Missouri Tigers vs LSU Tigers prediction

No matter what you think of the LSU Tigers, backing the Missouri Tigers in any shape or form isn’t an option. The Missouri Tigers have not only lost every game over the last two months, but they’re 8-22 ATS on the season. Missouri packs zero betting value, and you’re sitting on a mountain of cash if you just blindly fade the Tigers. Missouri has failed to cover 7 of its last 10 games. There’s really nothing left to say. Keep fading Missouri and watch the money pile up. Give me LSU in a comfortable home victory. There’s nothing left to see here.
