Missouri Tigers Music City Bowl Betting Online
Following an 11-win campaign in 2023, the Missouri Tigers faced unreasonable expectations for 2024. Mizzou lost key contributors from that successful team who beat Ohio State in the Cotton Bowl, but Brady Cook did return for his senior season as starting QB. Missouri finished with a record of 9-3, including 5-3 in the SEC. Mizzou was able to fight through injuries, including to Cook, and had a successful season that will end with a 4th consecutive bowl trip under Eli. The Tigers may not have reached all of their goals, but it’s a good sign when a 9-win season isn’t considered good enough.

Before kickoff, more than three inches of snow covered Faurot Field. Afterward, victory cheers rang throughout, thanks to the Missouri Tigers' victory over their rival, the Arkansas Razorbacks.
Missouri had to fight for every yard and every score they put on the board as its regular-season finale at home, once again, came down to the wire. Fortunately for the Tigers, two hometown heroes, playing in their final game at Faurot Field, would give the Tigers the lead down the stretch.
The conditions in Columbia completely dictated the game strategy for the No. 21 ranked Tigers and the Razorbacks. Both squads brought talented quarterbacks to the field, but the slick turf and moisture on the football made creating an aerial attack challenging. It would prove, as the game progressed, that everything on offense would be a challenge and running the ball would be vital.
"The snow was a factor, for sure. We knew that," quarterback Brady Cook said. "But at the end of the day, both teams were playing in it. I think we took a little long to adjust."
Arkansas quarterback Taylen Green defied those harsh conditions while throwing the ball. He finished the evening with 229 passing yards on 21-for-35 efficiency. He made incredible throws down the stretch of the game and nearly delivered a win for the Razorbacks.
That didn't stop Green from coming out swinging in the first quarter. Green threw six passes on the first drive but only completed three. Arkansas missed on its fourth-down conversion and gave the ball right back to Missouri.
Missouri's passing attack didn't see much success to start. Cook looked like he was still dealing with the throwing hand injury he suffered against the Alabama Crimson Tide weeks back. Cook went out a winner and a legend.

You can’t talk about Missouri Tigers football without mentioning Don Faurot. Faurot is the namesake of the field that Mizzou currently plays in and was associated with the university for over 80 years. He is the second all-time wins leader for the university with 101 wins over his coaching career and led the team to four major bowl games over his 18-year coaching career.
Dan Devine helped Mizzou football stay relevant and led the school to its first bowl victory in the 1960 Orange Bowl. He was 92-38-7 during his time in Columbia and led the team to its first Top 5 finish in program history, too.
The man most associated with Mizzou's football success in the modern era is Gary Pinkel. Pinkel left as the winningest coach in school history after the 2015 season and shepherded the program into the SEC.
Many believed that Mizzou was going to be cannon fodder when making the jump from the Big 12 to the SEC, but he won SEC East titles in 2013 and 2014 and solidified the Tigers' status in the conference. Pinkel produced five double-digit win seasons from 2007 through 2014.
In 2023, Eli Drinkwitz priced the first Top Ten finish since Pinkel’s 2013 Mizzou team. Drinkwitz was facing a do-or-die season in his fourth year and delivered one of the best campaigns in Mizzou history.
