UMass at Georgia picks and predictions
Prediction
Georiga 48, UMass 10
Moneyline
PASS.
Georgia is such a heavy favorite that the ML is OTB.
Against the spread
LEAN UMASS +42.5 (-115).
Georgia has failed to cover 7 of its 10 games this season, including all 5 as a favorite of 14.5 or more points. Even in what is expected to be a tune-up game for the Bulldogs, 43 points is going to be too big of a spread to cover for a team that has scored 41 or fewer points in 9 of its 10 games this season.
Over/Under
BET OVER 55.5 (-110).
Georgia has scored 30 or more points in 8 of its 10 games this season, including 6 of its last 7. In a game against a far weaker UMass program, the Bulldogs will carry a majority of the load, but expect UMass to tack on enough to hit the Over.
