Austin Peay Governors vs. Georgia Bulldogs Prediction
I’m on the under here. I don’t know how Austin Peay scored in this game, but we’ve also seen in the past where Georgia has chances to run up the score but instead Kirby Smart uses these opportunities to get his guys reps and work out kinks and problems within the offense. Last week against Marshall it was more of the same, as Georgia was heavily favored but instead of covering the spread they were worried about tightening up fundamentals and even in a blowout, they won, but didn’t cover but the game still stayed under the number. I think we have something similar brewing here so give me the under.
