The Georgia Bulldogs have had a tough few weeks, coming off consecutive losses to Alabama and Tennessee. Their biggest concern though is the loss of Heisman hopeful Nick Chubb, who suffered a gruesome knee injury last week that will keep him on the sidelines for quite some time. I think this team is in a fragile state at the moment, and could struggle against a tough conference rival.
Here are my keys to the game:
1. Missouri Defense - The Tigers rank 17th nationally in total defense, and they have allowed opponents to average fewer than 14 points per game. They are particularly good against the pass, ranking tops in the SEC.
2. Injuries - The Bulldogs offense relied heavily on Nick Chubb, and he will be missed. They are also banged up on defense, and last week at Tennessee they allowed the Vols to score 21 points in the second half, coming back from a 24-3 deficit to win 38-31.
3. X-Factor - The Tigers are 11-3 ATS in their last 14 road games.
Selection: This is a play on the Missouri Tigers (8*)
