Sporting News: Georgia 38, Vanderbilt 17
Bill Bender writes: "Vanderbilt quarterback Jared Curtis
is tasked with facing Georgia, which has rolled up 54.8 points per game and will be a popular pick knowing they are 4-0 ATS. The Commodores are 4-1-1 ATS as an underdog since last season under Clark Lea, and this could be a surprise cover given how high the spread is. Will the Bulldogs be peeking ahead at Alabama?"
Bookies.com: Bet the under in Georgia vs Vanderbilt game
Bill Speros writes: "The Bulldogs quietly rolled to a 4-0 (2-0 SEC) start by driving the Sooner Schooner into a ditch Between the Hedges. Gunner Stockton and the 'Dogs have scored 86 points in their two conference games. A 12:45 p.m. start on the SEC Network is just fine with Kirby Smart. And don't expect the Bulldogs to be caught peeking ahead to next week's Old Testament showdown in Tuscaloosa. The number (-24.5) is a sneaky three-score spread. Our model has Georgia by 20.9. Kirby pulls Gunner and the skill players to rest them for the Tide next week after securing a decisive lead. The defense, however, never lets up."

Picks and Parlays: Bet the over in Vanderbilt vs Georgia game
Kim Smith writes: "Georgia has scored 41 or more points in every game this season, while Vanderbilt reached at least 28 in each of its first three contests. The Bulldogs may do most of the heavy lifting, but Vanderbilt should be capable of contributing enough offense to push this game upward. A result around 42-20 or 41-21 comfortably clears this target."
