Georgia is home and supremely motivated, sitting in first place in the SEC with a 5-1 record and in control to make it to the SEC title game if they keep winning. This is a talented, balanced Bulldogs offense and they face an Auburn defense that has struggled all season. Auburn has faced five talented offenses and struggled badly against four of them. They gave up 38 points to Utah State, a game they were lucky to win late, and got pushed around badly on both sides of the ball. They gave up 38 points to Clemson, 38 to Arkansas and 45 points to LSU - all one-sided defeats. This is a one-dimensional Auburn offense (No. 30 in the nation in rushing) and faces a strong Georgia defense, one allowing 19.9 ppg (No. 23 in the country). Georgia opened the season with two straight losses, but has won seven in a row. They have a fine offense, averaging 34.8 points, 253 yards passing and 175 yards rushing behind sophomore Aaron Murray (23 TDs, 8 INTs) and talented freshman RB Isaiah Crowell. Georgia has used a no-huddle offense and three and four receiver sets, trying to be more up-tempo this season and its paying dividends, especially down the stretch. The heat was on Mark Richt before the season started, so he won't take his foot off the gas and the Bulldogs are 4-0 ATS in their last four games as a home favorite. Play on Georgia.
