This is a massive number to lay with the Tigers, but the problem is that Southeast Missouri State hasn’t really played anyone all that tough this season, but yet they’ve still dropped games in spots and they’re up against their toughest opponent in Missouri, who have had no problems dispatching the lesser teams on their schedule in emphatic fashion all season long to this point. I’ll take the Missouri Tigers in a beatdown.
