Friday, Nov. 29th’s Battle Line Rivalry between Missouri and Arkansas is setting up to be the SEC version of an older brother reminding the younger one who runs the household. Missouri comes in polished, confident, and acting like a team that’s seen this movie before — because they have. The Tigers’ offense moves with that “we actually have a plan” efficiency, mixing sharp playcalling with big-boy explosiveness that puts defenses in panic mode fast. Arkansas brings chaos, heart, and a couple haymakers, but Missouri has the cleaner hands, the better rhythm, and the kind of execution that turns close games into quiet blowouts.

This is control versus desperation, and Missouri is built to dictate the script. Expect the Tigers to settle in early, stack steady punches, and slowly squeeze the life out of Arkansas’s defensive hopes. By the second half, adrenaline will be high, fans will be yelling, and every Mizzou drive will feel like another nail getting hammered in. Arkansas will try to swing wild and flip the momentum, but Missouri’s discipline and firepower should carry them through the storm. The Tigers walk away with bragging rights and SEC momentum; Arkansas walks away wondering at what point they lost the plot.
