LSU over Missouri (+13), Saturday 6:30 PM (CT), Tiger Stadium

I came very close to picking Missouri to out right beat LSU. Missouri has already came close to pulling off one upset with a one point loss to Georgia in week 3 and have, for the most part, looked better than I expected. Missouri QB Drew Lock is second in the country in passing yards and leads an offense that is capable of putting up points against LSU.

As far as LSU, it’s impossible to predict how they will come out after a strange week in which they lost their long time head coach. Will they come out with renewed energy looking to make a statement or will it be much of the same? Ultimately, I think it will be a combination of both. LSU’s offense will likely not look much different after one week, but I do think interim coach Ed Orgeron will have the Tigers ready to play. If this game was being played in Missouri then that would be a different story. But as it is, I think LSU will find a way to win a close one. LSU 27, Missouri 24
