Missouri vs Texas A&M Prediction
Texas A&M has proven itself up to this point and is the worthy favorite. However, this will also be Texas A&M’s third straight road game, and that could take its toll. Missouri has an elite defense that should challenge Texas A&M’s offense, and the Tigers have been their best at home. Remember, Missouri’s only hiccup at home this season was a three point loss to Alabama. Some of the wind has come out of the sails for Missouri, but this is still a balanced team capable of beating anybody in the country when staying true to form. A touchdown is a bit rich. I’ll grab the points with Missouri.
