Georgia Bulldogs vs. Missouri Tigers Prediction

I’m on Georgia here. I think the Bulldogs are simply the better team here and while both teams have struggled with consistency, I just don’t see a world where the Missouri Tigers get it done consistently. The Bulldogs are more talented and while a lot of their best work has been done at home, I think Georgia does enough to get the win and cover here.
