The current betting odds have Missouri listed as a 10 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. Missouri has looked good in their games this season with their 5-2 record overall and their 2-2 conference record which has them right in the middle of the SEC. They haven't been a great road team though with their 1-2 road record this year. Meanwhile, Arkansas hasn't looked good in their games this season with their 3-4 record overall and their 1-3 conference record which has them right near the bottom of the SEC. They haven't looked great on their home field either with their 2-2 home record this season. Arkansas won their last game on the road over Vanderbilt 31-21 and now they are coming out of their bye week, but they did beat up on what might be the worst team in the SEC this year. Arkansas has still had a lot of trouble in their games this season and it has been a really rocky start for Silverfield in his 1st year coaching. They are coming out of their bye week with an extra week of rest, but Missouri is also coming out of their bye week here. Missouri also lost their last game in embarrassing fashion, losing on the road to Ole Miss 31-3 in a game that they weren't even competitive in, so they have 2 weeks to think about that loss now. They have picked up some pretty good wins in the conference this season and Simmons has looked really good in this offense. Their defense hasn't been that bad either and they are going to bring their best effort here out of the bye week to bounce back. Arkansas may be coming off a win here, but it was against the worst team in the SEC and Arkansas is still one of the worst teams in the conference themselves. The best way to place a bet here is on Missouri to cover the spread in this game.
