Missouri’s passing attack has been productive

Austin Simmons has thrown for 947 yards and 11 touchdowns without an interception in 2026, while Cayden Lee leads Missouri with 412 receiving yards. Simmons threw for only 91 yards against Troy in his last game; Florida has allowed 248.3 passing yards per game, making Missouri’s aerial attack an important counter.

Florida receiver availability bears watching

Florida’s initial availability report listed Vernell Brown III and Bailey Stockton as questionable, while Eric Singleton Jr. was not listed. Sumrall said Brown had a knee tweak but felt good about his availability, though it was too early to know, while Stockton had a sore back and would probably be limited a good bit of the week, with nothing structurally wrong.

Pick Ideas

Florida spread, with a number limit

Florida is the ATS lean at -4.5 or better; the 2026 pregame records show Florida at 3-1 ATS and Missouri at 1-3 ATS, while Sumrall said the crowd would be 'off the chain' for the top-five matchup.

Over only at a favorable price

Consider Over 56.5 at a favorable price, but be cautious at 57.5: Florida’s totals cleared 56.5 in three of four games and Missouri’s in two of four.
