The No. 2 Georgia Bulldogs (2-0) and the Arkansas Razorbacks (1-1) meet Saturday in a SEC matchup at Donald W. Reynolds Razorback Stadium in Fayetteville, Arkansas. Kickoff is scheduled for noon ET (ABC). Let's analyze college football odds around the Georgia vs. Arkansas odds and make our expert college football picks and predictions for the best bets.
Georgia leads the all-time series 12-4, including victories straight up and against the spread (ATS) in the past 3 meetings. The most recent meeting was in 2021, a 37-0 win between the hedges at Sanford Stadium in Athens. In UGA's last visit to Fayetteville in 2020, the Dawgs won 37-10 in front of a limited crowd of 16,500 fans due to COVID-19 restrictions.
Georgia (-40.5) posted a 70-20 win over
the Western Kentucky Hilltoppers last Saturday as the Over (56.5) cashed. In 2 non-conference wins over WKU and the Tennessee State Tigers of the FCS, the Bulldogs have averaged 66.5 points per game (PPG), while going 2-0 ATS. The Over has cashed in both outings, with UGA hitting the number on its own.
Arkansas was thumped 43-10 as a 13.5-point underdog at the Utah Utes last Saturday, coming nowhere near covering as a 13.5-point underdog. The Under has cashed in both outings for the Razorbacks so far.

Georgia at Arkansas picks and predictions
Prediction
Georgia 45, Arkansas 17
Moneyline
Georgia (-3000) will cost you 30 times your potential return, and there's never a reason to bet such a heavy favorite. Even as part of a multi-leg parlay, there is no reason to include UGA, as there is just no value.
AVOID.
Against the spread
Take a shot on GEORGIA -24.5 (-110) laying the points, as Georgia's offense has been a well-oiled machine so far.
Granted, UGA played 2 creampuffs, Tennessee State and Western Kentucky, but Arkansas hasn't exactly offered much resistance to date. The Razorbacks were punished at Utah last week, and they've lost the past 2 meetings with the Bulldogs by 32.0 PPG. And, those Arkansas teams were arguably much better than the current version.
Over/Under
OVER 54.5 (-108) is the play, and it wouldn't be shocking to see Georgia take care of the Over all on its own. And, while Arkansas has struggled on offense, Western Kentucky did post 20 points in Georgia last weekend, mostly in garbage time. But, Over bettors don't care when the points come, as long as they come, and it wouldn't be shocking to see Arkansas move the ball at home late.
Best prop bet
GEORGIA QB GUNNER STOCKTON - 3+ PASSING TOUCHDOWNS (+140)
Stockton has 8 passing TDs in the first 2 games, and that production came in a pair of blowouts against inferior competition. This game should be a lopsided affair, too, and while the run game should be strong, Stockton will get to at least 3 passing scores before a run-heavy offense takes over. At plus-money, this is too tough to pass up.
