Banged-up Georgia a massive favorite over struggling Auburn; Alabama expected to roll over Texas A&M
Georgia football might have slipped a spot in the polls, but the Bulldogs continue to command respect from the oddsmakers.

Time to step up Arik! It’s now or never
I have to laugh out loud!!!
You mean that same Auburn team that played those Missouri Tigers last week to a 14-14 tie at the end of regulation play? That Auburn team that then beat Mizzou by 3 pts in overtime?
Why in the world are we favored so heavily over THAT Auburn team after the egg we laid yesterday against those same Missouri Tigers?
I didn’t like the block on Carter that injured him and I hate to accuse someone of playing dirty to intentionally try and injure another player but on that play yesterday, I fully believe that was the Missouri players intention. Here is why I believe that, when he went down to block low, he reached out to grab Jalens ankle as he was hitting him in the side of the knee. There is no doubt in my mind what took place there. Jalen was involved in some heated jawing back and forth with some of the Missouri players in pre-game warmups and I think that motivated the cheap dirty shot! JMO!
Kirby let the offense go up tempo. They play a lot crisp when they do. Stetson and the offense get in a rhythm when going hurry up.
The offense really needs AD Mitchell back. It has not been the same since he went down with the ankle.
Couldn't care less what the odds makers say... Georgia will no doubt get Auburn's best game. And btw, their personnel aren't too shabby over there. Ditto the next game after that. And the next game after that. Better get used to the shock and disappointment, if that's what happens when the SEC bottom dwellers play our much higher ranked dawgs tooth and nail with their best possible effort, their desperate coaching, and cast of capable blue-chip players (some of whom we recruited). Again, as long as Georgia wins, by even the smallest of margins, I simply don't care what was predicted or should have happened. Go Dawgs!
Injuries are part of the game...next man up. Offense may need to carry the defense this year and return the favor from last year. But in order to do that we've GOT to start gelling consistently on offense. Red zone offense has GOT to drastically improve. O-line needs to improve. Run game needs to improve. Stet needs to play much better than yesterday.
We've now got the #8, #13, and #23 ranked teams on our November schedule. We'll really see what these Dawgs are made of then.
This was a ridiculous game! What the heck? What makes matters worse is that this had happened two weeks in a row! We got a guy (Gilbert) disappearing again (personal reasons), a guy with a DUI and a team that looks lost out there for the 2nd week in a row. The first game was playing the sisters of the poor. Yesterday, we played a team that is an SEC bottom feeder. Yet, you would have thought we were playing BAMA the way they kicked us up and down the field. We had offensive linemen standing and allowing the defense to blow right on past them (Ratlidge and Jones). Meanwhile, our center is getting whipped by the lineman across from him. What gives? Is this the best team in the land or not?? Kirby opened his mouth a few weeks ago and declared that the dawgs had not been challenged yet, well - two weeks in a row the challenge has come and the team has stumbled to a win both times. Have they seen enough? When will the challenge become a loss?? Stetson was back to his old ways - looking confused, fumbling, throwing interceptions, over throwing, under throwing...Dang! Then, people give him a slap on the back like the 1st 3qtrs never happened - all because he finally strung together 2 TD drives in the 11th hour of the game! He needs a good kick in the pants for what he didn't do in the 1st 3qtrs of the game. Monken's play calling was suspect - AT BEST! I think he look a nap for much of the game and woke up in the last qtr. Even Kirby is not looking as upset as he should be considering his presumed hopes and dreams of a repeat championship seem to be crumbling right before his eyes. Something is not right in Athens and they better wake up and smell what other teams got cookin' or they will be a collective "one and done" with their only championship in 40+ years. We have Auburn this week, who, for the most part has stunk it up this year and have two losses. How about Georgia get some things going this week and whip this team instead dropping again in the polls next week behind Ohio State?? That would be a great start...Come on guys! Act like you want this or something....
Yeah, up tempo. That might scuttle Auburn. Could be a factor. Teams are catching on to the TE pool UGA possesses. The run game picked up nicely late against Mizzou. Even earlier. K-Mac ran strong. Keep heavy on the pedal with RPO as well. Strike fast and hard. Don't let Auburn get set. Hopefully AD Mitchell will suit up this game. UGA needs to become the hunter again. No more fumbles! UGA is better than portrayed. OL tighten up. Get physical. Smack some boys around. Let them know they have been in a real Dawg fight! Let's go!
Let’s see. 25 point favorite over MO. Final score: 26-22 which was made possible by true freshman safety tackling ball accrued at 1 yard line on what looked like a sure 68 yard TD scamper. Whew! Thank you Starks!
Now 28 point favorite over Auburn. Will another miracle save be required? Heck, even I’m considering taking Auburn and those 28 points. Of course, that would guarantee a 40 point beat down. 😂
Throw more to Darnell, Dom, and Kearis. All three made nice catches and are a load to tackle. Bench McConkey. He seems to be a head case when it comes to catching the ball the last two games. Continue to use Bowers of course. Rosemy-Jacksaint and Morrisette (sp) ain’t bad either. Smith on the comeback as well. We’re more than okay at receiver. Of course, it will be nice to get Mitchell back, but in the meantime make better use of the weapons we have. And PLEASE stop making excuses! We’re starting to sound like the Bama crowd when they lost the natty only because a receiver got hurt.
