The Georgia Bulldogs crushed the Florida Gators last week 34-7 and proved just how dominant this team really is. Now Georgia will welcome the Missouri Tigers to Sanford Stadium looking to stay the No. 1 team in the AP Poll and the College Football Playoff Rankings.
The College Football Playoff Rankings released on Tuesday Night and had plenty of surprises. However, Georgia sitting at the top of the list was not one of them. They’ve defeated three straight ranked opponents followed by Florida last week and have been extremely dominant in all phases of the game.
Meanwhile, Missouri can’t say the same. The Tigers are 4-4 on the year and struggled to put away SEC’s worst Vanderbilt last week, winning just 37-28.
Georgia will win this game without question. However, is it safe to bet against the spread on an enormous number? Read our picks and predictions for the Missouri Tigers and Georgia Bulldogs SEC matchup for November 6, on ESPN, at 12:00 p.m. ET.

Missouri vs Georgia predictions
Georgia -37.5 (-110)
It’s hard to bet these types of games against the spread. Everything must go right to win a bet like this. Georgia can win this game 35-0 and still lose against the spread, despite dominating the entire game.
While this is a huge mismatch, Missouri hasn’t been awful on the offensive end. The Tigers are averaging 34.8 points per game along with 454 yards per game.
At this time, quarterback Connor Bazelak is questionable due to an injury sustained against Vanderbilt. If he’s in, the offense has potential. However, every team that has had “potential” offensively against Georgia has struggled.
Georgia has allowed 6.6 points per game this season through eight games this year. Yes, the Bulldogs have allowed less than one touchdown in eight games this season while playing against many Top-25 teams.
The defense is as elite as it gets, and it’ll be difficult for any team to score against Georgia. If Missouri is without Bazelak, points will be extremely hard to come by.
On the other hand, Missouri’s defense is the reason why they’ve struggled all year long. The Tigers have allowed 475 yards per game and 36 points per game. That’s more than five touchdowns allowed per game this season.
The rushing defense has allowed 283.9 yards per game and the tackling has just been atrocious, especially in the open field. All of Georgia’s playmakers should have a field day as they run all over Missouri in this game.
If you play fantasy college football, Zamir White, who has 505 yards rushing on 92 attempts with eight touchdowns, is a great look for Saturday’s slate.
Back Georgia to cover a big spread. Georgia likely won’t have to punt this entire game.
Under 59.5 (-110)
Missouri is always an Over waiting to happen. The Tigers score 34.8 points per game and give up 36 points per game. But every time a big-time offense has to try to score against Georgia, things become increasingly difficult.
As of Wednesday, there’s no new news on Bazelak, making it even harder to back Missouri’s offense in this game. Even if he plays, will he be 100 percent healthy? Bazelak as 100 percent will struggle against Georgia.
Therefore, I’ll take the under. Georgia is capable of covering this number on their own, but we can give some credit to Missouri’s secondary and pass rush. It’s been effective at times. It’s mainly the run game that gets exploited game after game.
I’ll take the Under here and hope for a Georgia 52-7 victory (at worst) or something along those lines.
