I don't have the balls to bet it, but would love to see Mizzou pull this off. Not just because I've been a fan since the "climb on Woody's wagon" days, but would love to hear the dejection and excuses from the SEC chest thumpers on Monday talk radio.

I have not pulled the trigger yet because I haven't seen Mizzou play. UGa has some key players suspended, as usual and may hurt their chances of winning this game.Comment -
Not sure what to make of Bob's picks, such a coin flipper's record over a huge sample size.
I like Georgia here, although the potential D suspensions and the ankle sprains on O line are of some concern. Georgia's D unit is better than anything Mizzou faced last year. Mizzou's finesse offense tends to struggle against respectable, physical D's. Last year they faced 3 D's near the caliber of Georgia's. In each of those games they scored exactly 17 pts, vs Texas, K St, and Miami, and this Georgia unit is better than those.
I doubt we will know if the D starters will be suspended until right before game time, this may influence my wager amount ( I will add on if they play). Mizzou is replacing half their total starters this year and 6 of those on Off. I always like dominate, established D's especially early in the season against mostly new offenses that are gelling, figuring out their schemes and communication. Although Missou has a dynamic QB/RB combo, Mizzou has an all new core of receivers this year
Georgia has a balanced attack on offensive, Murray on his way to breaking records with his receivers back from last year, improving with each passing game. Highly touted Fr RB looked very promising in his debut. Mizzou D is definitely not a strong point, allowing 30pts or more 5 times against good offenses last year. They try to outscore teams, which should be hard to do considering the extent to which I expect the Georgia D to limit scoring opportunities.Comment -
Missouri will win some games. They arrived at a good time when the East is down. Poor A&M has to battle it out in the West.
Misso, A&M and their fans are part of the SEC now. They have been welcomed with open arms. They should be grateful for being invited to join and embrace the SEC and all the tradition that comes with it. I don't see how an us against them (SEC) benefits them at all. They are one of us now.
As a long time SEC fan, I am really excited to watch the first two conference games of the new teams this weekend.Comment -
Wouldn't touch this game OPComment -
no +2 should be +10Comment -
I was listening to the Finebaum show, which is basically 'the SEC show', when the Mizzou announcement was made. The callers were having a field day laughing at what a doormat Mizzou was going to be. Obviously they aren't on the level of bama and lsu, but they can beat over half the teams in that league on any given Saturday, it's not like this is Florida Atlantic coming into the league. This Georgia game will definately be a good measure of how ready Pinkel and the Tigers are for what they've gotten themselves into though.Comment -
I agree, Mizzou definitely not a slouch, but they do tend to play a finesse style that doesn't match up well against the brute strength and physicality of the SEC's upper echelon. Just seems like when they faced SEC caliber defenses last year (Miami, Texas, K St) their offensive production fell off dramatically (17 pts scored vs each). They are better suited for racking up huge numbers against inferior opponents.
Their D is far from SEC caliber as well. I could never see this Georgia D allowing 37 pts to ASU, 45 to Oklahoma ST, 38 to Oklahoma, 31 to A&M, and 42 to Baylor. The only name programs they shut down last year were Texas, who was abysmal on offense against nearly everyone, and Miami early in the season before they found their rythm. It is almost a good news bads news situation that they lost 5 players off their D unit from last year.Comment -
Guess the 2 All American defenders will be out for Georgia tomorrow. The 2 defensive starters who were already announced as suspended obviously won't be playing either, so 4 starters out total.
Damn shame they waited soo long to make the announcement. Bigger shame they were suspended for something as innocuous as allegedly smoking weed. Still doubt Mizzou will win without alot of lucky, unforeseen/unpredicatable bounces and breaks, but definitely not good for Georgia backers, expected news though.Comment -
I'm going with the home team. I think Georgia is overrated like always.Comment -
Georgia tries to put their name in the same sentence as the elite SEC teams like LSU and BAMA ... truth is Georgia has never done jack shit.
Take Mizzou ML and thank me later.Comment -
I"m one of those SEC chest-thumpers, and I'm taking Mizzou.Comment -

my angle.
Florida is 8-0-1 in game two's. 7-3 in first b2b road game. Additionally TX A&M is 1-4 L5 SEC games.
Mizzou 5-0 in 2nd of 3 game homestand's. 3-0 L3 vs SEC. 4-1 off SEC win of 15+ pts or more, 3-1 in gm 2's. Additionally, Georgia is 0-5 in 1st conference games and 1-4 in game 2's.Comment -
I'm leaning Mizzou. This is the kind of game that Georgia doesn't win and keeps them out of the SEC elite.Comment -
Mizzou +108

Take Mizzou and the points. Georgia is the most overrated team in America. Their high preseason ranking came as the result of an incredibly weak schedule last year and a weak schedule coming up this year. They struggled with Buffalo and looked awful doing it. Yes, they pulled away but they basically just out talented a very little talented team.
Murray can be very inaccurate at times and they have no, I repeat NO down the field threats on the outside. Gurley and Marshall have never played a game on the road or in the SEC, so crowning them as big weapons is premature. UGA's defense wasn't near as good in their opener as they hoped and without Ogletree and Rambo, they're going to have a really hard time with Missouri's offense.
Missouri wins outright, but take the points if you're scared.Comment -
lol 15th overall strength of schedule last year.....incredibly weak. Did you forget about tavares king? hes the leading sec receiver currently...i would know your facts before posting i can point out flaws in your whole entire postComment -
They played 4 good football teams all year and lost to all four of them. They didn't have to play Arkansas, Alabama or LSU in the regular season. Tennessee and Florida were both down and Auburn was average at best.
Their wins last year came from Coastal Carolina, Ole Miss, Miss St, Tennessee, Vandy, Florida, New Mexico State, Auburn, Kentucky and Georgia Tech. That's a horrible list to get to 10 wins. None of the SEC teams they beat had a winning record in the conference and the only teams they played that had conference winning records beat them.
They are a mirage.
King is NOT a downfield threat. He has solid hands and is good with the ball after the catch, but he's not a burner in the least.
I know my facts plenty, I'm not a blind homer.Comment -
well you should atleast know enough about the sec that ANY sec win is not easy. almost anyone can win in the sec on any given day so obviously haveing the 15th toughest schedule in the country MUST mean something. lol uga schedule is weak because they didnt play arkansas or bama? and your crazy to say tavares king isnt a downfield receiver...he can do it ALL. you ovb dont know what your talking about when it comes to this team, and dont forget malcom mithell who will prob play today who will see more than a few snaps on the offensive side of the ball.Comment -
^^^bobo is horrible agreedComment -
Ok. I know nothing.
Georgia is the best team in college football. You should take them -45 @ Mizzouri b/c they've proven they can beat good football teams by simply playing the 15th hardest schedule according to some stupid computer.
Everyone should completely forget they've gotten beaten by every team they played that was any good and not pay any attention to the suspensions of two starters from a defense that gave up a ridiculous amount of yards to Buffalo. You should also just go ahead and cut the Heisman in 3 pieces to share between King (Who can do EVERYTHING), Gurley and Marshall b/c they all looked great against Buffalo, which has to mean something.
Bump this thread later tonight, please.Comment -
Hey guys, another couple things that you probably shouldn't consider when betting:
Aaron Murray has started 2 SEC openers. 0-2
In two years (Since Murray started starting), Georgia is 3-5 in September and those three wins are UL-Lafayette, Coastal Carolina and Ole Miss with the five losses being South Carolina x 2, Arkansas, Colorado and Boise State.
Since Mark Richt became head coach at Georgia, they have played 2 games in the regular season west of the Mississippi. 0-2
Last year, Georgia played 4 teams that finished in the AP top 25's final poll. 0-4
Please ignore these things b/c Georgia has a WR who can "do everything" and two freshmen RBs better than Herschel Walker. Do not pay attention to them not being able to beat good football teams.Comment -
Thanks for making this game more exciting to watch Vols. Will be a great game to watch and BOL to every1 Comment -
