The Razorbacks are 5-1 ATS in their last six road games and 4-1 ATS in their last five on grass. Arkansas is also 10-3 ATS in their last 13 conference games.
Meanwhile, Georgia is 5-2 ATS in their last seven overall and 1-5 ATS in their last six on grass. The over is 6-0 in the Bulldogs’ last six conference games as well.
PICK: I’m going to go with Georgia in this SEC matchup. Granted, the Bulldogs outmatched Vanderbilt in nearly every facet last weekend, but the numbers are impressive all the same. Georgia held the Commodores to just 77 total yards, four first downs and a 1.7 yards-per-play average. They’re in fine form these days.
As for Arkansas, they posted an impressive effort against a good Texas A&M team last weekend, holding the Aggies to 272 yards and 15 first downs. This one is shaping up to be a fun matchup, but I still like Georgia to eke out a cover.
