00:00Now we focus on another big name wide receiver that when the

00:06awards markets opened up, he was the favorite to win the

00:09politnikov. That's Luther Burden last week for Missouri in their

00:13opener against FCS foe in Murray State. They win 51 zip they

00:17cover as a 50 and a half point favorite. We didn't see a lot of

00:20the offense Brady cook 228 yards a touchdown only one but into

00:24the arms of Luther Burden who finished with 49 receiving

00:28yards last year though Kev Luther Burden seven games with

00:30at least 96 receiving yards five with 110 plus take it on a

00:35Buffalo team today as a five touchdown favorite Buffalo last

00:40week beat Lafayette 30 to 13 as a three and a half point favorite

00:44they covered but only a three and a half point favorite

00:46against an FCS foe I think Missouri runs it up today.

00:49I'm struggling here. We don't have props. I wanted to see what

00:51they would do with burden here scored last week kind of you

00:54know that you knew they would get them at least one. But it's

00:56almost Missouri is going to be irrelevant on this show until

01:00October and I think that almost speaks to why they are in your

01:03CFP. It's Buffalo at home. It's Boston College at home. It's

01:07Vanderbilt at home. And then it's at A&M. And even then we'll

01:11see where A&M says it's now on ranked here, Joe. Missouri,

01:15where are you big picture on Mizzou?

01:17Again, I think they're a very good team a finesse team. But

01:20again, you know, they beat Ohio State in regards to the bowl

01:22matchup. You know, what do you get out of this defense now?

01:26That with Baker now calling the shots for LSU. That's what I

01:29want to see. They're not going to be really tested. To your

01:32point up to October 19 and 26. They play Auburn and Alabama in

01:37back to back weeks that that'll be a telltale sign outside the

01:40A&M game. I think in this matchup with Buffalo. Yeah, I'm

01:44inclined to take the points. I think Buffalo is a methodical

01:47offense. We know that they're going to score Missouri in the

01:50push tempo, but I am definitely taking Buffalo with the points

01:54in regards to this matchup. And I would lean under the 52 and a

01:57half in regards to the total.

01:58The Bulls not bad against the past last year. We know how

02:01wacky matchup can be. So it's not a conference where

02:04everybody's airing it out necessarily. Fourth best in the

02:07MAAC but only allowing 187 yards per game. Worst rushing defense

02:11in the MAAC last year, though for Buffalo, giving up more than

02:14180 could be a good opportunity, Leecey for the two new transfer

02:18running backs in Columbia, Marcus Carroll coming over from

02:21Georgia Tech and Nate Noel coming over from App State to

02:24have a big day on the ground.
