The No. 5 Georgia Bulldogs and the Auburn Tigers are set to square off in an SEC battle on Saturday at Sanford Stadium. Georgia is 3-1 overall and 1-0 at home, while Auburn is 2-3 overall and hasn't played on the road yet. These teams have met a total of 128 times, dating back to 1892, and this matchup is referred to as "The Deep South's Oldest Rivalry." Both teams are looking to bounce back from heartbreaking losses last week as Georgia's huge comeback wasn't enough at Alabama and Auburn blew a late lead against Oklahoma. Georgia linebacker Smael Mondon Jr. has been ruled out, while defensive lineman Jordan Hall is questionable and defensive lineman Mykel Williams is probable. 

Kickoff is 3:30 p.m. ET. After opening at -27, the Bulldogs are now favored by 21.5 points in the latest Georgia vs. Auburn odds via SportsLine consensus, and the over/under is up to 51.5 points after opening at 49.5.

Why Georgia can cover

The Bulldogs ultimately fell short, but they can take a lot of positives from the Alabama game. The Bulldogs trailed 30-7 at the half and had a comeback so fierce that they retook the lead late before Alabama answered and came away with the win. 

Quarterback Carson Beck threw for 439 yards and three touchdowns, and if he can cut down on the mistakes (3 INTs last week), he'll give the Bulldogs a great chance to win big. The Bulldogs have failed to cover on the road the past two weeks, but a return home could be just what they need. They've won 26 straight at home, while Auburn has lost 14 straight road games vs. top-five opponents. Georgia has also won seven straight in this head-to-head series, and two of the last three have been by at least 24 points. See who to back at SportsLine

Why Auburn can cover

Auburn's performance was a bit of a reversal of Georgia's last week. The Tigers looked impressive early against Oklahoma and held a 21-10 lead in the fourth quarter before collapsing late. Oklahoma had an offensive touchdown, a defensive touchdown and a field goal in the fourth to complete the comeback. 

Quarterback Payton Thorne put forth a good effort for the losing side as he threw for 338 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 10.6 yards per attempt. His late interception cost the team, but Thorne did give the Tigers some stability of quarterback after a tough start by redshirt freshman Hank Brown the prior week. Cam Coleman continues to look like one of the more dynamic young receivers in the SEC and he had 82 yards receiving last week, highlighted by a 42-yard reception. See who to back at SportsLine.
