I just dont know somethings not right on this game. You got Troy state with a Power ranking including Home field advantage at 75.26 and Missouri 70.78. Troy state has the better SOS. Something not right Troy State is tough at home. One of my sites has not updated it's Power Rankings yet. Im going to wait. I dont care if Missouri is ranked 17th in the Country. My predictor stuff says different.
Could be the Marshall let down, I dont know may pass just looking for other thoughts on this game.

Queen,
The numbers don't add up bit there are some interesting factors in this gaem. Troy State can't score, they are a horrible offensive team. Mizzou returned 8 starters on D, but they looked bad this past weekend,but they did only allow 88 yards rushing. Troy State can't throw the football, and they are horrible on special teams, they only averaged about 30 yards per punt this past weekend.
Brad Smith is a great offensive player and finally got a little help in the rushing game. I think the offensive tallent of Smith and teh Mizzou Offense simply generates enough points to beat Troy State. I can see this game ending up 28 to 10.

Baffeled by the line as well. No choice but to hit Missouri in this one and if you lose, oh well. This is why you flat bet. Missouri won is 2002 44-7. I just can't imagine that Troy can field a team that competes with Missouri but that line doesn't come from nowhere. :confused:

Actually i just found something intersting and will have to ammend all my previous thoughts. I still really don't want MIZZOU, but they are 5-1 ATS as favorites of 10-21 points and 10-2 vs the number vs. teams averaging 4.5 YPP or less. I really think this is the game of the year for TROYST, and MIZZOU just 2-13 L15 road games. I'm flat out staying away.
GL to everyone!

I see everything you guys are saying and I cannot come up with anything against it. It really worries me that Troy just beat Marshall and are only 10.5 pt dogs against a team like Missouri. This is when I just have to go with my first gut instinct. I like Missouri to win in this one by at least 2td's. GL, everyone!!!

Brad Smith will have a huge game on national television (ESPN 2) as he makes a bid for the Heisman. I think Mizzou's O-Line will be a huge factor as they try to help their QB make a run at the Heisman.
Also, (knock on wood), but I just don't see Mizzou losing this game. I believe they are too good of a team. Anyway, with this line, it is a definant Teaser possibility (3 team esp.)
