The No. 2 Georgia Bulldogs hope to continue their recent dominance in the Deep South's Oldest Rivalry when they host the Auburn Tigers in an SEC matchup on Saturday. Georgia (5-0, 2-0 SEC) has won 16 of its last 21 overall meetings with Auburn and seven straight at home. The Bulldogs posted a 34-10 road victory last season to extend their winning streak in the series to five games. The Tigers (3-2, 1-1) hit the road for the first time in 2022 after ending their string of five consecutive home contests to start the season with a 21-17 loss against LSU last Saturday.

Kickoff at Sanford Stadium in Athens, Ga. is set for 3:30 p.m. ET on CBS. The Bulldogs are 28-point favorites in the latest Georgia vs. Auburn odds from Caesars Sportsbook, while the over/under for total points scored is 49.5.

Why Georgia can cover

After needing to rally from a 10-point deficit in the fourth quarter to post a 26-22 win at Missouri last week, the Bulldogs will be eager to assert themselves against their long-time rivals. Georgia has produced at least 33 points four times while outscoring its opponents 195-54 this season. The team has yielded 22 points in each of its last two contests but ranks fourth in the nation with an average of 10.8 allowed.

The Bulldogs are fifth in the country in total offense, gaining 521.4 yards per game, and rank eighth in passing with an average of 342.8 yards. Senior quarterback Stetson Bennett is coming off his third 300-yard performance of the year (312 against Missouri) and is 11th nationally with 1,536 yards through the air. Bennett also has been an effective part of Georgia's ground attack as he is tied with junior running back Kendall Milton for the team lead with four rushing touchdowns.

Why Auburn can cover 

Even though they've lost their last seven visits, the Tigers own an 18-16 all-time record at Athens. They hope to start this matchup the same way they did against LSU last week, when they built a 17-0 lead before allowing 21 unanswered points. Freshman quarterback Robby Ashford was impressive in his second career start, throwing for 337 yards and a pair of touchdowns.

Ashford completed only one of his first three pass attempts before hitting Ja'Varrius Johnson for a 53-yard TD just 2:03 into the contest. A junior wideout, Johnson leads Auburn with 16 catches and 305 receiving yards, gaining at least 73 in three of his four outings. Junior Tank Bigsby is the Tigers' leading rusher with 326 yards and is tied with sophomore Jarquez Hunter for first with four touchdowns on the ground.
