Yes, Missouri  has revenge for a 35-3 loss at home to Purdue last year. However, why are the Tigers 6-point favorites here? Last year they were laying just 7 at home and the West Gate Game of Year lines had this game at “Pick-Em” in the summer. Yes, Purdue has been a disappointment so far but a lot of that has been self-inflicted wounds with TO’s and dumb penalties (last week did have a 341-69 rush yard edge vs Eastern Michigan). Now the Boilers are a desperate 0-2 team at home in a prime time game. Meanwhile, Missouri hasn’t played anyone yet. Keep in mind, Missouri QB Drew Lock in his career has feasted upon FCS and Group of 5 teams. In 12 games, he’s completing 68% of his passes with a 40-4 TD-to-INT ratio (11.0 yards per attempt). Against Power 5 teams (27 games), it’s been a different story, completing just 51% of his passes with a 39-27 TD-to-INT ratio and only 6.8 YPA. Boiler Up!
