The Tigers dropped to 1-2 in the SEC following an ugly loss to No. 11 Florida, and are now looking to pick up the pieces when they travel to Athens for a showdown with the Georgia Bulldogs. The Bulldogs are also coming off a loss, which likely felt like a gutshot to their SEC East title aspirations.

Missouri, which is seventh worst in total offense among all FBS schools, failed to score in double digits for the second time this season, when it suffered a 21-3 loss to Florida on Saturday.<\/p>\n<p>The Gators are no joke on defense (16<sup>th<\/sup> in total defense in the nation), and Missouri visibly had a hard time punching holes through Florida\u2019s stop unit that let the Tigers generate just 257 total yards. Missouri\u2019s passing game was particularly problematic for the team, as backup quarterback Drew Lock took over the <a href=\"http:\/\/sports.yahoo.com\/blogs\/ncaaf-dr-saturday\/suspended-missouri-qb-maty-mauk-favorites-tweets-about-qb-situation-201012125.html\" target=\"_blank\">suspended Maty Mauk<\/a> and completed just 16 of 39 passes for 151 yards and no touchdowns while also throwing two interceptions. In addition, the Tigers went just 1 of 14 on third downs.<\/p>\n<p>It was a letdown performance for Lock, who, just a week before the Florida game, passed for 136 yards and two scores on an efficient 21 of 28 attempts in the Tigers\u2019 24-10 win over South Carolina. Up against Georgia\u2019s passing defense that allows 194.3 yards per game, Lock will be hard pressed anew to come up with a solid outing.<\/p>\n<p>A little help from Missouri\u2019s backfield should help take away some defensive pressure off Lock and receivers J\u2019mon Moore (205 receiving yards, two touchdowns) and Nate Brown (200 receiving yards, four touchdowns). Missouri is better at running the ball, as the Tigers average 194.3 rushing yards per game, second best in the SEC. Ish Witter and Russell Hansbrough tops the Tigers with 318 and 166 rushing yards, respectively.<\/p>\n<p>The under is 2-0 in Missouri\u2019s last two games.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Join Top Bet sportsbook\" href=\"http:\/\/record.tbaffiliate.com\/_y8k7RB3Ll4xutv7iXV6HvmNd7ZgqdRLk\/9\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"broken_link\" rel=\"nofollow\">Create a betting account now<\/a> and cash in on all the NCAAF action.<\/p>\n<h3>Betting on the Georgia Bulldogs (4-2)<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Sony-Michel.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-78618\" alt=\"Sony Michel\" src=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Sony-Michel.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"423\" srcset=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Sony-Michel.jpg 600w, http:\/\/topbet.eu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Sony-Michel-250x176.jpg 250w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>How will Georgia play without its best player? We\u2019re about to get a look at how that plays out for the Bulldogs, who won\u2019t have \u00a0Nick Chubb when they welcome Missouri in Athens, where Georgia is 4-1 SU and 3-2 ATS in its last five games.<\/p>\n<p>After going 4-0 in their first four games, the Bulldogs have now been hit with back-to-back losses to No. 13 Alabama and unranked Tennessee, respectively. The loss to the Vols was especially damning for Georgia, largely because that game saw the Bulldogs lose Heisman Trophy candidate Chubb to a gruesome knee injury.<\/p>\n<p>Chubb looks like he\u2019ll need at least several weeks to heal so it\u2019s now up to Sony Michel and Keith Marshall to fill in the void left by their star running back. Michel is second to Chubb in team carries (63), rushing yards (421), and touchdowns, while Marshall has 155 rushing yards and three touchdowns on 28 carries. \u00a0That said, Georgia would likely turn more to its passing game with Chubb on the sidelines. Quarterback Greyson Lambert, who passed for 279 yards and two touchdowns in Georgia\u2019s 38-31 loss to Tennessee, would have to complement the backfield with a solid outing. Missouri\u2019s a hard team to crack on defense, but the Tigers will have their hands full in trying to bottle up Lambert and company.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking of defense, Georgia is 43<sup>rd<\/sup> in the nation against the rush (137.5 rushing yards allowed per game) and 42<sup>nd<\/sup> against the pass (219.8 passing yards allowed per game).<\/p>\n<p>Georgia is 5-5 ATS in its last 10 games as the home team.<\/p>\n<h3>Writer\u2019s Prediction<\/h3>\n<p>Georgia (<strong><a href=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/sportsbook\/college-football\/ncaa\" target=\"_blank\">-16<\/a><\/strong>) wins, 31-24.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Join Top Bet sportsbook\" href=\"http:\/\/record.tbaffiliate.com\/_y8k7RB3Ll4xutv7iXV6HvmNd7ZgqdRLk\/6\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"broken_link\" rel=\"nofollow\">Create a betting account now<\/a> and build a winning college football parlay.<\/p>\n[sc:NCAA490banner ]\n<div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div>\n<p class=\"pvc_stats all \" data-element-id=\"78396\" style=\"\"><i class=\"pvc-stats-icon medium\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" data-prefix=\"far\" data-icon=\"chart-bar\" role=\"img\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 512 512\" class=\"svg-inline--fa fa-chart-bar fa-w-16 fa-2x\"><path fill=\"currentColor\" d=\"M396.8 352h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V108.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v230.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zm-192 0h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V140.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v198.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zm96 0h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V204.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v134.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zM496 400H48V80c0-8.84-7.16-16-16-16H16C7.16 64 0 71.16 0 80v336c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h464c8.84 0 16-7.16 16-16v-16c0-8.84-7.16-16-16-16zm-387.2-48h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8v-70.4c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v70.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8z\" class=\"\"><\/path><\/svg><\/i> &nbsp;2,650&nbsp;total views, &nbsp;1&nbsp;views today<\/p>\n<div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Conference play hasn\u2019t been easy for the Missouri Tigers thus far this season.
