5 minMissouri vs. Georgia Prediction, Pick, Odds: Can Missouri Pull Off The Upset Of The Year?
The Georgia Bulldogs are on a 34-game win streak from November 2020. But if there's ever a regular season game for the Bulldogs to be weary of, it's this one. Luckily for Georgia, the Bulldogs will be home. However, they're facing a Missouri Tigers team that is 7-1 on the season. Missouri's only loss came against LSU, which is the nation's best offense, statistically speaking. Georgia hasn't looked as good as last year's championship team. However, they've still earned SEC wins against Auburn, Kentucky, Vanderbilt, and Florida to begin their four-game SEC run. Now, they'll look to add the Missouri Tigers to the list of SEC teams that they've beaten.

Missouri vs. Georgia Prediction
The spread is sitting at -16 for Georgia. It doesn't seem like this game will be close. However, the Missouri Tigers have been one of the more surprising teams in college football this season. They're 7-1 and have earned back-to-back wins against Kentucky and South Carolina by multiple scores. The offense is led by Brady Cook, who has looked sensational this season. The junior quarterback has a 77.4 QBR with 15 touchdowns and three interceptions. He's also added 2,259 yards in the air and ranked 16th in QBR this season. Meanwhile, senior running back Cody Schrader has rushed for 807 yards with nine touchdowns. He's averaged 5.8 yards per carry on 140 attempts this season. There's a lot of offensive talent on Missouri this season. Meanwhile, Georgia's pass rush hasn't been what it used to be. Cook should have time in the pocket, and the running game could still have some success. Georgia has allowed 272.1 yards per game. They're still one of the best defenses in the nation. But they're nothing like they used to be. Meanwhile, Carson Beck had the tough assignment of replacing Stetson Bennett. However, in his first season as a starter, Beck has thrown for 14 touchdowns to go along with four interceptions. He's also added 2,462 yards in the air and has helped the Bulldogs earn over 500 yards per game this season. Some have pointed out that Georgia's schedule has been easy. Compared to other SEC schools, it has been. However, Missouri's defense isn't anything special. Georgia should find plenty of offense against Missouri. The Tigers have a solid secondary and have held teams to 112 yards on the ground per game. That's way above average. However, Georgia's got some of the biggest offensive linemen in the game. They'll hold Missouri up front and give Beck some time in the pocket. The run game has also added 172.3 yards per game, with Daijun Edwards getting most of the carries. He's rushed for 5.9 yards a carry and has eight touchdowns this season. While Georgia has been dominant on offense, they've allowed at least 20 points in four of their last five games. Missouri's easily the best offense that Georgia will face this season in the regular season. Therefore, I'll ride the Over 56. While I'd love to back Missouri against the spread, the over is just way more appealing.
