Week 10 SEC Picks and College Football Best Bets
By Evan Ertel
No. 12 Missouri @ No. 1 Georgia (-15.5) (O/U 54.5)
Evan: Georgia finally covered a multiple-touchdown spread for the first time in a month last weekend, but I don’t think they will make it a habit here. The road to Atlanta still exists for Mizzou, but that of course means a win in Athens, which I really do think is possible. The money line here is what is really enticing. Missouri +15.5
Justin: Will Georgia cover, or won’t Georgia cover, that is the question every week in college football. I think Missouri keeps this one within two touchdowns. Missouri: +15.5
Andrew: Here’s the thing we’ve learned with Georgia. When they view a game as serious, they flip the switch into murder ball mode. They did it to Kentucky when the Cats had hype. They did it to their biggest rivals in Florida. I know they let their other rival Auburn keep it close, but I don’t think they respected them at all. This game will get enough buzz for Kirby to lie to his players that we all think they’ll lose thus triggering murder ball. Georgia -15.5
John: Mizzou played this one surprisingly close last year. I don’t think UGA will overlook Mizzou this year, and it’s tough to play in Athens. But I just have a feeling that 15.5 is too many points to give this improved Tigers team. Mizzou +15.5
Ethan: Is Missouri good? I don’t know. Is Georgia going to consistently destroy its opponents? Maybe? I don’t exactly know what to make of how good Missouri is right now, but Georgia has found a rhythm even without one of the best offensive weapons in the country. Georgia -15.5
Ryan: I think Georgia is finally ready to consistently play up to their standard. Georgia should be able to stifle Missouri’s offense and move the ball on their defense. Georgia is just too talented and they are looking like the team we all thought they would be at the start of the year. Georgia -15.5
