Transcript

00:02 >> A couple other good quarterbacks here gonna line it up in the SEC at the CBS
00:06 330 Eastern game, Missouri and Georgia.
00:09 Line opened up at 17 and a half as a favorite for the Bulldogs.
00:12 Now we're seeing that down to 15 and a half, a total listed at 55 and a half.
00:17 Missouri, not a team to be taken lightly here,
00:19 getting more than two touchdowns between the hedges.
00:22 What's gonna happen in this game on Saturday, Ben?
00:24 >> Yeah, Donnie, Georgia has struggled to cover numbers this year,
00:28 except in the two most important games so far on their schedule, Kentucky and Florida.
00:34 Kentucky was between the hedges, Florida, of course, a neutral site game in
00:39 Jacksonville, the Dogs were a 14 and a half point favorite in both of those.
00:43 They covered easily, winning both by at least 23 points, nearly beat Kentucky by 40.
00:49 Missouri has one of my favorite quarterbacks in the SEC, in Brady Cook.
00:54 But I believe his passing yards, Prop Donnie, is a little bit too high.
00:57 Georgia allows less than 180 yards through the air.
01:01 I like Graham Mertz to throw for over 200 last week, and he did, but
01:06 it was not easy averaging just about six yards per attempt,
01:09 throwing the ball north of 30 times, and he was efficient, 24 of 33.
01:15 Now, Brady Cook has one of the best wide receivers in football for
01:18 Mizzou in Luther Burden.
01:20 But I think the advantages are still with Georgia,
01:23 neutralizing that Missouri offensive attack, and over the past few weeks,
01:28 that Tigers defense has struggled to defend the run.
01:31 Sweet baby Ray Davis ran for more than 120 yards against Mizzou.
01:35 Logan Diggs put up a big game for
01:38 LSU against the Tigers in Columbia as well.
01:41 Dejon Edwards, I think, finds success on the ground, the lead back for Georgia.
01:46 His prop's a little bit too high at 90 and a half.
01:49 But for all the reasons I like Brady Cook, Donnie, you gotta look at Carson Beck.
01:54 He has thrown for 300 passing yards in four of the last five for Georgia.
01:59 And Lad McConkie is back.
02:01 Lad McConkie had a big game last week in Jacksonville against the Gators.
02:05 His prop, 60 and a half, I think he goes over that number.
02:10 I'm not sure how I feel against the spread.
02:12 I would probably lean with Georgia, winning this game by about 17 points or so.
02:17 But I like the prop market offensively, not so much for Mizzou.
02:21 On the other side, Carson Beck, his passing yards prop.
02:24 We're looking at his main target now in the absence of Brock Bowers,
02:27 Lad McConkie.
