Texas vs. Missouri College Football Picks: With a victory over Oklahoma in the Red River Rivalry Game in its rear-view mirror, the Texas Longhorns must pick up and hit the road for their first true road trip since going to Wyoming in Week 2. The Longhorns must forget about the big win before going to Columbia, Missouri to play the Tigers of Mizzou. The Longhorns are currently ranked No. 3 in the BCS poll while the Tigers, at 4-2, are not ranked.
Aaron Williams knocked out Sam Bradford on a first-quarter sack, then he and Earl Thomas picked off backup Landry Jones in the fourth quarter to send Texas to a 16-13 victory over Oklahoma in Week 7. Texas was a 3-point favorite for this game, while the final score played UNDER the day's posted total of 52.5.
Missouri was crushed 33-17 by Oklahoma State in Week 7, as 7-point underdogs. The 50 points went UNDER the posted total of 54. Danario Alexander had 185 yards receiving with a TD in that loss for Missouri.
College Football Picks: Mizzou is rebuilding in 2009 and as of recently, it shows. The Tigers have lost their last two games by 15 points each to Nebraska, at home, and Oklahoma State, on the road. Tonight's game with Texas should look about the same way – hence, the 13-chalk installed by oddsmakers. We think you had better take it.
