Mizzou vs. Ohio State preview

Why this specific boosted bet from us here at Saturday Down South? Well, the Tigers have made a habit of scoring early and often this year. While finishing the regular season with a 10-2 overall record, Mizzou scored first in 9 of 12 games.

The Tigers also never trailed at halftime this year. Once, they were tied at the intermission. Every other time, they led after 2 quarters. And obviously, Mizzou moneyline bets went 10-2 this season.

Ohio State is currently a 5.5-point favorite over Mizzou, but this line has swung dramatically. It opened at Ohio State -6.5, but then slowly crept to Mizzou -2.5. Now it’s back in favor of the Buckeyes as it seems more and more Ohio State players are choosing to play.

The status of Marvin Harrison Jr., Ohio State’s star wide receiver and likely top-10 draft pick, is still up in the air, but he hasn’t officially opted out. His fellow star receiver, Emeka Egbuka, will be in action. Yes, the Buckeyes will be without QB Kyle McCord, but Devin Brown will take over. He knows the offense.

On Mizzou’s side, as mentioned above, all 4 top offensive players are in action. The offensive line should be healthy and intact. Thus, we should expect plenty of offensive fireworks from both teams.

Historically, there’s not a lot of data to pull from the all-time matchup between the Buckeyes and Tigers. Ohio State holds a 10-1-1 lead in the series, but the 2 schools have only played 3 times since 1950. The Tigers won in 1976 and the Buckeyes won a home-and-home series in 1997 and 1998.

Can the Tigers win the first matchup of the 2000s? If they do, users can get a great odds boost over at bet365! Remember to click this link and you can get an odds boost from +450 to +550 if Mizzou scores first, leads at halftime and wins the game.
