Kansas State at Missouri

The Tigers, a team with national Championship aspirations, lost in consecutive weeks to Oklahoma State and Texas. That was a tough and disappointing strech for them. But, there is often a silver lining. We learned about the character of this team after their second straight loss that killed any hopes of a National title. The next game could have easily been one to sulk and sob their way through, going through the motions. But instead they showed what they are made of thrashing Colorado 58-0 at home. Kansas Statehas gone the other way. After getting blown out by Texas Tech, they lost on the road to a weak Colorado team, got blown out at home by Oklahoma, and went through the motions at Kansas. The Jayhawks took the will right out of this team with a couple early scores, going on to beat them by 31. I look for Missouri to do the same here: score early and take the will out of this team, because they have quit. The three best teams they have played have all layed 50+ on them, and Missouri is certainly a candidate to do the same. The Tigers have covered the spread in eleven of their last twelve home games vs. bad defensive teams (those allowing 31+ ppg). I'll lay the big number here, in what should be a major blowout.
