The over is 6-1 in Georgia’s last seven games following an against the spread win. The over is 5-1 in Georgia’s last six games overall.
Missouri has been a better team at home, and they are going to find success again in this game at home. Look for Missouri's defense to slow down Georgia, and that is going to be the difference in this game. Back Missouri against the spread. In terms of the total I do believe this will be slower paced, and the under is also going to cash.
