ESPN’s FPI is predicting that there will be a lopsided victory for one team in the Missouri-Georgia matchup.
Both teams coming into the game ranked and with something to prove.
Georgia is coming off of a 43-20 win over Florida in Jacksonville. Once the Bulldogs took the lead in that game, they didn’t let go and dominated the Gators for four quarters.
Missouri beat South Carolina in its last game. The Tigers have had a bye week to focus on preparing for Georgia as they head to Athens to battle the No. 2 team in the country.
Last season’s meeting in Columbia was almost a huge upset for the Tigers. Georgia escaped Faurot Field with a 26-22 win. A touchdown from Daijun Edwards gave the Bulldogs the lead late in the final quarter.
The FPI doesn’t think this year’s game will as close as it was last year. Georgia is given an 83.3% chance to win. Missouri’s odds of pulling off the upset are 16.7%.
Georgia is one of the last ranked teams on Missouri’s schedule. The Tigers will welcome Tennessee to Columbia after this game. Georgia plays ranked competition in its next two games with Ole Miss then Tennessee up next.
Kickoff from Sanford Stadium will be at 3:30 p.m. ET on CBS.
