Our Missouri Tigers vs Virginia Cavaliers Prediction
Missouri is the small favorite in this game; however, Virginia looks to be the best betting option. While the Cavaliers are coming off a disappointing loss to Duke, which eliminated them from the College Football Playoffs, they have overall been the more balanced team. The Cavaliers have a solid quarterback in Chandler Morris, while also having a rushing offense that has had plenty of success all season.
Missouri, on the other hand, has sometimes been too reliant on their running back, Ahmad Hardy. Their quarterback, Beau Pribula, has dealt with injuries this season and has had a hard time consistently throwing the ball.
Both offenses average 32.2 points per game, but because the Tigers can sometimes be a one-dimensional offense, our Virginia Cavaliers vs Missouri Tigers prediction is: Virginia Cavaliers +4.All tips are fully researched and given in good faith, but profits cannot be guaranteed.
