Sports Betting – Big Loss for Georgia as Green Will Miss Three More Games. You want to be very careful about taking Georgia against the sports betting odds the next few weeks.They are going to be without their star wide receiver A.J. Green who has been declared ineligible for three more games for NCAA violations. The Bulldogs didn’t need him last week as they rolled over Louisiana-Lafayette against the sports betting online numbers but they are going to miss him in the next three games.
Green’s Four Game Penalty – Green was suspended for four games and since he sat out last week’s game he will miss Georgia’s next three games. The suspension came because Green sold his jersey that he wore in the Independence Bowl. Green has since repaid the money by giving $1,000 to charity and he fully cooperated with the NCAA. Georgia is going to appeal but they are unlikely to win. This is just another incident of a player doing something that got him into trouble, with the NCAA. It seems like this has been happening every week this season.
The Best Receiver in College Football – You can make a case that Green is the best wide receiver in all of college football. He had 53 catches for 808 yards and six touchdowns last year and he didn’t even play every game. He has been ranked as the fourth overall prospect available in next year’s NFL Draft which is high praise.
Georgia’s Next Three Games – What we need to look at are Georgia’s next three games. They are at South Carolina this week and then they face Arkansas and Mississippi State. The Bulldogs can win at South Carolina this week against the sports betting line but it won’t be easy. Supposedly this is Steve Spurrier’s best South Carolina squad and they looked very good last week. The loss of Green really hurts because he is a game-changer. Even if the Bulldogs get past South Carolina they are really going to miss Green next week. Arkansas can score so the Bulldogs will need to keep pace and without Green it doesn’t look good in what could be a high scoring game. Georgia should beat Mississippi State although covering the spread at Sbg global won’t be as easy without Green in the lineup.
