Georgia heads to Missouri a road favorite on Sep. 22.

Can Mizzou hang with UGA? Or, is UGA destined to cover its fourth straight?

Why Georgia is a good bet?

This Georgia team isn’t anything like the squads that Mark Richt used to coach to disappointing seasons. Kirby Smart again has one of the top teams in the nation.

Georgia’s averaging 490.5 total yards per game. They’re also averaging 43 points per and they already dominated arguably the second best team in the SEC East Division, South Carolina.

Why Missouri is a good bet?

Yes, Georgia deserves the press in this battle, but Missouri is a good football team. The Tigers rank in the Top 5 in passing yards per game at close to 400 per. They rank in the Top 10 in total yards per game at around 580 per. UGA beat Mizzou 53-28 last season. Missouri quarterback Drew Lock threw 4 TD passes in that game. If Missouri’s defense can slow down Georgia’s offense, Lock can keep this game close.

Georgia at Missouri Final Analysis:

After the loss to Georgia last season, Missouri went on a tear winning 6 in a row and then beating Texas 33-16 in their bowl game. Mizzou started the season where they left off dominating overmatched Tennessee-Martin and Wyoming. Missouri’s biggest asset is that they are talented on both sides of the ball. Everyone knows how good Lock is, and even if Lock is off or doesn’t play, Mizzou can switch the script and rush the ball. Missouri’s stacked on defense where their linebacking corps is one of the best in the nation. Georgia’s a good team, but Mizzou has experience on both sides of the ball that should allow them to pull off the upset. I like Missouri straight up. NCAA Football Week 4 Pick: Missouri
