Comments
This one is a fairly even matchup. It would probably be a toss-up if it were being played in Columbia. Florida should win at home but the good showing Mizzou had against Georgia last weekend may indicate that the Tigers are better than we think. If Missouri could get the Burden kid more involved in its offense they might be able to steal one in the swamp.
