\"The<\/a>
The Missouri Tigers have one of the top offenses in the country<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Missouri will be looking for its ninth win of the 2013 campaign, as it comes off a dominating 31-3 win over the Tennessee Volunteers as 11-point home favorites last Saturday, while going UNDER the betting total for a second consecutive contest.\u00a0 The Tigers forced three more turnovers in that affair\u2014increasing their total to 17 that ranks second in the country.\u00a0 Missouri is 6-7 SU and 9-4 ATS on the road the last two-plus seasons, with the OVER going 9-4 in that situation.<\/p>\n

The Tigers could receive a boost to their offense with the potential return of starting quarterback James Franklin, but backup Maty Mauk has played well at times in his absence.\u00a0 \u201cI feel fortunate that Maty has done a good job,\u201d commented Tigers head coach Gary Pinkel.\u00a0 To earn a spot in the SEC championship game, Missouri will likely need to win its final three games.\u00a0 Offensively, the team ranks 15th in the country in averaging 500.0 yards per game, while sitting behind just 12 teams in averaging 40.6 points.<\/p>\n

Kentucky snapped a five-game losing streak by suffering a 48-14 defeat to Alabama State as 27.5-point home favorites in Week 10, but it was outgained by a triple-digit margin by its last five FBS opponents.\u00a0 The Wildcats did receive a big effort from quarterback Jalen Whitlow last Saturday, as he produced four touchdowns, while becoming the team\u2019s first 100-yard rusher in a game this season.\u00a0 Kentucky is 0-12 SU and 1-11 ATS as an underdog of 10.5 to 21 points since 2011, with the OVER cashing in seven of those opportunities.<\/p>\n

The Wildcats have been known for taking care of the football, as their six turnovers rank as the second-lowest total in the nation in that all-important category.\u00a0 Kentucky senior running back Raymond Sanders has 1,448 career rushing yards, while Jonathan George has 793.\u00a0 The program was one of the youngest in the country last season and 2013 is no different with 14 newcomers seeing action on the gridiron.<\/p>\n

Sports bettors will likely play the total, as the OVER is 5-0 in the Tigers\u2019 last five road games.<\/p>\n
