Randy’s Pick
The Georgia Bulldogs are the better team, obviously, and haven’t lost at home in 4 years, so they should be favored. However, this line feels inflated a bit. The Missouri Tigers are a more than respectable opponent that has 2 road wins and a top-25 offense. Missouri has one of the better quarterbacks in the county and a defense that’s top-30 against the run. This is the first time this season, Missouri is a double-digit dog. Just throwing out a large number just because its Georgia seems a bit disrespectful. Give me Missouri and the points.
