00:00They head to Amherst to take on UMass. They're a four-touchdown favorite. How

00:08does Missouri show its resolve? Yeah, I think with the defense, if you look the

00:12first two games of the season, they won, they covered via the shutout. This team

00:16is 4-1 to the under in their last two seasons combined against

00:20non-powered teams. They don't really usually hang huge numbers on these teams.

00:25You might say, oh come on, they scored 51 on Murray State. They were a 50 and a half

00:28point favorite. Like that was as much as you could have possibly expected out of

00:32that team. Like they hardly, I don't even know if they did creep over their team

00:36total by scoring 51 in a game. This was truly 10 points higher than I was

00:42expecting when I saw this total here. UMass, if they score 14, I think they

00:47should storm the field. I look for a dead under here in Mizzou-UMass. You might get

00:52the under. I could only look Missouri, and this is a get-right spot. Again, for

00:55that pitiful performance on the road, you put up 10 points. 7-3 came right in

01:00the final, you know, closing seconds of that matchup. I will say this, UMass

01:041-5 overall. The strength of the team is the secondary, giving up

01:08164 passing yards per game, holding opposing quarterbacks, 54% completion

01:14percentage, have forced interceptions in regards to the back end. That could be

01:18maybe allow them to keep it in it from a first half, but Missouri should win this

01:23game by 40 if they're dedicated and focused. The Tigers from Columbia, 0-3

01:28against the number, against power four foes so far this season. 2-0 against

01:32the spread, as Kev mentioned, against those non-power four teams, including the

01:36FBS opponent in Buffalo. They have blanked both of the teams in the Bulls

01:41and Murray State. I agree with you. I'm on the under today in Amherst.
