Missouri Tigers

Missouri won Saturday night's game against Memphis 34-27 in the “Mizzou to the Lou Classic” at The Dome in America's Center in St. Louis. Brady Cook's 18-of-25 passing for 341 yards and two touchdowns without an interception, and running back Cody Schrader's 123 yards on 14 carries including a 37-yard touchdown run were instrumental in the Tigers' win. On defense, Missouri allowed 399 yards and forced two turnovers – both interceptions. The Tigers have a power ranking of 65, ranked 70 in offense (29.33 points per game) and #44 in defense (18.67 points against per game). Missouri is 4-0 (2-2 ATS) this season and are 26th in the country for turnover differential. There are a number of players that are questionable due to undisclosed injuries.

Vanderbilt Commodores Analysis

• Vanderbilt struggled in their recent game against Kentucky, with a final score of 20-21. • Vanderbilt's offense ranks #24 in passing yards but #117 in rushing yards. • The Commodores defense ranks #87 in total yardage, #83 in rushing yards, and #90 in passing yards. • Vanderbilt has struggled with turnovers, ranking #103 in turnover differential. • Vanderbilt is ranked #51 in penalties per game. • Injury Report: S S.Riley (undisclosed), LB L.Patterson (hamstring), QB A.Swann (elbow) are questionable, and TE J.Palmer (back) is out.

Vanderbilt Poised to Challenge Missouri's Undefeated Record Despite Defense Shortcomings

Missouri holds an impressive 4-0 record; however, their defense showed considerable vulnerability to passing. Statistics show the Tigers ranked 104th in pass defense to Vandy's 24th. QB Swann is projected to take the field in Saturday's game, per Lea's press conference. Despite last year's 3-point loss against Missouri, Vanderbilt is familiar with the Tigers' offensive attack, leaving room for a higher-scoring game that will be closer than expected. Betting odds favor Missouri, but taking Vanderbilt with the points is a position I'd advocate for.
