After getting toppled from their perch atop the College Football Playoff rankings with a crushing 40-17 loss at Auburn as 2.5-point favorites, the Georgia Bulldogs close out their home schedule on Saturday with a Week 12 matchup against the Kentucky Wildcats at Sanford Stadium. The Wildcats improved to 7-3 with last week’s 44-21 win at Vanderbilt as 2-point underdogs.

- Georgia is 17-2 SU in its last 19 games at home in November.
- Kentucky is 14-42 SU in its last 56 games against its conference.
The Bulldogs saw a 10-game SU win streak halted with their loss to the Tigers. Georgia has also failed to cover in two straight overall and three of five on home turf, and has averaged just 20.5 points per game in its past two after tallying 42.33 ppg over its previous six, but has seen the OVER prevail in totals betting in four of its past five.
The Wildcats have proven to be solid road performers, going 4-2 SU in their past six and covering in six of eight. Kentucky has also covered in three of four as a double-digit road underdog, and has produced solid results in road dates against SEC rivals, going 3-2 SU in its past five and covering in five of six.
Georgia has dominated in head-to-head meetings with the Wildcats, winning outright in seven straight, 5-2 ATS. The Bulldogs eked out a 27-24 win at Kentucky as 2.5-point chalk last year, but are 10-1 SU in their past 11 dates on home turf, claiming victory by an average margin of 33 points over their past two.
