Undefeated SEC teams will meet up in one of the biggest games on the Week 5 college football schedule as No. 8 Arkansas travels to No. 2 Georgia on Saturday. Both teams enter this matchup with 4-0 records, but the oddsmakers view the Bulldogs as the clear favorites. Both sides have injury concerns at quarterback. K.J. Jefferson is expected to play through a knee injury for Arkansas. Georgia quarterback JT Daniels (lat) could be a game-time decision. 

Kickoff is set for noon ET. The latest Georgia vs. Arkansas odds from Caesars Sportsbook list the Bulldogs as 16.5-point favorites, down 1.5 points from the opening line. The over-under for total points is set at 48.5.

  • Arkansas vs. Georgia money line: Georgia -900, Arkansas +600

Why Arkansas can cover

The Razorbacks were one of last year's most successful teams against the spread. They finished their last campaign 7-3 against the spread and are off to a strong start in 2021. Arkansas is 4-0 against the spread this year and has won every game by double digits. The visitors have been especially impressive on the road as of late, and the job will be a little easier if Daniels is out or limited.

Arkansas is 5-0 in its previous five road underdog games against teams with winning records. Georgia struggled against the only ranked opponent it has faced this year and only managed to score 10 points against Clemson, a team that hasn't looked great since that point. A slow start could make it difficult for the Bulldogs to win by double-digits against the Razorbacks.

Why Georgia can cover

The Bulldogs are 3-1 against the spread this year. They've crushed opposing teams by an average of 36.25 points, despite only beating Clemson by seven in their season opener. No team has come close to challenging Georgia since then. Arkansas has the talent to challenge the favorites, but with Jefferson possibly operating at less than 100 percent, that could be a challenge.

Georgia has amassed 15 sacks this year seems likely to get after the Arkansas signal-caller. No other Razorbacks quarterback has thrown more than four passes this season. If Jefferson is limited at all, the Bulldogs could have a significant edge. The Bulldogs also have a veteran backup quarterback in Stetson Bennett, so they are better positioned to handle the QB injuries.
