Bulldogs Survive Scare Against Missouri
Missouri should’ve beaten Auburn, but fumbled away a certain touchdown in overtime. Last week, the Mizzou Tigers nearly beat Georgia. The Bulldogs were a 28.5-point pick, but hung on to win 26-22.
It was the second straight sub-par performance by the defending national champions. Georgia has turned the ball over five times in the past two games, winning those two contests against Kent State and Missouri by a combined 21 points. The Bulldogs won their first three games by a combined 120-point margin.

An indication of Georgia’s offensive struggles in the red zone this season is that Bulldogs kicker Jack Podlesny is second in the nation in scoring with 58 points. They’re settling for field goals instead of touchdowns.
Tigers Can’t Hang On To The Ball
In order to stay close with a team as talented and deep as Georgia, Auburn will need to play near-perfect football. Unfortunately, that hasn’t been the Tigers’ approach this season.
Auburn is third from the bottom among FBS schools with a turnover ratio of -8. The Tigers turned it over four times in their loss to LSU and four times in their loss to Penn State.

Pick: Georgia Bulldogs -30 (-110).
