Missouri snapped a two-game losing streak with a 48-35 victory over North Texas. The Tigers are 3-3 following Saturday's victory. Quarterback Connor Bazelak passed for 160 yards and two touchdowns, while running back Tyler Badie rushed for 217 yards and two touchdowns. Receiver JJ Hester had 41 yards and one touchdown.

Cornerbacks Jaylon Carlies and Kris Abrams-Draine are the leaders in interceptions with two each.

Missouri gives up plenty of points and the OVER is a solid choice here but the play is Texas A&M. The Aggies could suffer from a slight letdown after beating Alabama but Texas A&M has covered the number in six of its last nine, while Missouri has failed to cover the nut in each of its last nine. The Texas A&M defense is holding opponents to an average of only 16.8 points per game, while the Missouri defense allows an average of 37.5 points per game. Final Score Prediction, Texas A&M Aggies win and cover ATS 44-17.
