What The Line Should Really Be On The Georgia Bulldogs vs. Auburn Tigers Week 6 Game
Georgia has a power rating of 95.40 coming into Week 6. Auburn has a power rating of 81.60 plus home field advantage. This gives us a line of UGA -11. The actual line was Bulldogs -16.5, suggesting a better than 5 point overlay.
Chris Law of ESPN says of Georgia:
"Whether it's Stetson Bennett at quarterback or JT Daniels at quarterback, Georgia just keeps rolling. And why not with a defense that has been an absolute brick wall this season? Bennett started in place of the injured Daniels, and Georgia built a 24-0 halftime lead Saturday and cruised to a 37-0 shutout of Arkansas. The running game did most of the damage for Georgia, which finished with 273 rushing yards. With a little more than two minutes left in the first quarter, Georgia had 21 points to Arkansas' 1 yard of total offense. Through five games, the Dawgs have yet to allow a touchdown in the first three quarters, and the only two fourth-quarter touchdowns they've given up have come long after the outcome has been decided."
Auburn's Bo Nix threw for 255 yards and rushed for 74 more as the Tigers came from behind to beat LSU 24-19.
"Tonight was a blast. I came in this week with a different mindset and just to be a competitor," Nix said. His starting job was on the line entering this game. "I just went back to what got me here. I didn't know how it was going to go, but I wanted to come in here focused and compete like crazy and do whatever it took."
Auburn (4-1, 1-0 Southeastern Conference), which had not won at LSU's Tiger Stadium since 1999, secured the victory when Bydarrius Knighten intercepted Max Johnson's fourth-down pass at the Auburn 39 with 1:09 left.
