#23 LSU vs #21 Missouri, Prediction & Best Bets: Tons of Tigers in Columbia

We've got some Tiger vs Tiger action as LSU travels to Columbia to take on Missouri.

The LSU Tigers are coming a shootout loss to Ole Miss on the road, following a tough one against Arkansas the week before. Brian Kelly will look to get his players back on track this week, however Missouri will not make it easy.

The Missouri Tigers are ranked 21st in the nation, and are 5-0, winning in dominant fashion at Vanderbilt to open SEC play. They've won all 3 games at Farout Field this year, including over Middle Tennessee State and Kansas State.

The Missouri Tigers will make it very tough on these LSU Tigers to avoid a second straight loss.

Tiger on Tiger Crime in Columbia

Both of these offenses can definitely score, however 65 seems a little too high. There's no doubt in my mind that both teams find the endzone plenty, but both of them in the 30s seems like a lot.

If I had to predict a score, I think LSU wins this one by a field goal, 31-28.

I really like the Missouri defense to keep them in this game, even if the game gets close to 60. Jayden Daniels should have some success, but ultimately will be watched heavily the whole game.

Mizzou should keep a spy on him at all times, limiting his ability to make plays with his legs, forcing him to use his arm and find his talented receivers… I think you know where this is going prop wise.

As far as Brady Cook and company go, I don't think they score a ridiculous amount, so I'm confident taking this under.

After allowing 88 points the past two weeks, Brian Kelly will definitely get his defense in check, and limit Missouri's points.

The Pick: LSU/Mizzou Under 65 (-105) Bovada

Player Props

Brian Thomas Jr. Over 83.5 Receiving Yards (-115) Bovada

Brian Thomas Jr. has cleared this line in 3 of 5 games this season, posting 124+ in all 3 of those contests. The other two games he had 78 and 60, however he's caught 5+ passes in every game this season for 33 total receptions.

Daniels finds him and Malik Nabers equally, and with Thomas' line being a little lower, I'll take him this game. Nabers' line on Bovada is 98.5, which I'm sure he clears again, but with my lean being under I can't bring myself to take both.

For the value, I'll take Thomas, even though both of them more than likely end up with 100+ yards again. Thomas is the deep threat and he has cashed this line in just 5 catches, totaling 133 yards in that game.
