Those Bears are early vegas favorites over Mizzou!!!

[wobblyh]

This^^^^. The bookies must not have added enough water to their red and blue loo laid this week.

Mizzou -3 or more would still be a good bet. Mizzou plays an attacking style of defense. Since Wallace struggles to throw the ball 20 yards, he will be forced to check down with a heavy pass rush and mizzou will eat up those passes at the line of scrimmage. I still done understand why teams done defense OM wideouts right at the line and force Locks to loft them up deep. He has no zip on the ball. Ark should have picked off about 6, but theirs DB's didn't know which way was up saturday.

I think the problem lies in the number of good receivers. That is a great plan when you have a safety over the top. The problem is they run 3-wide pretty much every play and have a RB/TE coming out of the backfield. That increases the likelihood of getting beat when you press or jam the receivers. With 4-5 guys out in routes, the safeties can't help on all of them. The teams that have been effective against OM are teams that can drop 7 into coverage and get pressure with their front 4. Missouri has proven they can do this. I think they'll win for this very reason.
