The last time Auburn and Georgia met on the field, the Tigers won 40-17. According to the current betting trends, few are expecting such a lopsided result in the rematch in Atlanta.
Considering the first game was in Auburn, the environment will obviously be much different for the Bulldogs this time around. Playing so close to Athens in front of what is expected to be a Georgia-heavy crowd should aide the team’s efforts to bring home the SEC title back to campus. The status of star Auburn running back Kerryon Johnson also looms large, as he is the key to the Tigers’ offensive system. Johnson enters the game as a “game-time decision” according to Gus Malzahn.
Whatever the reason, the line in the game has shifted Saturday to a pick’em according to ESPN’s David Payne Purdum.
