouri has looked really good in their games this season with their 6-2 record overall, but their 2-2 conference record has them lower in the SEC. They are also 5-0 in their home games this year, but they are coming off a loss to Alabama in their last one which they didn't put up a single point in and they also lost their starting QB in that game. Drew Pyne hasn't looked as good in the offense this season and he is going to struggle against this Oklahoma defense that really hasn't been bad. Missouri does have a good defense too, but Oklahoma will be able to build off that performance last week and their offense will look better here with some momentum behind them from that win. The best way to place a bet here is on Oklahoma to cover the spread in this game.

Notable Quotes


“At the end of the day, we got what we wanted accomplished. We got a lot of young guys some experience. Saw some improvement with guys up front just playing through the whistle, competing, playing with confidence.” - Brent Venables after his team’s win against Maine in their last game. 


“Offensively, just with Brady’s injury, we just couldn’t ever get in rhythm. And obviously the turnovers really put us behind the eight ball, and just put the defense in too many bad spots today.” - Eli Drinkwitz after his team’s loss against Alabama in their last game.
