Only bet on an underdog you think can win the game, and in this matchup Georgia should be able to even though they are -5.5 point underdogs. One thing about Mizzou is their defense has been shaky vs decent competition, allowing less than 70 points to only Pitt out of the 6 teams that are credible to their schedule. Georgia have admittedly failed 4 of their 3 big tests this season vs Miami, Oregon and Providence, but beat Wakeforest who defends better and scores better than Mizzou. I like UGAs physicality and ability to get to the free-throw line (22nd in Free throw attempts) and ability to rebound better. Mizzou has only covered 2 spreads at home, so I don't believe they'll cover against a conference rival who has had a better season.

Official Bet: Georgia +5.5

Side Bet: Under 147
