Mississippi State at Georgia: Three things to know
- Mississippi State scored a combined 16 points against Alabama, Texas A&M and Kentucky. It did score 24 against Vanderbilt last time out (Nov. 7), but this is an offense struggling despite head coach Mike Leach’s presence.
- Outside of its games against Florida and Alabama, Georgia’s defense has been really good this season. The Bulldogs are allowing just over 20 points per game despite those two performances.
- Mississippi State has failed to cover the spread in five straight games.

Mississippi State at Georgia: Odds, betting lines, predictions and picks
Prediction
Georgia 42, Mississippi State 14
Money line (ML)
Georgia is a monster money line favorite in this game, but there isn’t enough value here to bet it. At -3334, that’s just far too much of a risk.
PASS and consider betting on the spread or Over/Under.
Against the spread (ATS)
GEORGIA -24.5 (-110) is a huge favorite in this game despite changing quarterbacks this week. It should have no problem running the ball with ease against this poor Mississippi State defense. As mentioned before, Miss State has failed to cover the spread in its last five games as it just can’t keep up on offense. Take Georgia to win and cover in this SEC matchup.
Over/Under (O/U)
The total for this SEC matchup is set at 44.5, which feels low considering how explosive Georgia’s offense can be at any moment. While Mississippi State’s offense hasn’t been good this season, it should be able to score two or more touchdowns in this game, allowing the OVER 44.5 (-110) to hit at Sanford Stadium.
