Rankings courtesy of the AFCA Coaches Poll powered by USA TODAY Sports.
Georgia is coming off an impressive 27-13 victory over then-No.3 Tennessee last week where it covered as a 9.5-point favorite. The Bulldogs moved into the No. 1 spot in the College Football Playoff rankings with the victory.
Mississippi State narrowly defeated Auburn 39-33 in overtime last week, although it failed to cover as a 12.5-point home favorite. The victory snapped a 2-game losing skid by the Bulldogs that saw them lose by a combined score of 57-23 — they aren’t exactly running hot before facing Georgia.

Georgia at Mississippi State picks and predictions
Prediction
Georgia 34, Mississippi State 14
Moneyline
I’ll PASS on taking the moneyline with Georgia (-85) as a heavy road favorite. The risk that comes with taking the visitor straight up isn’t worth it considering the minimal return you’ll receive with a win.
Against the spread
BET GEORGIA -16.5 (-109) as it has yet to show it can be defeated by anyone in the country. Georgia could start slow after a massive win over Tennessee last week, but it’ll cruise to a win with the College Football Playoffs in its sights.
Mississippi State is 0-3-1 ATS in its last 4 games following an ATS loss.
Over/Under
Give me UNDER 53.5 (-110) in this game as Georgia has typically tried to control time of possession. Georgia could hit the occasional big play, but it’ll try to get the run game going to ensure it comes away with a win Saturday and we just saw a dynamic Tennessee offense limited to 13 points by Georgia.
The Under is 4-0 in Georgia’s last 4 road games and the Under is 8-2-1 in its last 11 games overall. Meanwhile, Mississippi State has hit the Under in 6 of its last 7 home games against a team with a winning road record.
