00:00All right, so A&M Missouri in this great SEC matchup,

00:03and this is, boy, a contrast in teams for sure.

00:06Missouri's been fantastic on offense all season long.

00:09They're two and a half point dogs to Texas A&M,

00:12which has just been, you know, they've been,

00:14I would say, playing well enough

00:16to put themselves in position.

00:19This top 25 this year, Bill, more than ever,

00:21has just been shuttling this back end, 23, 24, and 25.

00:24It's like, you're in one week, you're out the next week.

00:26And Missouri is a dog on the road this week.

00:29They've been the better team,

00:30but are they a contender or a pretender?

00:33I guess we're gonna find out coming up this week.

00:36Right, popular upset pick.

00:37Nate Knoll is part of this Missouri offense

00:41that averages over 200 yards rushing per game.

00:43Whenever I see a team that can get over 200 yards rushing,

00:46I know it can travel a little bit.

00:48So if they have some success on the ground early,

00:50it will open things up for Brady Cook.

00:52It's a noon game, not a primetime game,

00:54so that takes some of the shine off of being at Kyle Field,

00:57even though it is a tough road environment.

01:00And Texas A&M, whichever quarterback they have,

01:03whether it's Reed or Wigman,

01:05Missouri's defense is limiting opposing offenses

01:08to 50% completion percentage.

01:11So all of that is my way to say,

01:13if you're a top 10 team, go out and prove it.

01:16I'm gonna take the Tigers here coming off a bye week.

01:18I think betters are punishing them a little bit

01:21for how bad they looked against Vanderbilt.

01:23I don't know if that's fair or not,

01:24but I like Missouri to get through the trend.
