ESPN’s SP+ has made its prediction for the Arkansas vs. Missouri matchup on Friday.
Missouri is looking to secure its first 10-win season since 2014 and its first time doing it under Eli Drinkwitz. The Tigers have had a phenomenal season and are riding back-to-back wins over Tennessee and Florida into the game.
Arkansas is having quite the opposite season of Missouri. The Razorbacks are 4-7 on the year and out of reach of securing bowl eligibility. While Arkansas isn’t playing for much more on the season, it will be looking to end the season on a positive note as it looks to get back on track next season under Sam Pittman, who Arkansas has put its trust in for the 2024 season.
ESPN’s SP+ is a predictive measure that weighs the most predictable aspects of the game to formulate what the final score will be. Ahead of the game, SP+ made its predictions for the battle between Arkansas and Missouri, and it favors the Tigers.
SP+ gives Missouri a 69% chance to win, with a projected win margin of 8.5 points and a final score of 32-24.
