The Rundown

Missouri opens as a massive 52.5-point home favorite against Arkansas Pine Bluff, with the total sitting at 60.5. This is a classic FBS-versus-FCS season opener, and the number reflects exactly that — the Tigers are expected to roll. Worth noting, the spread has actually moved a full point toward the Golden Lions since opening at -53.5, which could indicate some sharp or public action on the underdog getting the points at an extreme number, or simply books adjusting to two-way action on a line this large. The total of 60.5 suggests oddsmakers expect Missouri's offense to do plenty of damage even in a game where starters may not play deep into the second half. Games at this magnitude are notoriously difficult to cover due to garbage time and clock management. The market trimming Missouri's number by a point says someone likes Arkansas Pine Bluff to keep it closer than initially projected.
