Texas vs. Missouri prediction, odds, best bet: Back the Tigers in this SEC clash

Texas and Missouri enter their SEC clash with matching 6-2 overall and 3-2 conference records, but the article backs Missouri to win at home. It argues that Texas’s inconsistent offence makes the Longhorns a risky favourite, particularly with their College Football Playoff hopes vulnerable to another loss.

Texas is ranked 10th and Missouri 18th, with Texas favoured by 2.5 points. Texas has beaten Ohio State and Ole Miss, yet averages 5.2 yards per play, ranking 84th in FBS; Missouri is described as having stronger overall offensive numbers and a stingy defence. The recommended bet is Missouri on the moneyline at +120.
