I’m on the Missouri State Bears -26.5 points vs Lindenwood for these reasons:

- Missouri State average nearly 30 points per game this season so far and lost to Ball State who were good last season, and they still put up 34 in a close loss on the road.

- Lindenwood have yet to score 2 TDS, and Missouri states defense should be superior here in this home game, with an opponent whose offense hasn’t came to life. I’m predicting a lot of short field drives for Missouri state whose offense is without a doubt the better side. In a home opener, they will likely 40-piece this team and allow 7 or less points.

Official Play: Missouri State -26.5

Side Bet: Under 54.5
