The current betting odds have Georgia listed as a 12 point underdog in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. Georgia is only 14-7 overall this season and they haven't been doing great in their road games either with a 1-5 road record. They are barely staying above .500 in the SEC with their 4-4 conference record but they just won their last game and despite their record this season, they have actually lost in a lot of close games against conference opponents as they have been playing better than their record suggests. Auburn has been a very good team this year with a 16-5 record overall and they have been great at home with their 10-1 home record. They have even been one of the better SEC teams with their 6-2 conference record, but they have lost 2 games in a row now as they have hit a bit of a slump and now is the time to catch them when they are not at their best in these games. Georgia has been playing well enough all year to lose a lot of close games so they will keep this a closer game too with Auburn not playing their best right now. The best way to place a bet here is on Georgia to cover the spread in this game.

“We’ve gotten better throughout the year. We still have room for improvement, obviously.” - Mike White on his team this season after their win against South Carolina in their last game.

"It was a disappointing loss. We battled back from being down 16 in the second half. But during the last four minutes, we didn't get the defensive stops that we had gotten throughout the second half. West Virginia only had four two-point field goals in the second half. I thought we did a really good job of guarding Erik Stevenson, but he was obviously at his best game tonight. He's always played well against us, and that is why we tried to recruit him.” - Bruce Pearl after his team’s loss against WVU in their last game.
