I agree 100 percent with Mike Tierney and was typing this as I saw his pick come in -- great minds and all! Any chance Missouri had of getting to even 10 points probably vanished with starting QB Connor Bazelak ruled out. Backups Tyler Macon and Brady Cook have combined to attempt just eight passes this season and now they face an historically good defense. This is simply will Georgia get to 52 points or so? Maybe, but this probably will be something like 41-3 entering the fourth and UGA will bring in the reserves.
Taking Mizzou and the points was tempting, but the scratch of Tigers QB Connor Bazelek puts the Under in play. Both of his backups are freshmen. The Bulldogs have yielded only five TDs all season, and just one game against a Power Five foe climbed above this number. Georgia accounted for every score (62-0) over Vandy. The Bulldogs will ease off in the fourth quarter to save up for Tennessee next week.
Mizzou figures to have a tough time scoring against the Georgia defense. Why should the Tigers be any different than anyone else? This is a good chance for the Bulldogs to pitch a shutout, but even if they don't, the offense may have to get north of 50 to go over this line. I think we'll see the subs in before that happens. Take the under.
