Missouri Trying to Find Consistency

Missouri had a rough afternoon against Texas last Saturday, falling 34-20 at home. The Tigers had beaten Arkansas 34-10 the previous week, but couldn't carry that momentum into their next game. Missouri also lost 31-3 to Ole Miss in October. The Tigers have struggled to score against stronger opponents, although wins over Texas A&M and Florida showed what this offense can do.

Austin Simmons has passed for 2,204 yards, 18 touchdowns and only two interceptions. Jamal Roberts leads the rushing attack with 1,071 yards and nine scores, averaging 5.1 yards per carry. Cayden Lee has 835 receiving yards, while Donovan Olugbode adds 624. Defensively, Daeden Hopkins has seven sacks and Nicholas Rodriguez leads Missouri with 98 tackles. The Tigers will need Roberts to find running room against Georgia.

Injuries: G. Hoffman, J. Brady, C. Green and A. Hardy are out. D. Smith and B. Norfleet are questionable.

Georgia Taking Care of Business

Georgia had little trouble with Ole Miss last Saturday, winning 42-7 on the road. The Bulldogs followed their 27-8 victory over Florida with another dominant defensive performance, allowing just 15 points across those two games. Georgia has responded well since losing 27-24 to Auburn on October 17. The Bulldogs also beat Alabama 20-17 earlier in October, showing they can handle close games when necessary. Their defense has been particularly impressive lately.

Gunner Stockton has passed for 1,857 yards, 20 touchdowns and four interceptions, completing 70.9% of his throws. Dwight Phillips Jr. leads Georgia with 481 rushing yards, averaging 7.3 per carry. Nate Frazier adds 404 yards and six touchdowns. Talyn Taylor leads the receiving group with 426 yards and six scores. Georgia's defense features Chris Cole, who has five sacks, and Raylen Wilson, who has four. Both have recorded 58 tackles. The Bulldogs have also collected eight interceptions, giving Missouri's offense another concern.

Injuries: I. Canion and D. Dowdell are out. T. Blackshear is questionable.

Key To The Game

Missouri needs Roberts to establish the run and keep Georgia's defense from attacking Simmons on every passing down. The Bulldogs have allowed only 15 points across their last two games, while Missouri struggled offensively against Texas and Ole Miss. Georgia's defensive pressure could decide how competitive this game becomes.

Missouri vs Georgia Game Pick

• Georgia Bulldogs -15.5

Georgia has been outstanding defensively, holding Florida to eight points and Ole Miss to seven. Missouri has struggled against stronger opponents, scoring just three against Ole Miss and 20 against Texas. Stockton has protected the ball, and Georgia's rushing attack should help control possession. Missouri can move the football through Simmons and Roberts, but the Bulldogs have the stronger defense and more reliable scoring options. Georgia has won its last two games by 19 and 35 points. I'll take the Bulldogs to cover.

Missouri vs Georgia Over/Under Pick

• Under 47.5

Georgia's defense has allowed just 15 points in its last two games, and Missouri's offense has been inconsistent against stronger competition. The Tigers scored only three at Ole Miss and 20 against Texas. Roberts can help Missouri move the chains, but finding the end zone against Georgia won't be easy. Stockton and the Bulldogs should produce points, although Georgia doesn't need a high-scoring game to win comfortably. With the home defense playing this well, I'm taking the under 47.5.
