Jackson and Fernando predict every game on Mizzou’s 2026 schedule, debate what Austin Simmons needs to do for nine wins, and how many picks is too many.

1821 Sports is back. Jackson and Fernando go game by game through Mizzou’s 2026 schedule and land on two different finishes: Jackson says 8-4, Fernando says 9-3. The split comes down to Texas at home, where Fernando goes all in on the Tigers.

They also break down what Austin Simmons has to look like for Mizzou to hit nine wins, how many interceptions they can live with, why the defense is the biggest question mark on the roster, and why a Week 1 game against Arkansas-Pine Bluff can’t tell you much.
