Georgia Football 2017 Preview: Missouri Tigers

Chances of a UGA win?

Missouri will be a tougher game then some may think in 2017. I certainly do not expect them to go 4-8 like they did in 2017. However, to me, this is still a team that is in transition and Georgia is fortunate enough to get them in Athens this year. While their offense is to be respected, I do believe that UGA’s defense will be better in 2017 than it was last year and I think they will be able to slow them down. Mizzou struggled when they played top defenses like Florida last year and I really do believe UGA can have one of those defenses this year. Slowing this team down would be a great statement for our defense going forward.

That means the game should be in the offenses hands. I feel pretty good about Georgia taking a step forward in this department in this season and I think Mizzou are vulnerable. Jacob Eason had a great game last year, but UGA lacked weapons and ran a very simple scheme with him being so young. They also lacked a solid OL and hopefully this will improve this year. All in all, there are plenty of reasons why this should end up being a solid win for the home team.

Penny Prediction: Georgia gets the win and goes to 6-1
