00:00We start with the Bulldog. Because Kev, it's the Deep South's oldest rivalry. The 129th

00:10all-time meeting between UGA and Auburn. It is the second most played FBS rivalry in the

00:16history of the sport, only behind Wisconsin and Minnesota in the Battle of the Aps. Georgia

00:22has won seven in a row, only two of the seven decided by a single touchdown. We are expecting

00:28more of the same today in Athens between the hedges. 22 and a half points spread in favor

00:34of the Dogs. What resilience do you think we see out of UGA today? So look, I mean Georgia

00:39is going to win this football game. I think we kind of all know that. Auburn has not shown

00:42enough metal to suggest that they're going to be able to put the Dogs on upset alert.

00:46I do think it's very interesting though. A lot of people right now are willingly capping

00:50Georgia off a loss. You got to lock and load here. There's no Georgia off a loss. Sample

00:56size. Georgia off of a loss are SEC games, title games to Alabama. There's no way we

01:04can use last year's SEC title game loss to Alabama, translate to what they did to Florida

01:08State and be like, see that's what they're going to do in this game here. I think you

01:11have to be very, very cautious assuming that. For me, I love under 52 in this matchup. This

01:17is the total last week. This is higher than the total last week of the best bet over I

01:20had in the Bama game. I understand that you can say Auburn's defense isn't as good. Auburn's

01:25offense is not even in the same planet of what the Crimson Tide were entering that game

01:30with off of a buy. Don't forget Georgia's defense completely buckled down in the second

01:35half. You want to trend the last time this team gave up over 30 points, 40 points was

01:40Ohio State in the semis. Then in the title game, they held TCU to seven. I know they

01:44scored 65. That offense got the loud out on that field. I think this is a slower game.

01:49I think you're talking a final score around 34, 731, seven. I love the under here. I'll

01:54be stunned if you see more than 10 points scored by the Auburn Tigers.

01:58It kind of brings up great points. From the series perspective, Georgia has won seven

02:02straight guys. They've won the last four in regards to the series by an average margin

02:07of 21 points per game. This game last year was a seven point game. They had them on the

02:12ropes. That was the Brock Bowers final drive. He finished that game seven receptions, a

02:16buck 52. Carson Beck did throw for over 300 in regards to that matchup. This game and

02:22Kevin's right. We don't have a sample size for, for Georgia coming off a loss. It's more

02:28about Auburn for me. They've lost two straight. This team is reeling how they've lost now

02:33at home to Arkansas booked as a favorite to last week, Oklahoma five wide receivers out.

02:40They have Oklahoma and Hawkins dead and buried. Peyton Thorne throws the pick six. Kevin knows

02:45I was on the over happy about that. But I mean, you know, Hugh freeze calling out players,

02:51the media, this looks like another situation of Brian Harson or another just situation

02:56that could be a bonfire. I mean, I want no part of Auburn. Here's the other factor, Ben

03:01minus 11 and turnover margin. Yeah, I you cannot cover games when you're committing

03:06turnovers and not forcing that. I don't know what the mindset of Auburn is, even though

03:11it's a rivalry game. I have to think that that mindset in the second half of the Georgia

03:16defense carries through. And we look to now Carson Beck, but more importantly, maybe Oscar

03:21Delpan those tight ends the way they ate last year. Auburn led 21 to 10 last week against

03:26Oklahoma with less than 12 minutes remaining in regulation. They then missed a field goal

03:31and Peyton Thorne who was supposed to be the veteran through a pick six they out gained

03:36Oklahoma 482 yards to only 291 and still found a way to cough up that football game the Tigers

03:45this year two and three both straight up and against the spread Georgia Owen to against

03:51the number and sec play Georgia in the previous three seasons had been really good covering

03:56numbers in conference action 16 and 12 ATS favored in all 28 to your point there is no

04:03sample size Georgia off a loss especially in the regular season since 2020 they had

04:0942 consecutive regular season games before last week in Tuscaloosa and Carson Beck was good in

04:16the fourth quarter in that second half 439 yards three touchdowns albeit three interceptions so

04:24quickly here calf let's look at Georgia's national championship movement we knew there was going to

04:29be odds implication based on the matchup in Tuscaloosa last week the price has doubled on

04:35UGA to win the SEC because of a conference loss but there's still a minus 280 favorite to reach

04:41the college football playoff it's plus 550 to win the national championship but still the fourth

04:46best number in the country yeah I bet them in the middle of that game at plus 900 to win the

04:50national championship obviously ecstatic to see that that number is dropped even though they lost

04:56the game they actually went back to national title favorites when they took that lead in the fourth

05:01quarter it's incredible again the blows that were traded there but there's no panic for me on on

05:07Georgia yes there's a tough schedule remaining but so far this Georgia season is going the way

05:13every Georgia season goes they beat everybody not named Alabama you know Kirby has the one win

05:18against Alabama which is a national championship you can't take that away from him he's also one

05:23and nine against the Crimson Tide they completely own him despite you know the the chest puffing

05:28out and tough talk Ben so I think UGA nine to one obviously a great number I think you can still

05:33get it at these 550s and six to ones if you can find good numbers because to me still power rating

05:39I think they're best team in college football
