- Spread: +46
- BetMGM Moneyline: (+2500)
- Over/Under: 62.5
This Saturday’s game will not be a pleasant one for the Golden Flashes, despite coming off a win. Their first two losses came to teams ranked in the Power 5 of their respective conferences, and now they must face the number one team in the nation.
While Kent State’s offense did feast against Long Island, the odds of them repeating those 556 total yards are absolutely nil. Quarterbacks Colin Schlee and Devin Kargman split three TDs through the air against LIU, but the highlight of the night came on the ground, where they totaled 353 yards and five touchdowns.
The defense also had a good night, but overall, taking into account the games against Oklahoma and Washington, the secondary concedes more than 300 yards through the air. Something they can’t afford to do against a Georgia quarterback who has yet to throw an interception this season.
Betting on the Georgia Bulldogs
- Regular Season Record: 3-0
- Unibet Spread: -46
- Moneyline: (-10000)
- Over/Under: 62.5
The Bulldogs will be looking to start the season with a 4-0 record for the fourth time in the last five seasons and will rely on their defense as a key weapon.
The Georgia team is coming off allowing seven points to South Carolina and if not for that touchdown with 53 seconds left in the game, the average of 3.3 points allowed per contest this year would be much lower. They have also blanked four of their last 14 opponents and have scored 130 points for only 10 conceded this year.
That is precisely the key to the Bulldogs: sting ahead in the game, with quarterback Stetson Bennett leading the charge, then let the defense do its job. In 2022 Bennett has completed 73.9% of his passes and totals 952 yards, with five touchdowns and no interceptions yet by opponents. How many interceptions does Kent State have this season? None.
JefeBet Prediction
Georgia’s superiority in this engagement is overwhelming. Their defense should have no problem against Kent State’s offense, but the fact that they solve games so early allows them to slow down in the second half of the game.
The Bulldogs are 4-11 playing against the spread in their last 15 games as favorites by more than 30 points, while being 1-4 against the spread in their last five home games.
Prediction: Kent State Spread (Kent State 7- Georgia 48).
