The Missouri Tigers have won their last seven true road games<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Missouri has alternated wins and losses over its last four games, as it looks to bounce back from a humiliating 34-0 setback to the Georgia Bulldogs as three-point home underdogs last Saturday, while going UNDER the betting total for a fourth consecutive contest.\u00a0 The Tigers will try to win their eighth consecutive true road game, which can\u2019t be ignored when making your Week 8 NCAA football betting picks, as they also look to capture their second straight victory in this series.\u00a0 Missouri is 3-1 SUATS as underdogs of 3.5 to 10 points the last two-plus seasons, with no clear edge in terms of the betting total (2-2 Over\/Under).<\/p>\n

The Tigers have compiled an 11-3 overall record in the next game following a loss since 2011, including a 7-2 mark since joining the Southeastern Conference in 2012.\u00a0 Missouri will be looking for quarterback Maty Mauk to put together a big performance, as he\u2019s completed just 54.4 percent of his passes, but he has managed to throw 14 touchdowns with eight interceptions.<\/p>\n

Florida has also alternated wins and losses over the same period of time as its upcoming opponent, as it dropped a 30-27 decision to the LSU Tigers as 1.5-point home underdogs last week, but it did win the statistical battle by a single yard.\u00a0 The Gators have scored 11 touchdowns in the red zone this year, but they\u2019ve also been held to eight additional trips of coming away with just a field goal.\u00a0 It\u2019s important to point out that the program has a plus-four turnover margin\u2014ranking tied for fourth in the SEC and 15th nationally.\u00a0 Florida is 14-6 SU and 7-13 ATS as favorites since 2012, with the UNDER going 10-9-1 in that situation.<\/p>\n

The Gators are averaging 31.8 points per game at this point in the season, which represents an increase of 10.7 from the team\u2019s output from 2013.\u00a0 Florida must win the turnover battle to pick up a victory in this spot, as it has tallied a plus-32 margin in 25 wins under head coach Will Muschamp.<\/p>\n

Sports bettors will likely back the Tigers due to the Gators being 1-5 ATS in their last six games versus a team with a winning record.<\/p>\n
