AAA's 10* Very Early NON-CONF TOTAL OF WEEK!
(NCAAF) Missouri vs. West Virginia, 09/03/2016 8:00 AM, Score: 11 - 26
Total: 49.50 | -105.00 Under
Result: Loss
This is a 10* total TOTAL OF THE WEEK on the OVER between Missouri and West Virginia.

Setting the scene: Missouri had a stout defense a year ago, but stumbled on the offensive side of things. Barry Odom was brought in as head coach and he'll be looking to the return of numerous skilled players from the offense to take the unit to the next level. WVU is coming off an 8-5 season, but coach Dana Holgorsen will be on the proverbial hot seat this year. These are two coach's with something to prove and we're expecting that competitiveness to translate into production on the field of play this afternoon.

Missouri: The team is led by QB Drew Lock, who is expected to take a major step forward after a sub-par 2015/16 campaign. Lock finished with just a 2-6 record while completing less than half of his passes, but his athletic skill is off the charts. With one year under his belt, we're expecting to see a major difference this time around. Also note that Alabama transfer Chris Black at WR is a huge weapon for Lock.

West Virginia: The team is led by senior QB Skyler Howard and a veteran offensive line which many feel could be not only one of the best in the conference, but in the entire nation itself. WVU is going to have to air it out today as the Tigers present a considerable challenge up front.

The bottom line: We think this will be a very competitive game, despite what the oddsmakers are leading us to believe. WVU will be pushing the pace from the outset and with Missouri forced to match, the savvy move in this one is absolutely on the OVER.
