Bettors who shied away from Georgia after they lost star running back Todd Gurley to suspension over the weekend got burned big time, as the Bulldogs routed Missouri 34-0 to easily cover the 3-point spread at the online sportsbooks.
Georgia Tech, meanwhile was one of several ranked teams to get tagged with a loss in Week 7 as they fell 31-25 to unranked Duke as a 3-point favorite to spoil their perfect season. Arizona also fell to a team outside the rankings, losing 28-26 to USC as a 2.5-point underdog.
