This is a tough spot for a bad Missouri offense, one that is #307 in the nation in scoring, plus shooting 41% as a team. They just ended a 13-game losing streak with a win over Florida and the Tigers are 3-11-1 ATS in their last 15 road games. This is a let-down spot and Missouri is 9-23-3 ATS following a win. Georgia is home and playing well, winning 9 of 13. They come off a 76-72 victory at Ole Miss on Wednesday night. Georgia won the game with defense as they shot just 37% from the field. The defense forced 35% shooting by Ole Miss. Kenny Gaines should get much of the defensive credit for limiting the opponent's top scorer. The Rebels' Stefan Moody had scored 51 points, with 61% shooting from three-point range in their previous two games. He managed 19 points against Georgia but needed 16 shots and 7-for-7 from the line to reach that mark. Moody made just two for 11 from three-point range and had two of his attempts blocked by Gaines. Georgia is on a 34-16-1 ATS run in SEC play and 16-7 UNDER the total at home against a team with a losing road record. Georgia took both ends of a home-and-home series in 2014, winning 70-64 in overtime at Columbia and taking a 71-56 decision in Athens. The home team is 4-1 ATS when they meet and the wagering value is for Georgia to roll, plus a great defensive first half. Play Georgia and the first half UNDER.
