Missouri vs Oklahoma Prediction
The Oklahoma Sooners have the scoring ability to make this game competitive, but they continue to struggle defensively, and it’s played into losses in seven of their last 10 games. Oklahoma has won just one of their five road games. The Missouri Tigers are coming off a bad loss to Texas A&M, but they’re 15-1 SU at home, and they’ve covered eight of their last 10 games overall. While Oklahoma and Missouri have similar records, it’s the Tigers that are starting to separate themselves. Missouri is also ridiculous at home. I’ll lay the points with the Tigers.
