Georgia football will be a heavy favorite as it looks to bounce back from a loss at 3:30 p.m. on Saturday when it faces rival Auburn between the hedges.
The Bulldogs are a 20-point favorite over the reeling Tigers, who have two SEC homes losses this season (Arkansas 24-14; Oklahoma 27-21).
Georgia has won seven straight in the “Deep South’s Oldest Rivalry,” including last season’s game by a 27-20 count in what served as Carson Beck’s first road start.
Beck suffered his first loss in an opponents’ stadium in Tuscaloosa despite throwing for a career-high 439 yards on 27-of-50 passing with three touchdowns and three interceptions.
Auburn’s quarterback situation is also of note under second-year coach Hugh Freeze, whose popularity rating is waning.
The Tigers dropped their game against the Sooners when Auburn veteran quarterback Payton Thorne threw a late pick-six.
The Tigers lost despite achieving 26 first downs to Oklahoma’s 11, and out-gaining the Sooners 482 yards to 291 yards.
