Georgia vs Mississippi State Prediction
The Mississippi State Bulldogs are a bottom-feeding SEC team, and their getting taken behind the woodshed wouldn’t be surprising. However, this is a look-ahead spot for Georgia with Texas on deck. Could be a win-and-get-out situation for the Bulldogs. Also, Georgia is 1-11-1 ATS in its last 13 games when a favorite of 20 or more points. This is just a ton of points to lay in a game where Georgia shouldn’t have much motivation to pour it on. Give me Mississippi State and the boatload of points.
