Missouri vs. Iowa expert predictions
For the Music City Bowl 2024, Kaylor is going Under the total (40), despite it being the lowest over/under line on the remaining college football odds board.
Iowa's offense had a breakout year by its recent standards, averaging 28 points per game. After being one of the more reliable Under teams in the nation last year, Iowa reversed that trend and its games hit the Over nine times this year.
However, Kaylor points out that much of Iowa's offensive engine will be unavailable for this game. Johnson, one of the nation's best running backs, is sitting out. Starting quarterback Cade McNamara is in the transfer portal. Missouri is missing some key offensive pieces as well with Burden and Membou sitting.
Iowa ranked fourth in the Big Ten in scoring defense, while Mizzou ranked sixth in the SEC in that category. Missouri's offense showed explosive capabilities at times, but also got blanked at Alabama and scored just 10 points at Texas A&M, so the Tigers aren't a lock to light up the scoreboard against a physical defense.
