LIU Sharks vs. Georgia Bulldogs Prediction

I’m on LIU and the points here. Georgia’s had a tendency to drill these inferior teams this season, but this is a bit of a sandwich spot with their SEC opener against Auburn up next. The Sharks have found ways to be competitive in spots and I do think Georgia wins this game, but this is too many points. Give me LIU and the points.

Chris Ruffolo's Pick: LIU +30.5
