Missouri Tigers quarterback Beau Pribula (9) throws a pass against the South Carolina Gamecocks during the second half of the game at Faurot Field at Memorial Stadium in Columbia, Mo., Sept. 20.

The UMass Minutemen (0-3) take on the No. 19 Missouri Tigers (4-0) Saturday at Memorial Stadium/Faurot Field in Columbia, Missouri. Kickoff is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. ET (ESPNU). Let's analyze BetMGM Sportsbook's NCAA football odds around the UMass vs. Missouri odds and make our expert college football picks and predictions for the best bets.

UMass was massacred 47-7 at Iowa Sept. 13, failing to cover as 35-point dogs. This came a week after losing 27-26 to Bryant as 14.5-point favorites at home. QB Brandon Rose went down in that game, and he's questionable to play in this one. QBs Grant Jordan and AJ Hairston combined to go 13-for-22 for 93 yards, no touchdowns or INTs against Iowa in his place.

The No. 19 Tigers took down South Carolina 29-20 at home last week, narrowly failing to cover as 10-point faves. The Gamecocks were up 17-12 midway through the third before Mizzou turned it on. RB Ahmad Hardy, who is drawing comparisons to Las Vegas Raiders RB Ashton Jeanty, rushed 22 times for 138 yards and a score. He has an eye-popping 600 yards on 79 carries (7.6 yards per rush) and 6 TDs on the year. QB Beau Pribula was 16-for-27 for 171 yards, 1 TD and 1 INT and rushed 9 times for 72 yards.

UMass at Missouri picks and predictions

Prediction

Missouri 52, UMass 10

Moneyline

This one is so lopsided that there are no ML odds.

PASS.

Against the spread

Mizzou has posted 61, 42, 52 and 29 in the first 4 weeks. It has a bye next week before welcoming Alabama. I could see it taking starters out early to prep for that big matchup. Give me UMASS +44.5 (-110).

Over/Under

Mizzou's lethal offense has helped it go 4-0 against the total this year. I look for it to drop 50 again despite the possibility of starters coming out early. UMass just needs to hit double-digits to give this OVER 56.5 (-110) a cha-ching.
