Odds, picks, best bet for SEC clash
The Auburn Tigers are in an interesting spot.
At first glance, you’d say a 3-2 record is a little unsettling for the Tigers, who came into the college football season with heightened expectations after a couple of down years.

But if you dig a little deeper, it’s hard to really find too much fault with how Auburn has played.
The Tigers’ two losses came on the road against No. 6 Oklahoma and No. 5 Texas A&M, and both defeats were of the one-score variety.
Things don’t get any easier for War Eagle, which hosts No. 10 Georgia in a must-win spot for both teams.
Georgia vs. Auburn odds, prediction
As hard as it is to tell just how good (or bad) Auburn is because of its brutal schedule — don’t forget the Tigers beat Baylor on the road in Week 1 — the same can be said of Georgia.
The Bulldogs are 4-1, with their lone loss coming at home against Alabama, but they also had a messy 44-41 win over Tennessee, which felt uncharacteristic of Kirby Smart’s teams.
Throw in some ho-hum wins over Marshall, Austin Peay and Kentucky, and you’ve got this weird run of results that really raise more questions than answers.
What’s even more confounding is that Georgia’s defense has been the culprit of its less-than-inspiring start to the season.
Betting on College Football?
The Bulldogs are allowing 21.5 points per game (35th) and rank 45th in yards per play allowed (5.2).
Auburn’s offense isn’t anything to write home about through the first five games, and part of that is down to the quality of opposition they’ve faced, but they should have some success against Georgia’s middling (at least relative to their expectations) defense.
On the flip side, you can expect Auburn’s defense to hold its end of the bargain. The Tigers allowed a respectable 40 combined points to Oklahoma and Texas A&M on the road, so they should set up well against a Georgia attack that has had moments, good and bad, this season.
Much like the setup in Florida vs. Texas last week, this looks like a clash between a vulnerable favorite and a desperate underdog.
This could be an upset spot on Saturday night.
