How will the Tigers fare in 2019?

  • Week 1: Aug. 31 at Wyoming (W) — The Tigers have won two-straight season-openers under Odom and outscored their opponents 123-57. Missouri beat Wyoming 40-13 in the two teams’ first-ever meeting in 2018.
  • Week 2: Sep. 7 vs. West Virginia (W) — The Mountaineers spoiled Odom’s first game as Missouri’s coach in 2016, but this game will be at home and the Tigers will return the favor.
  • Week 3: Sep. 14 vs. SE Missouri State (W) — A nice tune-up game to get the back-ups experience before opening up SEC play the following week.
  • Week 4: Sep 21 vs. South Carolina (W) — Odom has lost three-straight head-to-head matchups against Will Muschamp. However, the Tigers will enter this game undefeated, with a bunch of confidence and will snap its’ three-game losing streak to the Gamecocks.
  • Week 5: Oct. 5 vs. Troy (W) — After coming off a bye-week Missouri will be ready to go and won’t take Troy lightly with its’ history of upsetting teams like LSU and Nebraska on the road.
  •  Week 6: Oct. 12 vs. Ole Miss (W) — This game will be an offensive shootout, with the team possessing the ball last winning. Bryant will make enough plays to keep the Tigers unblemished on the season.
  • Week 7: Oct. 19 at Vanderbilt (W) — Odom has yet to lose to Vanderbilt and Missouri will continue its’ win streak over its’ East Division foe, despite the game going down to the wire.
  • Week 8: Oct. 26 at Kentucky (W) — This will be the revenge game for Missouri after the second half debacle at home against Kentucky last season that resulted in a one-point loss.
  • Week 9: Nov. 9 at Georgia (L) — Having the week off, the Missouri players will storm in Sanford stadium with upset on their minds. However, they’ll be humbled with their first loss of the season.
  • Week 10: Nov. 16 vs. Florida (L) — The Gators got embarrassed at the Swamp by Missouri last season and will come to Memorial Stadium to return the favor.
  • Week 11: Nov. 23 vs. Tennessee (W) — Senior Day will bring out the best in every Tiger player and Bryant will put on a performance of a lifetime as Missouri gets the blowout win over the Tennessee.
  • Week 12: Nov. 30 vs. Arkansas (W) — Odom is 3-0 against the Razorbacks, but this will be a hard-fought, entertaining game with the Tigers coming out on top with a last second field goal.
