Preview:<\/strong><\/p>\n Kansas has been one of the most disappointing teams this season. I, like a lot of people had them penciled in for at least an eight-win year. <\/p>\n CLICK HERE FOR THE BEST CFB WEEK 13 GAMBLING PICKS FROM OUR TOP CAPPERS! \u2014><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n This year started off well \u2013 the Jayhawks were sitting 5-0 \u2013 but after six consecutive losses and accusations of abuse from coach Mark Mangino, the team is reeling and now needs a win just to become bowl eligible.<\/p>\n On the other hand, Missouri has been one of the more pleasant surprises this year after losing a lot to the pros this offseason. They have had some bad losses and are still looking for a big win, and there is nothing bigger to a team than rivalry wins.<\/p>\n Both defenses are very average and will give up a lot through the air. Kansas and Missouri are both ranked in the top 20 in passing and in the 90\u2019s in rushing. Basically, there will be a couple token runs in the first quarter and then things will go aerial. Both teams also rank around 55th in pass efficiency defense, so this game will come down to which QB plays better. Mizzou pivot Blaine Gabbert is one of the most promising young QB\u2019s in the nation. He has made the position a strength for the Tigers after the departure of Chase Daniel. His numbers are fantastic for a young QB (2,999 yards, 22 TD, 7 INT), and he is only getting better. He also has one of the best targets in the nation in the country to throw to in Danario Alexander; he has over 100 yards receiving in all but three games this season and has amassed almost 1,500 yards and 12 TD\u2019s.<\/p>\n The edge in the QB battle seems to go to Gabbert, but Reesing is the veteran and the Jayhawks need this game to get bowl eligible. Gabbert may be a sophomore but he\u2019s mature beyond his years and should lead the Tigers to a one-touchdown win.<\/p>\n 2009 Team Stats<\/strong><\/p>\n Total Offense: Missouri: 45th Total Defense: Missouri: 43rd Spread\/Trends<\/strong><\/p>\n Trends:<\/strong><\/p>\n Clemson is 5-0 SU in its last 5 games

\n After being touted as a possible Heisman contender in the preseason, Todd Reesing has struggled compared to 2008. After having a great 3:1 TD-INT ratio last year, he has fallen to 2:1 this year. This cannot be blamed on the receiving corps because veterans Kerry Meier and Dezmon Briscoe will both be 1,000-yard receivers this season.<\/p>\n
