The 16th ranked Missouri Tigers are in desperate need of a win today as they play host to fellow Big 12 North compatriot, the Colorado Buffaloes. The Tigers have dropped their last two games, but still have a shot at the conference championship if they can naviagate the remaining mines on their schedule. College football betting odds at Sportsbook.com have Mizzou as a huge -24.5 home favorite in this 6:40ET kickoff. 
Last week Missouri started their big match-up with Texas in rather sluggish fashion. They did not look ready to play when the game kicked off, but did show up for the second half, outscoring Texas 28-21. Missouri tight end Chase Coffman was nearly unstoppable in the second half, and he finished the game with 12 receptions for 140 yards and a touchdown.
The Tigers will need to recapture their early season form and do it quickly if they hope to achieve any of their pre-season goals. They have a shot to get back on track against a Buffaloes team that has struggled on the road in recent seasons.
Colorado put themselves on the positive side of the .500 mark last week with a conference home win over Kansas State. The Buffs were not exactly pretty, but their defense held the Wildcats to just 13 points by limiting them to 3-of-15 on third down. They will face a stiff test today as Missouri pounded Colorado in Boulder last year by a score of 55-10.
College Football Betting Trend: The Under is 8-2 in Missouri's last 10 games as a home favorite in the month of October.
