Monday's Music City Bowl - Iowa vs Missouri 2:30 ET Monday

[Tanko]

Line opened at Missouri -2.5 total 40 and both are still there.

Iowa has some key missing parts:
RB Kaleb Johnson --> Starting RB ~ 40% of their offense
QB Cade McNamara --> Starting QB ~25% of their offense.
CB Jermari Harris --> #1 CB on the team.

Key outs for Missouri
WR Luther Burden --> #2 wideout.
OL Armand Membou --> Best OL

Although Iowa's offense is better than prior years, it was average at best this year due to is passing game. (#21 running, #131 passing). With 65% of their offense opting out, it could be tough for them to score. Missouri defense is #40 vs rush and #26 vs pass so they are very respectable and should shut down anything Iowa may get going. Iowa's defense is also very good (#26 rush, #36 pass).

This could be a slugfest in the trenches with neither team scoring much. Missouri -2.5 and Under 40 look like viable options.

Maybe just Under but why bet this garbage?

Maybe just Under but why bet this garbage?

I think the Missouri -2.5 has some value.

QB Sullivan better than MAC
RB KJ huge OUT........ very good backups but not as punishing as KJ
CB Harris a big noteworthy OUT...................but rest of entire very good D intact.

Iowa starting two freshman WR'S

=====================

Really respect Missouri though, good resume.

===================

NO OPINION ON SIDE, Missouri single digit win seems most likely,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,the UNDER seems more appealing.

================================

Missouri 23-15

Frenzy has to go

Frenzy has to go

THIS!


Although the offense is better (w/ new O-Coordinator), they need to improve more. Ferentz is a hero in Iowa. Would take a lot more losing to punt him to the curb.

Great call, Tank.
