Chris’ Pick
I’m rolling with the over here. I lean towards Missouri, but this is a massive number and it’s one that Missouri has yet to cover or win by this season. South Carolina State on the other hand, their issue has been getting run up in the step up games. Giving up 90 to Tulsa, 96 in a 44-point loss to USF, and 89 to Samford, and all of those games like this one, are/were on the road. I just don’t see the Bulldogs changing their tune overnight so give me the over.
