Matchup Predictor
Georgia has a 94.7% chance to win, according to ESPN’s matchup predictor via Football Power Index.
Prediction
Georgia looked out of character against Kent State. The turnovers, yards allowed after the catch and McConkey’s bad day left the Bulldogs with a sour taste in their mouths headed into Week 5.
Unfortunately for Missouri, it’s the Tigers that have to face this UGA team looking to make up for the mistakes in Athens.
Missouri’s offense is putting up 28 points per game, 11th best in the SEC, while UGA maintains one of the nation’s top scoring defenses at 8 points per game.
The 22 points allowed to Kent State may be more of a fluke caused by turnovers than anything, as the Bulldogs have suffocated better offenses this season.
No. 13 Oregon scored three points in the season opener. South Carolina scored a garbage time touchdown in the fourth quarter with backups on the field and Samford was shut out in Week 3.
With Georgia’s knack for keeping opponents out of the end zone and Missouri’s offensive struggles, I expect the Tigers to barely find UGA’s side of the field.
Prediction: 42-7
Georgia wins, covers the minus 28 point spread and moves to 5-0 on the season.
