This Saturday’s matchup between Oregon Ducks vs Georgia Bulldogs is set to be one of the best matchups of the first week of college football as it pits the universities that are considered #12 and #3 in the nation, respectively.
Of course, we mustn’t forget that the Bulldogs are the reigning national champions after finishing last season with a 14-1 record and defeating the favorite, the University of Alabama, in the finals. As for the Ducks, they finished with a 10-3 record, but lost the PAC-12 Conference Final to Utah and the Alamo Bowl to Oklahoma.

- Over/Under: 53.
The University of Oregon begins its 2022 season with a mission to win the PAC-12 under new head coach Dan Lanning, who was Georgia’s defensive coordinator last season.
The Ducks’ best chance of beating the Bulldogs is precisely on defense. In general, Oregon’s defensive line is very good and when we talk about their linebackers we can say that they are among the best in the country thanks to the scouting done by the Hurricanes’ head coach, Marios Cristobal, when he was in charge of this program.
On offense Lanning will have to decide between Bo Nix or Ty Thompson to be his starting quarterback, but the most important thing about this team is that despite the new players building their offensive line, this could be one of the toughest ones Georgia will see this year.
Betting on the Georgia Bulldogs
- Season record: 0-0.
- Spread: -17.0.
- Moneyline: -850.
- Over/Under: 53.
The wonderful thing about this team is that even without Dan Lanning and five of its defensive players who were drafted in the first round of the NFL Draft, Georgia is still favored and extremely talented to replicate their 2021 success.
Several of their current players have the talent to play in the NFL and the power and quality to overcome the Ducks’ offensive line, which, while one of the finest in the league, may not be on the same level as Georgia’s excellent defense, which last year allowed just 10.2 points per game.
Things don’t change much on the offensive side, and while facing a defense led by Lanning, quarterback Stetson Bennett and his teammates will just need to move the ball well, score some points, and leave the rest to their dominant defense.
JefeBet Prediction
Let’s not get mixed up. Georgia has a quality team, is a title contender, and should win this neutral-field game against Oregon.
But, that doesn’t mean the Ducks are going to get thrashed. The University of Oregon is one of the best in the nation, they have a very talented new head coach, their offensive and defensive lines are pretty stable and they have the talent to compete with the powerhouses.
The Bulldogs are well aware of this and cannot be trusted. At the end of the day they are going to win the game because of the amount of talent they have in all areas regardless of who is gone. But, it won’t be easy, it won’t be a beating and they will have to work for the victory.
Pick: Oregon Spread.
