The No. 12 Missouri Tigers have a chance to cement themselves in the College Football Playoff picture this weekend in a SEC on CBS matchup against No. 2 Georgia. Missouri (7-1) already has its most wins since the 2018 season and has been one of college football's best turnarounds this season after back-to-back 6-7 campaigns. The Tigers are 3-1 in the SEC and second in the SEC East behind Georgia (8-0, 5-0). Can the Tigers shock Georgia this weekend and snap their 25-game winning streak?

The Saturday matchup is scheduled to kick off at 3:30 p.m. from Sanford Stadium in Athens, Ga. The Bulldogs are 14.5-point favorites in the latest Georgia vs. Missouri odds from the SportsLine consensus. The over/under for total points is 55.5.

Why Georgia can cover

The Bulldogs have one of the best all-around defenses in college football, ranking in the top 15 in scoring, total yards allowed as well as both passing and rushing yards allowed per game this season. Georgia hasn't allowed more than 21 points in a game this year. The two-time defending champions have the offense to match that success as Georgia has the best point differential (+206) in the SEC, which is tied for the second-best in the country.

As if Georgia needed any more motivation other than trying to become the first school since Minnesota from 1934-36 to win three straight national championships, the College Football Playoff selection committee may have given it to the Bulldogs. Georgia is the top-ranked team in the AP poll but was placed No. 2 behind Ohio State in the first College Football Playoff Rankings. Georgia has covered the spread in two of its last three games and is 11-1 all-time against Missouri. The Bulldogs have won by an average of 25.8 points in their last four matchups against Missouri. Georgia could view this as a statement gain to move back to No. 1. See picks at SportsLine. 

Why Missouri can cover

The Tigers nearly pulled off the shocking upset over Georgia last season. Missouri scored the game's first 13 points and held a 22-12 lead early in the fourth quarter. But the Bulldogs scored back-to-back touchdowns before running down the clock in their final possession to escape with a 26-22 win. Missouri returns key pieces from last year's squad, including quarterback Brady Cook and leading rusher Cody Schrader.

Cook is 15th in college football in passing yards (2,259) with four games of at least 340 yards. Schrader is tied for the most rushing touchdowns (nine) in the SEC and second in the conference in rushing yards (807). Schrader is coming off rushing for 159 yards and two touchdowns in his last game against South Carolina. He will be one of the tougher running backs Georgia has faced this season. Missouri, coming off a bye week, is a better team than the one that nearly upset the Bulldogs last season and could certainly keep this game within two scores and cover the spread. See picks at SportsLine.
