Rarely do two ranked teams meet up on Thursday Night Football, and this just happens to be one of those special occasions.

The No. 21 Nebraska Cornhuskers and their 3-1 SU record visit undefeated, 24^th-ranked Missouri Tigers, who this week earned a spot in the top 25 for the first time this year (9 pm ET, ESPN).  

Missouri is a big 17-point favorite and the over/under is 52.5 in NCAA Football Odds.

Both teams average around 450 yards offensively, Missouri a little more, Nebraska a little less. Defensively, the Cornhuskers allow just 285 yards per game compared to Missouri’s 352 yards per contest. Both teams have out-gained their opponent in every single game they’ve played this year. That will change for one of these teams. 

Both teams have been great against the spread this season, Missouri is 3-1 during their undefeated start while Nebraska has yet to lose ATS, going 4-0 to start the season. Combined, these two teams are 2-6 O/U so far this season.

Missouri has ousted Nebraska in 3 of the last 4 match-ups between these two schools. And it hasn’t been pretty. Over the last two seasons, Missouri has outscored the Cornhuskers 93-23.  Missouri’s Sophomore quarterback, Blaine Gabbert, has yet to throw an interception while tossing 11 touchdowns in 4 games. Nebraska’s Zac Lee has also been good, completing 65% of his passes with 7 TD passes and just 3 INTs.

The Tigers best win came at Nevada. The Cornhuskers went to Virginia Tech and lost by just a point to the Hokies, but their best win is probably Arkansas State. Needless to say, neither team is what you’d consider proven at this point.

54% of the public bets are coming in on Nebraska. The spread has really been on the move, starting out at (-1) for the Cornhuskers, and moving past a field goal to (-3.5).
