Missouri vs Texas Prediction

You can argue Texas is a better team, but Missouri at home is tough to bet against, where it’s 13-1 SU on the season. Texas has had issues on the road, and there have been games where it’s struggled on the defensive side. Yes, Texas has covered 7 of its last 9 games, and I do believe the Longhorns are the more talented team overall. Still, it’s a near pick-’em spot, and if forced to pick, I’m usually going to lean toward the home team. Give me Missouri in this SEC showdown.
