"Mizzou is a trendy 'dog. It's hard for bettors to pass up a 5-0 team getting 5.5 points at home," TwinSpires director of retail betting Zachary Lucas said.

The total climbed from 62.5 to 65, then backed up to 64. Tickets and money are in the 2/1 range on the Over at TwinSpires.

UPDATE 1 P.M. ET FRIDAY: LSU opened -6.5 Sunday afternoon at BetMGM and began sliding backwards midweek. On Wednesday, the Tigers went to -6/-5.5, then Thursday fell to -4.5. Late this morning, LSU rebounded to -5.5.

Missouri is seeing a modest majority 53% of spread tickets, while 60% of spread money is on LSU.

The total climbed from 62.5 to 65.5 by Thursday, then receded to 64.5 in the past hour. Tickets and money are both in the 7/1 range on the Over. In fact, by ticket count, this matchup is the second-most-bet Over on the college football Week 6 odds board at BetMGM.

UPDATE 3 P.M. ET MONDAY: In this SEC battle of Tigers, LSU (3-2 SU/2-3 ATS) is the lower-ranked team, on the road, against unbeaten Missouri. But oddsmakers certainly revealed a lot by opening LSU as almost a touchdown chalk.

LSU dug itself into a 21-7 first-quarter hole at No. 20 Ole Miss in Week 4, then rebounded to turn the game into arguably the biggest shootout of this season. LSU took a 49-40 lead midway through the fourth quarter.

But the purple-and-gold Tigers then gave up two touchdowns and lost 55-49 as 3-point favorites.

Missouri (5-0 SU/3-2 ATS) had no such issues with Vanderbilt. The black-and-gold Tigers took a 24-7 lead early in the third quarter and coasted to a 38-21 victory giving 14 points on the road.

Caesars remains at its opener of LSU -6.5. But the total nudged up from 62.5 to 63 in the college football odds Week 6 market.
