The Missouri Tigers will open their 2024 college football season at home, taking on the Murray State Races on Friday, 8:00 PM US EST, at Memorial Stadium in Colombia, Missouri. The Tigers will embark on a new campaign as the No.11 ranked program in the nation after retaining the core that won 11 games last season. Missouri quarterback Brady Cook returns for his senior season, so does wide receiver and legitimate Heisman Trophy contender Luther Burden III, who caught 86 passes for 1,212 yards and 9 touchdowns last year. Meanwhile, Murray State aims to win more games this season after posting with a dismal 1-7 record in the Missouri Valley Conference (2-9 overall) in 2023. The Racers have hired a new coach in Jody Wright, who boasts a vast experience working on the sidelines with several high-profile teams and programs, including a stint under Alabama’s legendary coach Nick Saban and stops in New York Giants and Cleveland Browns in the NFL.

Our Missouri Tigers vs Murray State Racers Prediction
Missouri head coach Eli Drinkwitz considers their upcoming match against Murray State the toughest opening day game he prepared for joining the program in 2020. The mystery surrounding Murray State has made the Tigers coach wary about his team’s ability to face the unknown. However, I feel Drinkwitz is just mind-conditioning his players to be prepared always regardless of the strength of their opponent. The fact that they have Brady Cook and Luther Burden III around is already an assurance that Missouri will definitely destroy Murray State in this opening night face-off? Will they cover the 46.5 point spread? While I have no doubt that they are capable of winning by than 50 points, the opening day jitter wills be the biggest factor why they will eventually fall short of covering such huge spread. Our betting prediction for Missouri Tigers vs. Murray State Racers: Bet on Murray State to cover -46.0 point spread, at DraftKings.
