Mizzou lost to Georgia (34-0) last week and the entire team looked terrible throughout the entire game.<\/p>\n
[dfads params=’groups=63738&limit=1&return_javascript=0′]<\/p>\n
Missouri\u2019s offense has struggled all season and last week\u2019s goose egg didn\u2019t help. The team is averaging 28.8 PPG (76th), 201.2 PYPG (98th) and 156.7 RYPG (77th), which isn\u2019t going to get it done.<\/p>\n
Maty Mauk has put up respectable numbers this season, but he has had accuracy problems, which were evident last week. He completed 9 of 21 passes for 97 passing yards, 0 TD\u2019s and 4 INT\u2019s.<\/p>\n
When Mauk is off his game this offense struggles to do anything. The offense isn\u2019t explosive and turnovers kill them. Mauk will need to play well, as the Gators defense can be beat through the air.<\/p>\n
[dfads params=’groups=66501&limit=1&return_javascript=0′]<\/p>\n
Florida is allowing 235.6 PYPG (65th) compared to 121.4 RYPG (32nd). Hansbrough and Murphy aren\u2019t going to find much running room on the Gators defense, so Mauk will be forced to air it out.<\/p>\n
The Gators offense has been a mess as well, especially at QB. Jeff Driskel has been playing poorly and the offense is only averaging 208.6 PYPG (91st), 176.4 RYPG (58th) and 31.8 PPG (56th).<\/p>\n
Driskel has done well running the football, but he is a terrible pocket passer. Matt Jones is having a fine season at RB. He has a 5.0 YPC, but they really should try to pound it more often with him.<\/p>\n
Mizzou usually has an imposing defense, but they\u2019re average at best this season. They allow 155.5 RYPG (65th), 225.2 PYPG (57th) and 22.8 PPG (49th). Florida should run the football with Jones.<\/p>\n
When they try to beat teams through the air Driskel usually ends up costing them. Driskel has thrown 8 INT\u2019s already this season while only throwing 6 TD\u2019s through the air and that has to improve.<\/p>\n
[dfads params=’groups=63739&limit=1&return_javascript=0′]<\/p>\n
I think Mizzou is a bit overrated and while the Gators aren\u2019t that good I still think they\u2019ll be able to run the football on the Tigers and cover the point spread at home. Florida\u2019s defense is also better.<\/p>\n
NCAAF Week 8 Betting Trends:<\/h3>\n
* MIZZ are 7-1 ATS in their last 8 road games.
\n* Over is 8-2 in MIZZ last 10 road games.
\n* MIZZ are 9-3 ATS vs. a team with a winning record.<\/p>\nFree NCAAF Pick: Missouri Tigers vs. Florida Gators<\/h3>\n
Mauk will likely struggle with turnovers whereas I expect Muschamp to game plan around the run. Florida will get up early and once Mauk is under some pressure at the swamp he\u2019ll start to fold.<\/p>\n
These two teams don\u2019t have much history, but they\u2019ve played each other the last two years and the home team has won. <\/p>\n
4* Play on Florida Gators \u20136 (-110)<\/b><\/p>\n
I\u2019ll stick with that trend and be betting on the Gators to win a low scoring game.<\/p>\n
