The Georgia Bulldogs are 12-1 SU and 6-7 ATS in their last 13 games played in the month of September. The Bulldogs open their conference schedule this Saturday at home against the Mississippi State Bulldogs.
While on the surface nothing really stands out in Georgia’s 42-14 win over Samford as 33-point favorites, it was another game’s worth of valuable experience for true freshman quarterback Jake Fromm. Fromm has passed for 449 yards and five touchdowns with one interception in three games since taking over under center for the injured Jacob Eason.
Mississippi State shook up the SEC’s power rankings with a 37-7 blowout win over LSU on Saturday as 7.5-point home underdogs. The Bulldogs improved to 3-0 SU and ATS on the season with the win and are now averaging 47.7 points per game on offense. The team is off to a great start, but back-to-back road games at Georgia and Auburn will test its mettle.
Georgia has won five of the last six games in this series. Mississippi State has held the edge against the spread, however, with a 3-1 ATS record in the last four meetings between these two teams.
