Game card: Missouri

Opponent:  Missouri
Record:  8-20 (2-13)
Best player:  Johnathan Williams III
Line:  Georgia -14

Why Georgia will win:  Missouri's record is pretty reflective of their talent level.  They just aren't very good.  Only two players average double-figure scoring, and they've yet to win a true road game.  There's no stat to point to that says Georgia shouldn't win this game.

Why Georgia will lose:  Missouri is coming off a win against an undermanned Florida team, and they have nothing to lose, so expect them to come out firing.  Namon Wright hit 6 3-pointers against Florida and should be playing with confidence.  Then there's Georgia.  Are they looking ahead to Kentucky?  Are they feeling a little too good about the win over Ole Miss?

What I think will happen:  Do we finally get to enjoy a blowout in conference play?  Not really.  Nothing is that easy with this team.  Georgia wins, though, 72-59.
