Key Storylines
Texas A&M enters this game unbeaten at 8‑0 overall and 5‑0 in SEC play. They have an average scoring margin of +14.4 points per conference game. That is the best in the SEC so far this season. Missouri is 6‑2 and their two losses were each by one possession against Alabama and Vanderbilt. Missouri QB Beau Pribula suffered a leg injury in the loss to Vanderbilt and will miss significant time, leaving a freshman to start in a high‑pressure environment.
Texas A&M has a clear pathway toward the SEC championship and a potential playoff berth. As long as they continue winning games, nobody can catch them in the race for Atlanta. This is a must-win game for Missouri to keep their hopes alive in the SEC chase. A&M beat Missouri 41‑10 in their last meeting and will be looking for a similar result here.
Quarterback Play
Sophomore QB Marcel Reed has done a solid job for A&M. He has thrown for 1,972 yards with 17 touchdowns and 6 interceptions so far this season. His connection with wide receiver Mario Craver (716 receiving yards on 40 catches) has yielded explosive plays on a regular basis this season.
Missouri’s offense is going to have to figure things out on the fly with Pribula out. Freshman QB Matt Zollers is expected to start his first career game. The Tigers will need to find a spark with their running game to alleviate the pressure on Zollers to keep this game competitive.
Betting Trends
- Texas A&M is 8‑0 straight‑up this season but just 4‑4 against the spread.
- Missouri is 4-3-1 against the spread this year.
- Six of Missouri’s eight games have gone over their totals so far.
- Missouri has gone over the total in five of their first eight games.

Final Thoughts
I would have loved to have seen this game with a healthy Beau Pribula on the field for Missouri. Instead, we are likely to have a less competitive game with a backup quarterback on the field for the Tigers. I’ll take Texas A&M to cover the spread as a favorite with that in mind, as Marcel Reed’s phenomenal season should continue for the Aggies.
