Missouri at Alabama

No. 21 Missouri has taken a step up while Alabama has taken a step back. Missouri senior QB Brady Cook (7 TDs, one INT) leads an offense that averages 411.3 yards while the defense is 12th in the country in points given up (18.2 per game). Missouri is on a 13-5 spread run, including 6-1 ATS on the road. Alabama has split its last four games decided by 7, 5, 2, and 7 points. They lost to Vanderbilt, 40-35, and come off a 24-17 loss to Tennessee turning it over twice while getting just 314 total yards, including 75 rushing yards (2.2 ypc). The defense allowed the Vols to run for 214 yards. Alabama has failed to cover six of its last 10 and the Tigers have more than enough to make this a close one. Play Missouri.
