This week’s edition of Go With The Flow informs bettors what they should know about Georgia as a 36-point favorite at Vanderbilt.
3 things to know before betting UGA as a 36-point favorite at Vanderbilt
UGA is 2-7 against the spread as a 30 or more point favorite under Kirby Smart.
The Bulldogs failed to cover a 30-plus point spread in last week’s win vs. South Carolina, and have generally found lines that large challenging during the Smart Era. Saturday marks just the third time under Smart in which UGA is favored by 30 or more in SEC play.
UGA has covered the spread in seven of its last nine games as a road favorite.
UGA will play its first true road game Saturday, but the Bulldogs finished the 2020 season with wins against the spread at South Carolina and Missouri, and have been mostly a strong play in that scenario in recent seasons.
Vanderbilt is 2-13 against the spread in its last 15 games as a home underdog.
Other than an outright win as a 21.5-point “dog” vs. Missouri in 2019, the Commodores haven’t fared well when getting points at home of late. However, the Commodores did cover at home in their last instance as a 30-plus point underdog in a 38-17 loss to Florida last season.
