What does everyone have? I've only gotten one right in three years, but here goes: WVU 42 - MIZ 24

Tough one to predict. Mizzou was atrocious on offense last year, but had one of the nation's best defenses.

How will WVU's top 10 rated OL handle a true test on Saturday? Since it's the first game of the season, I think they'll handle them pretty well.

WVU 31-10

Like to have had a "warm up" game to get the offense in tune but it is what it is.

WVU 31
Mizzu 21

Openers against real opponents scare me. I was at the atrocious loss to Purdue years ago. That said, WVU wins an unexpectedly high scoring game.

WVU 38
Mizzou 27

The WVU oline vs Mizzou dline is the stuff that draft experts will probably look at but Mizzou's D isn't actually all that good on 3rd down or red zone. Their specialty is getting negative plays and without that the D is pretty average. That said, WVU gave up a lot of TFLs last year so I can see Mizzou holding them to around 20 points.

Can Mizzou's offense actually score? Last year the oline was timid and lost, the running game lacked big play power and the offense was running an inept Freshman QB and even more inept WRs. It was the softest offense you'll ever see. This year the oline is brand new (and unproven), the RBs will be new (and more proven), the QB is the same, the WRs are the same. Heupel is the new OC and he is known for being a good QB guy and a bad play caller. I think the offensive output will probably be around 17 points but I think thats a highly variable number.

So 20-17 WVU over Mizzou would be my prediction before factoring in things like turnovers. I like if WVU plays sloppy then Mizzou can win.

My son sent this to me earlier today. Me thinks they do not like the SEC.
