Missouri vs. Army College Football Pick Prediction 12/22/2021 by Tony T.
Missouri vs. Army—Though this line is not at seven, SEC underdogs of seven or more have covered 14 of the past 20 times in bowl games. Missouri had to navigate through an SEC schedule and finished at 6-6 getting back to back wins late in the season to South Carolina and Florida to become bowl eligible. Defense did show improvement down the stretch as in their past three games the Tigers allowed 345 yards with 3 yards per rush average. Sophomore quarterback Connor Bazelak against the non-conference did complete 69.1% of his throws for 7.9 yards per pass attempt with eight touchdowns and two picks. Tigers leading running back Badie. Neither will quarterback Bazelak as he played hurt this season. Freshman quarterback Brady Cook makes his first start. Still, this is an SEC team and the Tigers are motivated to finish with their first winning record in three years. Head coach Eli Drinkwitz stands to earn $100,000 with this bowl win. Army a one dimensional offense that runs the football nearly 88% of the time. Black Knights complete half their passes. With Missouri showing better defensively down the stretch will take points here. Play Missouri +6.5.
