Cheer for the Bulldogs, just don’t bet the house on them.
An analysis of Georgia results against Vegas' spreads over the last 10 years reveals the Bulldogs don't perform well as the underdog. (Vegas oddsmakers set a betting line for every game, favoring one of the teams. Betting against the spread means wagering on the underdog.)
Listed ninth in the conference against the spread with a 63-65-4 (.492) record since 2008, CBS Sports' Tom Fornelli warns:
Never bet Georgia as a dog (9-14-1 ATS), but don't bet it as a big favorite either. Instead, find the happy medium. When the Dawgs are favored by fewer than 14 points (-13.5 to -0.5) they've gone 36-28-3 ATS.
Under coach Kirby Smart, the Bulldogs have been 17-11 against the spread (13-2 during their College Football Playoff run last season.)
Vegas predicts Georgia will win 10 or more games in 2018. What do you think?
