The Missouri Tigers have yet to leave the friendly confines of Columbia yet this season. Before embarking on its first road trip of the season, Missouri rests on bye. The Tigers outlasted Vanderbilt, 30-27, in overtime, following a tight 27-20 win against Boston College. With Missouri idle, the line won’t move based on its results.
Texas A&M, on the other hand, plays rival Arkansas in the Southwest Classic in Week 5. The Aggies won 11 of the last 12 meetings, but a poor showing or loss might adjust this line over the weekend. A&M also broke a 10-game road losing streak in Week 4 when it beat Florida, 33-20. The following week, A&M nearly dropped a home game against Bowling Green, ultimately winning 26-20.
Note some injuries to Texas A&M for this game. Star defensive end Shermar Stewart left the Bowling Green win late, in apparent “serious pain.” His availability for Week 5 is not yet known. QB Conner Weigman is cleared to return in Week 5, but the A&M offense appears to move better under the more athletic Marcel Reed than under Weigman, who has delivered mixed results. Starting center Mark Nabou suffered a season-ending injury, as did top running back Reuben Owens.
Barring a surprising Week 5 result from Texas A&M (-4), any movement here will likely be market-driven.

Missouri (4-0) fell to No. 11 in the AP Top 25 after a slim Week 4 win over Vanderbilt in overtime. So far this season, Mizzou has underwhelmed, particularly on offense. QB Brady Cook has been less aggressive – be it due to opponent or what else – and the Tigers rank 44th in yards per play (5.9) and 34th in points per drive. Its last two games against Power Conference foes featured postgame win expectancies (PWGE) of 68.9% and 49%, respective to opponent order, per Bill Connelly’s SP+.
Despite the close call with Bowling Green, Texas A&M (3-1) remained in the AP Top 25, climbing to No. 24. As we’ve seen the past couple years with A&M, the offense hasn’t quite clicked. The Aggies rank 72nd in points per drive and 73rd in yards per play (5.3). Weigman hasn’t met lofty expectations. He threw a pair of interceptions with no touchdowns against Notre Dame and missed the last two games. Backup Marcel Reed conducted the offense competently at Florida and against Bowling Green (4 touchdowns, 0 interceptions).
Per SP+, Texas A&M hasn’t garnered more than a 60% PGWE against an FBS foe this year. In fact, against BGSU, A&M had just a 47.4% PGWE.
Expect a tempered point total released with this game featuring two struggling offenses and sturdy defenses.
