Sports are sprinkled with confounding against-all-odds comebacks, drama that adds much intrigue.
Just this week the Blues overcame multiple-goal deficits to win their first two games of the NHL season. The Minnesota Lynx obliterated a 15-point deficit with five minutes remaining in regulation play to stun the New York Liberty, the WNBA's top regular-season team, in Game 1 of the league finals.
But there was no drama with the way the sportsbooks have responded to Missouri's resounding and highly disappointing loss last weekend to Texas A&M, not only saddling Mizzou with its first loss of the season after four victories but also delivering a big blow to the Tigers' chances of making the playoff field that has been expanded from four teams last year to 12 this season.
