Missouri +14.5/15. First, I know Georgia is clearly among the best teams in America and will probably
beat Missouri straight up this weekend. Not so sure against the spread. I will take the Tigers ATS and
hope the line continues to go up. Missouri has the #3 pass offense and #8 total offense in the nation. They
have a QB who has thrown for 1,062 yards and 11 tds in 3 games and a receiver ranked #4 nationally with
342 yards. Their run game averages 218 YPG and the offensive line is huge with every starter over 6-4, 315
pounds. In other words, this is a pretty good offense to go with an improving defense (No. 16) nationally.
Georgia is No. 11 in total defense and has not allowed a rushing TD this season. But, that same D is #110 in
tackles for loss and has registered only 1 sack in 3 games. Give Drew Lock time and he will pick any defense
apart...and I'm guessing he has a productive day against the Dawgs. After getting hammered 53-26 last year,
Missouri will show up for the Dawgs in front of their home crowd.
My take and welcome yours...………………….
Really excellent points bro !!!! My concern is Mo's Defense vs the Pass ...Missouri 124th out of 130 Teams vs the Pass ... Georgia will have to throw to beat Missouri because the Tigers run D is stout ...but here's the catch ....Does Georgia try to establish the run early to set up the Pass ...or do they do the Smart thing ( Get it ? Coach Smart ) LOL !!! ...and Pass to eventually set up the run ...
Yes Missouri struggled badly with Purdue's Passing Game but the Boilermakers throw the ball 61 % of the / 2nd most in college football ....while Ga only throws the 34 % of the time ( 121st in College Football ) ....
Last year's contest ... Georgia averaged 6.9 yards per carry ...if they do the same here for this game , then the same results may happen ... 53-28 last year Georgia ....
but
if Mo's Run Defense has improved , like they have shown so far this year , then Georgia may indeed struggle a bit ...
Missouri was ranked 43rd vs the run as far as yards per rush in 2017 ( 4.0 yards per carry ) .... this year vs VERY WEAK COMPETITION ....Purdue only runs the ball 39 % of the time .... Wyoming who's Offensive line may be a bit light , unsure ....then they Tenn Martin ,,,a nobody ...
Your call ...GL !!!
