No. 1 Georgia (-14.5) @ Auburn – O/U 46.5

Evan Ertel: Throttling on deck here. I think Kirby has the boys firing on all cylinders this weekend on the road to really remind everyone who the reigning champs are. Hugh Freeze is way over his head in this “rivalry” as he preaches Everybody Love Everybody. Georgia -14.5

Ryan Strickland: Georgia is just too talented and too good to not cover this spread against a very below-average Auburn team. Auburn’s offense is putrid and should not be able to move the ball at all against Georgia. Georgia -14.5

Justin Strawn: Georgia is one of the best and most talented teams in the country and Auburn isn’t. Georgia -14.5

Ethan Lee: Georgia. I don’t know how you pick against them. Hugh Freeze has been talking about how Auburn should compete out of love and not hate and he’s also been pretty open about how the Tigers need to improve their roster. There’s just too much of a talent disparity here. Georgia wins and should cover. Georgia -14.5

Andrew Miller: This one will get too much hype with media convincing people anything can happen. No. UGA kills them. Georgia -14.5

John King: Georgia hasn’t lost to Auburn since the 2017 regular season, and has won by less than 17 against them only once in that same span. I expect that trend to continue, with Georgia -14.5.
