The SEC Championship is set to take place on Saturday as the LSU Tigers will take on the Georgia Bulldogs. If Georgia was to win this game, they will 100% be in the college football playoffs and will likely have the #1 seed in America.
They already sit as the #1 team in the country, so a win here should solidify that. Although the LSU Tigers are the #11 ranked team, they do have three losses on the year.
There is a good chance that they could possibly even sneak into the college football playoffs if things do go their way. This has been one of the top college football teams this season.
Let’s break it down with our LSU vs. Georgia betting picks and predictions.
LSU Tigers vs. Georgia Bulldogs
Matchup Info

Georgia Bulldogs Performance Recap and Analysis
There’s not much more to say about the Georgia Bulldogs. There’s a reason why this team has continued to climb the NCAAF standings throughout the entire year, and they deserve to be the #1 team in America. They have wins on the season against Tennessee, Mississippi State, Auburn, South Carolina, Oregon, and Kentucky.
The reason why this team succeeds at a high level is because their defense is arguably the best that we’ve ever seen in college football. Although we said similar things a season ago because of how great they were defensively, it truly is the case as this team does everything that they possibly can on that side of the football.
Georgia Bulldogs is one of those old-fashioned hard-nosed football teams that is going to wear a team out. They’re going to do whatever they possibly can on the defensive side of the football to get going, and that’s typically going to find them success, as we’ve seen throughout the past few years.
Quarterback Stetson Bennett has also been a problem on the offensive side of the football this season, as there’s a good argument to be made that he should even be the Heisman Trophy winner. He’s thrown for 3,151 yards, 16 touchdowns, and has a top 7 QBR in America.
Key Injuries
At the moment, the college football injury report is clean. This is important to continue checking throughout the week as this game can go either way. We want to make sure that we have the best possible analysis for our LSU vs Georgia betting picks and predictions.
Betting Trends to Know
Despite being 6-0 this season, Georgia is just a .500 team against the spread as they’re currently 6-6. When they are favored by 20 points or more, Georgia is 3-0 ATS.
LSU Tigers Recap and Analysis
The LSU Tigers also do deserve some respect. This team comes into this one playing some impressive football throughout the year, and there’s a good argument to be made that if they didn’t have that slow start, they would probably be in the college football playoff picture right now.
They come into this one after losing games against Florida State, Tennessee, and Texas A&M. Their most recent loss against Texas A&M last Saturday was the reason why this team doesn’t find themselves within the top 7 in the country.
They weren’t able to get enough going on the defensive side of the football, and it was a major cause for concern. Their loss against Texas A&M is not going to set them up for the success that they’re looking for in this game against Georgia.
However, we also have to realize that they’ve beaten teams like Alabama, Arkansas, Ole Miss, and Florida throughout the year. Those wins are impressive in themselves and deserved to be talked about more than the losses.
When LSU is at its best, its offense is playing at an elite level. They’re going to have to come out and do everything that they possibly can on the offensive side of the football if they want to win this game against the best defense in America.
Key Injuries
LSU also doesn’t have any new injury report updates for this game. However, as we said before, these are huge for our LSU vs Georgia betting picks and predictions, so we have to make sure that we check the report before the game starts.
Betting Trends to Know
LSU was 3-1 straight up and 3-1 against the spread as an underdog to season them. The one loss came against Tennessee in a 40-13 blowout.
