Athens, Ga.. 4-0 (1-0). 814. Noon ET. 4-0 (2-0). 844. Saturday, Oct. 2. ESPN

Gambling odds:

  • Line: Georgia -18.5
  • Over/Under: 48
  • Moneyline: Georgia -975; Arkansas +650

This is why we switched up the first game on the slide. How are Georgia and the Arkansas Razorbacks a noon game? The Hogs should be the No. 1 team in the nation after dominating the Texas Longhorns and Texas A&M Aggies, one on the road and one at a neutral site.

Now, Sam Pittman gets to test just how good his team is on the road against an elite foe, as Arkansas travels to Sanford Stadium to take on UGA. We keep stressing on here that Pittman is another coach Tennessee football let slip away, and with Kendal Briles running the offense, anything is possible with this team.

Kirby Smart’s Dawgs look invincible, but you have to question the competition of South Carolina and the Vanderbilt Commodores. Their 10-3 win over the Clemson Tigers doesn’t look as impressive anymore, so this is their best chance to prove themselves.

Prediction

Georgia’s defense and Arkansas’s low-scoring win last week is why the over/under is at 48. However, both teams have gone over that three of four games, so take the over. In terms of the line, Georgia is better, but this just seems like too much, even in a road game for Arkansas. The Dawgs win, and the game hits the over, but they don’t cover.

Georgia: 35 Arkansas: 21 (Arkansas +18.5; Over 48)
