Georgia (-7.5) over Missouri, Saturday 6:30 (CT), Memorial Stadium

Georgia narrowly survived what would’ve been an embarrassing loss against Nicholls. Despite a promising debut, it’s clear that Kirby Smart doesn’t quite trust his freshman QB Jacob Eason yet. Missouri, despite their other flaws, has clear answer at QB as Drew Lock threw 450 yards and 4 touchdowns last week.

I’m leaning towards the former as I believe Georgia has the makings for an eastern division champion. Besides, I don’t see any way the Missouri can slow down Nick Chubb no matter who’s handing him the ball. Georgia 27, Missouri 17
