Perhaps the funniest twist in college football this November would be the Oklahoma Sooners finding quality College Football Playoff positioning only to then lose a week later to the Missouri Tigers in a somewhat lost season.
My Missouri vs. Oklahoma predictions do not expect the Tigers to outright spring that surprising laugh, but it is worth pondering.
Let's dive more into my same-game parlay before kickoff comes at 12pm ET on Saturday, November 22.
Our best Missouri vs Oklahoma SGP for Week 13
The Oklahoma Sooners have a fatal flaw. They fail where it matters most. They rank No. 102 in the country in points per quality drive, per CFB-graphs.com, averaging just 3.05 points once into scoring territory.
This has cost Oklahoma twice this season, including not reaching the end zone at all against Texas. And this flaw ruins any confidence in the Sooners as two-score favorites against a quality opponent like Missouri.
Tigers head coach Eli Drinkwitz should emphasize protecting the ball even more than usual, avoiding as many risks as possible. That may sound boring, but it could also yield a Missouri victory.
If and when Oklahoma finds the end zone, its overall struggles in the shortened field are most often remedied by John Mateer, rushing for scores in six of his nine games this season.
Note if there is an applicable parlay boost available.
