Georgia vs Mississippi State Prediction
The current betting odds have Georgia listed as a 7.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. Georgia has looked really good in their games this season with their 7-1 record overall and their 5-1 conference record which has them right near the top of the SEC. They have been a good road team this year with their 2-0 road record and their only loss this season was against Alabama, but that loss doesn't look as bad with Alabama starting to look like the best team in the SEC again. Meanwhile, Mississippi State has looked good in their games this season with their 5-4 record overall, but their 1-4 conference record has them right near the bottom of the SEC. They have looked better on their home field with their 3-2 home record this season, but they still haven't been great with the way they have lost some of those games. They have definitely gotten better from what they were last season, but they have blown some bad leads this season. They finally picked up their first SEC win in their last one, beating Arkansas on the road 38-35, but now they are playing a top team in the SEC and they won't look as good in this game. They still don't have the talent to compete with the top of the SEC and they are due for a bit of a let down after picking up their first SEC win in years on the road. Georgia is off a 24-20 win in their last one and they have had some really close games this season where they needed late comebacks to win, but Georgia always finds a way to win. Now they are playing a much weaker opponent and they have been able to beat up on bad teams this year so look for Georgia to take an early lead here and never look back. The best way to place a bet here is on Georgia to cover the spread in this game.

Notable Quotes
“Man, I wish he was out there every play. I mean, he’s a machine, he erases things. Ball gets out, Lagway looks like he’s about to go. And I was like, he looks like he’s going to run for a long way. And CJ runs him down and tackles him right away. The kid practices so hard and wants to win so bad for Georgia. I don’t know that I’ve seen a kid that cared more about the team performance than CJ does. Now, a lot of people care about it. They’re not willing to practice like he does. He practices so hard that it comes across in his play. He’s a great leader, and I appreciate the work he puts into it.” - Kirby Smart on CJ Allen after his team’s win against Florida in their last game.
“We needed an old guy to be able to go win this game, felt that way and he did. Came back in, plays unbelievably tough and he leads us down the field to go win the game in the fourth quarter.” - Jeff Lebby after his team’s win against Arkansas in their last game.
