Missouri comes into this contest with an 0-2 record after dropping their game to the Tennessee Volunteers last week 35-12. The Tigers offense averages 235.5 passing yards a game and is led by Connor Bazelak with 286 passing yards, zero touchdowns, and one interception. The rushing attack puts up 97.5 yards a game and is led by Larry Rountree III with 151 yards and one touchdown. Jalen Knox and Damon Hazelton have combined for 18 catches and 200 receiving yards. On the defensive side of the ball, they are giving up 36.5 points and 418 yards a game.

LSU bounced back from their opening loss and put a beating on Vanderbilt 41-7. The offense is putting up 341 passing yards a game and is led by quarterback Myles Brennan, who has passed for 682 yards with seven touchdowns and three interceptions. and has been sacked seven times this season. The rushing attack puts up 120.5 rushing yards a game and is led by John Emery Jr with 130 yards on 19 carries with one touchdown. Tyrion Davis-Price has added 72 yards on 19 carries. Wide receiver Terrace Marshall Jr has made ten catches for 189 yards with four touchdowns. On the defensive side of the ball, they are giving up 25.5 points and 449 yards of offense a game.

This game was moved from LSU to Missouri because of an oncoming hurricane and the line dropped. I am not convinced the move will make that big of a difference. The LSU offense looked a lot better against Vanderbilt. The Missouri defense is soft against the run and pass and I look for both Rountree III and Brennan both to have big games. I would have laid the 20 at home so laying a lot less with the better team and no real home-field advantage is a steal.

Play on LSU.
