The sun is shining. The birds are singing. And your Georgia Bulldogs are coming off a dominating SEC road victory. Mondays aren’t high on my list, but this one actually feels pretty darn skippy. Let’s catch up on what you need to know this morning in Bulldog Nation.
The focus now turns to the Missouri Tigers, last seen getting, and this is a term I use advisedly, hosed by the officials in a 34-20 loss to Texas. While the officiating may have turned the tide, the Tigers also had some defensive lapses that made life easier for the Horns. Our good friends at Rock M Nation, the excellent SB Nation Missouri site, have a breakdown of the breakdowns.
Mizzou has lost two of their last three, and are 1-2 against ranked opponents. With Georgia, Kentucky, and Oklahoma left on the schedule, Eliah Drinkwitz’s 6-3 Columbians are coming to Athens behind the proverbial eight ball.
That’s reflected in the spread. The boys and girls in Vegas have installed the Red and Black as a 15.5 point favorite on Saturday. That feels defensible to me given how each of these teams have performed in November. At the same time, Mizzou can be a tough out, as the Bulldogs have seen in the past.
This is the kind of game in which bettors can lose money, because Kirby doesn’t mind running the clock out up 21 late. And while you might lose your rent money when Missouri then scores a late touchdown to close to 14, the Kirbster will still sleep like a baby. So as we have said around here for years, those numbers are for entertainment and insight.
Go Dawgs!!!
