Why Missouri can cover
The Tigers are coming off back-to-back home wins over Florida and Tennessee and running back Cody Schrader has been the driving force behind their offensive success of late. The Missouri native and transfer from Division II Truman State piled up 321 yards from scrimmage and scored a touchdown in a 36-7 rout of the Volunteers and then rushed for 148 yards and another score in last week's 33-31 win over Florida.
Schrader has now rushed for at least 100 yards in four consecutive games and he's also on an eight-game streak where he's scored a rushing touchdown. The defense has also generated five turnovers in the last two weeks while the Tigers have only turned the ball over once during that span. See picks at SportsLine.
Why Arkansas can cover
The Razorbacks will lean heavily on third-year starting quarterback KJ Jefferson, who has accounted for 88 total touchdowns in five seasons with Arkansas. Jefferson threw for 187 yards and three touchdowns while rushing for 90 yards in a win over Florida International last week and he also accounted for 347 yards of total offense and three touchdowns two weeks ago in an overtime win against Florida.
In three starts against Missouri, Jefferson has thrown for 736 yards and six touchdowns with only one interception while rushing for 128 yards and two scores. Now he'll take on a Missouri defense that allowed 500 yards of total offense to Florida last week and that fellow dual-threat quarterback Jayden Daniels torched for 389 total yards and four total touchdowns earlier this season.
