Missouri Tigers (6-5, 3-4) at Arkansas Razorbacks (4-7, 1-6)

Friday, Nov. 24 at 2:30 p.m. E.T.; Razorback Stadium; Fayetteville, Ark.

TV: CBS; Line: Missouri -9.5; Over/Under: 70

The new Battle Line Rivalry has had two epic games the past three times these teams have met. And it probably has a great future.

However, this specific game features two teams in completely different places. The Missouri Tigers are excited about being bowl eligible and a program on the rise in Barry Odom’s second year as head coach. On a five-game winning streak, they’d love to cap off the season with a huge win here.

Meanwhile, the Arkansas Razorbacks are a program falling apart, similar to Tennessee football, as they are likely to fire Bret Bielema after this game. They played the Mississippi State Bulldogs close last week, but that had more to do with a bunch of fluke plays. Can they create those plays again? That could help them pull off the upset.

What will happen?

Mizzou got on this roll against very easy teams. However, now, they have developed a level of confidence that will allow them to beat anybody.

Meanwhile, Arkansas is ready to quit on the season. As a result, Drew Lock and the Tigers will throw all over the Hogs. They’ll cover the nine and a half point spread with ease.

Take Missouri to cover, but take the under. Although this game could be high scoring, 70 just seems a bit high for this match-up.

Missouri: 45 Arkansas: 21
