Sbr Betting TicketThree Picks

Georgia vs. Mississippi State ATS Pick

Mississippi State +16.5 (-110) ★★★

Mississippi State isn’t going to win this game, but the school will play Georgia close for most of the contest. Georgia has been enjoying plenty of success in recent weeks, but the Bulldogs have played their last four games either at home or at a neutral site. They've participated in just two true road games this season, very nearly losing one.

Mississippi State’s three defeats have been double-digit losses on the road. Those setbacks came against strong teams in LSU, Kentucky, and Alabama. Mississippi State has earned 20-point wins in nearly all of the squad's home games, with the exception of the Week 10 collapse against Auburn.

Georgia vs. Mississippi State O/U Pick

Under 53.5 (-110) ★★★

Georgia’s defense is allowing just 10.8 points per game, minimizing the importance of Mississippi State’s 32.6 points scored per contest. Mississippi State has been struggling against good defenses. The Bulldogs scored just six against Alabama, 17 against Kentucky, and 16 against LSU. 

While the expectation is that Mississippi State will score under 20, Georgia getting anywhere near its season average of 40.1 points per game is also unlikely. Mississippi State’s defense has allowed 30-plus points in back-to-back weeks, but the team had given up 30 points to just one other opposing program before that stretch.

Georgia struggled on the road against a tough Missouri defense in early October. Now a juggernaut offense will be held in check enough again for the Under to cash.

Georgia vs. Mississippi State Prop Pick

Georgia Under 34.5 points (-113) ★★★

Mississippi State’s defense isn't as bad as the unit has looked over the last two weeks, and Georgia is playing in just its third road game of 2022. Georgia has only scored fewer than 35 points three times this season.

But Mississippi State has yet to give up 35 points in a game this campaign. The team has allowed 30, 27, and 31 points during losses. After jumping out to a huge lead in Week 10, the Bulldogs gave up 27 points in the second half to Auburn. They may have already mentally moved on to this game against Georgia.

A talented Georgia team may break 30 points for the seventh time in 2022, but Mississippi State's defense will do enough to keep the opposition below five touchdowns.
