Missouri at Georgia odds, picks and predictions
The Missouri Tigers (7-1, 3-1 SEC) and Georgia Bulldogs (8-0, 5-0) meet Saturday at Sanford Stadium. Kickoff is scheduled for 3:30 p.m. ET (CBS). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook's lines around the Missouri at Georgia odds, and make our expert college football picks and predictions.
The Tigers are the biggest challenger to the Bulldogs for the top spot in the SEC East Division. Everybody else in the division has 2 or more losses, but Mizzou has just a single conference loss, and it can leapfrog Georgia with a win.
Mizzou gave Georgia its most difficult test in the regular season in 2022, falling 26-22 as a 31-point underdog at Faurot Field in Columbia last season.
The Tigers have covered 5 of 6 games, with the lone non-cover a 49-39 loss at home against LSU. The Over has cashed in 5 of the past 6 outings for Mizzou, with the Under cashing last week in a 34-12 win against South Carolina.
The Bulldogs posted a 43-20 win against Florida in Jacksonville in their annual rivalry game, covering a 14.5-point number. The UGA offense has posted 24 or more points in every game and 37 or more in 6 of 8 outings. The Over has cashed in 5 in a row for the Dawgs, while Georgia is just 2-4 against the spread (ATS) in the past 6 outings.
Georgia continues to be without star TE Brock Bowers, who is sidelined until at least late November due to his ankle injury.

Missouri at Georgia picks and predictions
Prediction
Georgia 36, Missouri 29
Moneyline
Georgia (-750) will cost you 7½ times your potential return, which is quite expensive in a battle of ranked teams.
The Bulldogs are going to get the best shot from the Tigers, as Mizzou racks up 33.9 points per game (PPG) to rank 27th, while rolling for 292.1 passing yards per game. The Tigers have an offense to compete with Georgia, although the Mizzou defense is a concern, even with Bowers on the shelf for the Bulldogs.
PASS.
Against the spread
MISSOURI +15.5 (-115) is a strong play catching more than 2 touchdowns.
The Tigers can score the football. They have 30 or more points in 6 consecutive games and 7 of the past 8 outings. Mizzou has the horses to give Georgia quite a challenge.
If Georgia -15.5 (-105) were at full strength with Bowers, this number might've been slightly higher and a little more attainable. Of course, Georgia didn't seem to miss him too much in a 23-point spanking of Florida last weekend, with WR Ladd McConkey posting 6 grabs for 135 yards and a TD.
Over/Under
OVER 55.5 (-110) is worth a look, as both of these offenses can be electric. This has the potential to be 1 of those games where whoever has the ball last wins, even though the books have installed Mizzou as a two-score underdog.
The Over is 5-1 in the past 6 games for Mizzou, with the defense allowing 21 or more points in 5 of those contests.
The Over has cashed in 5 straight for Georgia, too, with the defense actually yielding 20 or more points in 4 of those outings, while the offense has averaged 41.4 PPG during the 5-game stretch.
