Missouri at Georgia picks and predictions
Prediction
Georgia 38, Missouri 21
Moneyline
PASS.
Georgia (-750) should win at home, but there is no value betting the moneyline.
Against the spread
BET GEORGIA -16 (-108).
Georgia is hotter than a firecracker on the Fourth of July, and the Bulldogs have been making things look easy lately. They've rolled past the Florida Gators and Ole Miss Rebels since their bye week. They lead the SEC in scoring at 41.1 points per game while allowing just 14. Stockton has thrown 20 TDs against only 4 INTs.
The Bulldogs are also 7-2 ATS and have beaten Missouri 10 straight times. With Georgia clicking on both sides of the ball, this could get ugly quickly.
Over/Under
BET OVER 47.5 (-110).
Georgia's offense is on a roll and 6 of their 9 games have finished Over the total. Missouri can put up points, too, averaging 30.2 per contest. If Georgia jumps ahead early, expect Simmons and the Tigers to start airing it out, giving this matchup plenty of scoring potential.
