Premium Pick

Georgia got a scare from Nicholls State, winning 26-24 as a 52.5-point favorite, which would have been the biggest upset in college football history. Freshman Jacob Eason was 11 of 20 for 204 yards with a touchdown and an interception in his first start. Nicholls had a 14-13 lead early in the second half when Isaiah McKenzie went 66 yards for a touchdown that gave the Bulldogs a lead they never relinquished. Georgia held the Colonels to 236 total yards and 3.1 yards per carry, although the Bulldogs defense obviously was expected to dominate. Georgia won its opener over North Carolina with only 185 passing yards, but with a time-consuming 52 rushes for 289 yards. These teams met last year with Georgia winning 9-6 as a 14.5 point favorite, holding the Tigers to just 164 yards of total offense. Missouri averaged only 14 points per game in 2015 while allowing just 16. The offense came to life last week in a 61-21 win over Eastern Michigan, however, against a more formidable opponent in its opener, the Tigers were held to 11 points by West Virginia. Drew Lock completed only 49.1 percent of his passes last year and was 23 of 51 for 280 yards against the Mountaineers. Georgia has gone UNDER 14 of its last 17 games, and Missouri has stayed UNDER in 12 of its last 15 home games and seven of its last eight conference games. This matchup has two quarterbacks who are either inexperienced or unproven. Play the UNDER.
