3. Quick Lane Bowl (vs. Eastern Michigan)

CBSSports has Missouri playing in the Quick Lane Bowl in Detroit against Eastern Michigan (7-5). This would be a really tough game in a tough environment.

Eastern Michigan would be playing in what’s tantamount to a home game, just a 50-minute drive from campus to the city of Detroit.

Eastern Michigan, like Missouri, failed to string together more than two wins in a row this season. It’s hard to get any consistency or momentum when you’re alternating wins and losses.

The Eagles allow 198 yards rushing per game on the ground, which would be even more enticing for Tyler Badie in his farewell game for Missouri.

It’s not often an SEC team meets a team from the MAC, so it would be interesting to see how the Eagles could handle the size and speed from the SEC.

Most would expect Missouri to run all over Eastern Michigan, literally.
