I have made a lot of money in the past by betting the dog in traditional rivalry games. Esspecially home dogs. This game should be played at the end of the season like most others. It would even be better if they played it in Arrowhead.
Most people in the country won't be paying much attention to this game as both teams have been off the radar sceen for years, but this is a BIG game for both teams. The rivalry goes back 100 years, and started in the 1860s. Alabama/Auburn, Harvard/Yale, Ohio St/Michigan, at least these teams were on the same side in the Civil War. More importantly, KU cost MU a national championship (with illegal players) in 1960 and because of the basketball rivalry, they just don't like each other. Kansas City is really buzzing about this game and it should be a sell out in Larwrence. 50,000 fans thanks to 10 to 15 thousand Mizzou fans making the trip across the state line.
I believe that Missouri has the better team here. O line, Defense, and coach. I am impressed with how Mangino has brought the Hawks along and you have to respect the KU QB.
These might be two of the top five quarterback in the country.
I believe Missouri will try to run the ball as much as they can and keep the KU offense off the field. They just want to get a win and get out of town. If they don't turn the ball over and manage to put some pressure on Wittemore, they should succeed. But for the bettor, it should be a close game, with KU having a real chance to upset the Tigers.
I will probably lay a small one on the Tigers because I'll be pulling for a blowout, but I'm afraid the smart money has to be on KU +10.
This is a tough spot for Mizzou with Nebraska up next. They are young and as evidenced last week, have been reading their press clippings.
Just wanted to give you all some insight. Bet with care. MIZZOU
