Missouri at Arkansas picks and predictions
Prediction
Missouri 27, Arkansas 13
Moneyline
PASS.
Arkansas finally got the monkey off its back, winning its first SEC game since 2024, but I don't expect them to make it 2 in a row. Missouri is a big step up in class from Vanderbilt, which is 0-5 in the SEC.
Against the spread
BET MISSOURI -10 (-112).
Luckily for Missouri, there's not another team from the Magnolia State on its schedule. Missouri is 0-2 vs. teams from Mississippi, 5-0 vs. everybody else.
In its 4 losses, Arkansas has lost by an average score of 37-13.
Over/Under
BET UNDER 48.5 (-115).
Arkansas has the worst scoring offense in the SEC (21 points per game), while Missouri is middle of the pack (31.1 PPG). Neither defense is exceptional, but Missouri should be able to limit Arkansas, keeping this Under the total.
Best Prop Bet
Bet Missouri WR DONOVAN OLUGBODE ANYTIME TD (+115).
Olugbode has caught a TD pass in 5 of Missouri's 6 games this season.
