ATHENS — Georgia has protected its home turf like few others under Kirby Smart, and the oddsmakers have taken notice.

Time to make some money.
OK the Kentucky RB is a real hoss. He’s gonna be really tough to tackle. But at least this is a more conventional type of O for the Dawgs to face.
With Auburn you had not one but Two QBs who could run really well and throw pretty decent. And they were changing them in and out so much it made it harder to defend.
With Kentucky our Dawgs can primarily focus on one thing and that’s Stop Davis. Yes I Know that one thing is a pretty tough thing, but he’s the bread & butter of their O.
Kentucky is also bringing what appears to be a pretty good defense. But they haven’t been tested by the more experienced version of an Already Great Brock Bowers !! I Believe our Offense is Much better than that of UF.
Last but Certainly not least is the UGA Home Crowd !! They Will be rocking Sanford Stadium !! This will be Another tough game, but a Winnable one for our Dawgs. Go Dawgs !!
I hate to say it but take Kentucky and the points. The Dawgs haven't covered the spread yet this season and Kentucky will be their toughest challenge yet. I hope they cover with room to spare but that won't happen unless they play at an elite level, something they have yet to do this season.
I’d Dearly Love to see our Dawgs cover At Least 14 points over Kentucky. They Can but not sure if they Will. Over 14 points the experts are sayin ?? Hmmm either not much faith in Kentucky or Allot of faith in our Dawgs. Playing them at night in Athens helps Big Time !! I trust Kirby our Dawgs will get it done. Score I don’t know. Go Dawgs !!
I agree and haven’t researched but the dawgs seem to have great success with noon kickoffs.
Agree on the noon games. But for some strange at least to Me we don’t have many night games. So UGA will get to show off the multimillion $$$ light system they installed a couple years back and I think our Home Crowd will go absolutely bonkers !!! Our Dawgs will feed on that energy and I think, Hope, play harder vs Kentucky. Should be an exciting and challenging game. In the end I think our Dawgs prevail. I’m just not so sure if by a 14+ points margin. Sure would be Great if that does happen though !!
Kentucky had no significant games before their FL win. However, their QB looked very capable, the offensive line and running game more than capable. Their defense impressed me most with very large front four with the athleticism we appreciated at UGA in 2021 and 2022. They were quite quick on the edge and tackled extremely well. I know I'll get a lot of vote downs for this one, but unless we play our very best with much better defensive execution, this could have an unpleasant outcome for us. I hope not.
KY beat the Gators down. It was epic. THeir Rb had arond 300 yards rushing. THat's unheard of today.
Kentucky and Georgia have played a common opponent - Ball state. Almost the same score. To say that UGA is 2 TDs better is ridiculous. The dogs need to stack the box and force them to throw. Base defense at Auburn nearly lost the game. I thought Kirby had more brains than that.
Both teams will focus on stopping the run. We've definitely got the advantage at QB and in the passing game. IF we can tighten up, protect the edges, and stuff or at least slow down their run game then Dawgs will prevail. Hopefully, this recent lackluster defensive performance will motivate these players at home! Expecting a brutal week of practice for the defense. Gotta get back to fundamentals.
GO DAWGS!!
15-point favorite, really?
If I were Kentucky I'd see that as disrespectful and do nothing but motivate the Wildcats more...
I hate to say it, but we'll be lucky if we only LOSE by 2 touch downs. This is the worst defense I have seen at UGA in the Kirby Smart Era. I agree they are trying hard, but they can't get off blocks, the whoever is containment on the edge is MIA. I have never seen a Smart defense miss tackles like this one.
