LSU Hosts Missouri in Clash of the Tigers

LSU coach Ed Orgeron and quarterback Myles Brennan all face an impossible task. In 2019 the Tigers enjoyed perfection at 15-0 with a national championship. Quarterback Joe Burrow took the Heisman Trophy as Orgeron won national coach of the year. Following such a dream season is difficult. LSU was shocked into reality after a season-opening NCAA Football betting loss to Mississippi State. Last week the Bayou Bengals roared back with a win and payout at Vanderbilt. Now the toothless Tigers of Missouri will come calling. Mizzou has begun a massive rebuild under new coach Eli Drinkwitz.

Missouri Tigers vs. LSU Tigers SBG Odds Overview

Fashion the deep hole that Mizzou’s program is in. Squares have taken full notice. As a result, the sports betting public wants nothing to do with the Tigers. LSU put a lot of bettors at ease last week with the blowout win. Although LSU lost nearly all key figures from last year’s championship team, they still have public respect. Especially compared to a Missouri team that has spent all of its credibility.

Missouri Tigers Team Overview

Missouri is 0-2 straight up, 1-1 against the spread, and 1-1 on totals. Last week the Tigers lost 35-12 at Tennessee as 10-point dogs. Under the total of 49 was a winner as well. Mizzou has national offensive rankings of 68th for scoring and 63rd for points allowed.

Eli Drinkwitz faces a tall order as the new coach. Mizzou has never been the same since the 2015 player strike. As recently as 2014 did MU make the SEC championship game. Contrarily the Tigers now struggles just for bowl eligibility. Former coach Barry Odom was left holding the bag of trash. Mizzou’s campus unrest depleted enrollment. Subsequently recruiting ability was decimated as well.

LSU Tigers Team Overview

LSU Tigers are 1-1 straight up and against the spread with 1-1 on totals. Overall, the Tigers rank 20th for scoring and 32nd for points allowed. Last week LSU scored a 41-7 win at Vanderbilt as 21-point road chalks. Over a total of 50 cashed in too. It was a nice recovery after a 44-34 home loss to Mississippi State. Most important of all the defense was significantly better after a terrible showing against Miss State.

At Vanderbilt quarterback, Myles Brennan was 23 of 37 for 337 yards with four touchdowns. Running back John Emery Jr ran for 103 yards on 12 carries with a touchdown. More emphatically the Bayou Bengals flashed the ability their recruiting classes have produced. Few teams have amassed more raw talent than LSU. Likewise, this helps maintain their reputation with the gambling public.

The fact that this game moved to Columbia shouldn’t matter. LSU is far and away from the deeper and more talented team. It is true that the Bayou Bengals carry a big NCAA Football Betting Price. It’s also true that Mizzou is utterly outclassed here.
