The current betting odds have Texas listed as a 5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. Texas has looked really good in their games this season with their 6-0 record overall and their 2-0 conference record which has them right at the top of the SEC, ranked as one of the best in the nation too. They are also 4-0 in their home games this year and none of their games have really been close. They are coming off a big win over Oklahoma in the Red River Rivalry, beating them down 34-3, and they are going to have a ton of momentum on their side for this home game against another team that is ranked like one of the best in the nation. Meanwhile, Georgia has looked good in their games this season with their 5-1 record overall, but they are 3-1 in their conference games with a loss to Alabama on the road. They are also coming off a 41-31 win at home over Mississippi State which isn't great considering how Mississippi State has played this season. Georgia has been struggling more against SEC opponents this season and this is a big moment for Texas to finally prove that they truly are the best team in the land. Texas hasn't really been tested like Georgia with their schedule, but they have faced some good defenses and have still had no problem putting up points in those games. Texas will bring their best effort for this game at home and this is their chance to finally make the statement they have been wanting to make. The best way to place a bet here is on Texas to cover the spread in this game.
