The class difference here should result in Missouri winning by double-digits.The Tigers drop down from SEC opponents needing a victory to keep alive their bowl hopes. The Blue Raiders haven't knocked off an SEC foe in 11 years. That's because SEC teams are stronger, quicker and more athletic.

Middle Tennessee State went against Vanderbilt earlier this season and lost 47-24. That's a telling sign because the Commodores are mediocre.

Missouri's defense should play much better against this foes and its balanced offense will put up points against a Middle Tennessee State defense that has allowed nearly 1,200 yards and six touchdowns through the air during the last three games. The Blue Raiders could have fatigue issues, too, coming off a double-overtime loss to Western Kentucky.
