The Georgia Bulldogs are 13-point home favorites against the Auburn Tigers Saturday<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Auburn has alternated wins and losses over the past five games, coming in off a 41-23 win over the Mississippi Rebels as 11-point home favorites.\u00a0 The Tigers have actually lost three of four road games this year, getting outscored by a sizable 134-64 score in those contests.\u00a0 It\u2019s important to note that all three of those defeats came against teams currently ranked in the top 11 of the BCS standings.\u00a0 The program leads this particular series, 54-52-8, including an 18-11 advantage when playing Athens.\u00a0 Auburn is 16-7 ATS versus conference opponents over the last two-plus years.<\/p>\n

The Tigers have won 12 of their last 14 conference games and will be looking to keep this game close, posting a 9-0 record in games decided by four points or less, including a 5-0 mark versus SEC foes.\u00a0 Auburn will be sending sophomore quarterback Clint Moseley out for another start, after throwing for 160 yards and four touchdowns in the win over Mississippi on Oct. 29.\u00a0 \u201cI think for Clint, specifically, the bye week was invaluable,\u201d commented Tigers head coach Gene Chizik.\u00a0 \u201cIt\u2019s good to come off a win and be able to build on some things.\u201d<\/p>\n

Georgia controls its own destiny in trying to reach the SEC Championship Game, heading into the \u201cDeep South\u2019s Oldest Rivalry\u201d.\u00a0 The total points scored in the matchup reveals that only 38 points separate the two teams.\u00a0 \u201cOur guys feel awesome,\u201d commented Bulldogs quarterback Aaron Murray about potentially playing in the conference championship.\u00a0 Both teams are careful with the football, with the Bulldogs bringing in a plus-eight turnover margin, while the Tigers are plus-two in that category.\u00a0 Georgia is 6-1 ATS as a favorite this year.<\/p>\n

The Bulldogs have won seven consecutive games, matching the longest winning streak during a season in the Mark Richt era.\u00a0 During the run, Georgia has outscored opponents by a 250-99 margin, holding opponents to just eight offensive touchdowns in that span.\u00a0 The team is looking to win six conference games in a row in a season for the first time since 1982.\u00a0 The Bulldogs have benefited greatly in quick starts, outscoring opponents by a 68-17 margin in the first quarter.<\/p>\n

Bettors will likely back the Tigers due to their 13-3 ATS mark in SEC play, while the Bulldogs are 3-9 ATS versus teams with a winning record.<\/p>\n
