Saturday college football and we will see the Georgia Bulldogs take on the Missouri Tigers at Faurot Field in Columbia, Missouri. The game has a start time of 12:30 pm (Eastern) and will be televised on the CBS. Current Vegas odds have the Bulldogs listed as 3 point favorites, while the total is set at 59.
Analysis: The Georgia Bulldogs come in at 4-1 on the year and are currently ranked 10 th in the polls. They are 4-0 at home, but 0-1 in their lone road game this year, which was at South Carolina. Georgia is 1-8-1 ATS in their last 10 SEC games, but they are also 13-1 ATS off a DD SU win vs an opponent that is off a SU dog win. The star of this offense is RB Todd Gurley, who just may be the best back in the nation. Todd comes in with 773 yards rushing and at 8.2 yards per carry, while putting up 8 TDs on the ground and 1 on a return. Overall the Georgia offense comes in ranked 39st in total offense, 110th in passing, 13th in rushing and 6th in scoring (45.0 ppg), while on defense they have been decent as they are ranked 36th in yards allowed, 47th vs the pass, 27th vs the run and 44th in points allowed (21.6 ppg).
The Missouri Tigers also come in at 4-1 on the year and are ranked 24 th in the polls. They did have last week off, but prior to that they Beat South Carolina on the road, which is something that the Bulldogs wasn’t able to do. The Tigers are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 SEC games, but also 1-4 ATS as dogs when playing with rest. Maty Mauck has completed just 56% of his passes, but has thrown for 1110 yards with 14 TDs and just 4 INTs, plus he has run for 124 yards and another score. Russell Hansbrough leads the team in rushing with 420 yards, while also posting 6 TDs. Overall the Tigers are ranked 78th in total offense, 77th in passing, 59th in rushing and 43rd in scoring (34.6 ppg), while on defense they rank 60th in yards allowed, 67th vs the run, 56th vs the pass and 33 rd in points allowed (20.6 ppg).
Pick: I like the Under in this game and like it even more now that Gurley is out for Georgia. The Dawgs still have some solid backs, but Gurley was about 40% of their offense and that is hard to replace, especially with just a day or two to make adjustments to their offense. Now they will be taking on a Missouri tem that has played good defense this year that is allowing just 20.6 ppg. The Bulldog defense has looked good of late, while Missouri has scored just 24 ppg in their last 2 games. I do not expect a shootout in this one.
