I feel like I am getting the ultimate combination of road dog/road warrior with the Missouri Tigers in this game. The Tigers come in on a 4 game winning streak, and they lead the SEC East and are looking to take it on in with the East championship. Further, the Tigers come in 12-2 ATS in their last 14 road games. The Tigers are 4-0 on the road this season and they are scoring an average of 36.5 points per game in those road contests. This Tiger team is getting it done with defense. During their current 4 game winning streak, the Tigers D is allowing 16 PPG and an average of 281 yards per game to their opponents. Missouri's offense does remain inconsistent, although this offense put together its most complete game of the season last Saturday, racking up 587 yards against the Aggie D. Meanwhile, Tennessee is getting better. Butch Davis has this team going in the right direction with two wins in a row. But they still have a ways to go. Over the Vols last 4 games, their D is surrendering 435 yards per game and 30 PPG (surrendering over 30 in 3 of those 4). The offense has definitely picked it up, scoring 95 points in its last two games. However, the Vols offense will be up against it Saturday, as Missouri's D has proven as stout as any in the SEC. I like what Butch Davis is doing with Tennessee, but they don't have the horses yet to play with Missouri. The SEC's road warriors go into Neyland Stadium on Saturday and get the win. Missouri 27 Tennesse 10.
