Auburn has 8.8% chance to beat Georgia on Saturday

Auburn football’s five-game home stretch is officially complete, and the Tigers leave Jordan-Hare Stadium for the next month with a 2-3 record following a heartbreaking 27-21 loss to the Oklahoma Sooners.

Heading into a giant road trip, ESPN does not have a good feeling that Auburn will succeed in the month of October, starting with Saturday’s matchup against the Georgia Bulldogs.

The ESPN Football Power Index and matchup predictor shows the Tigers to only have an 8.8% chance to take down Kirby Smart’s squad in Athens. Auburn has not had luck in Sanford Stadium as of late, having not won there since 2005.

According to ESPNBet, the current spread shows a -24-point favorite towards the Bulldogs, with an over/under set at 52.5. Those numbers indicate a dominating performance from Georgia’s offense, trying to once again dominate the Tigers for another year.

The Bulldogs are coming off of a devastating loss after their comeback efforts fell short against Alabama in Tuscaloosa, but shockingly, they rank just below Auburn in both total offense and points per game.

Georgia has some struggles on defense as well, ranking No. 14 in the SEC in rush defense, giving up 126.3 yards per game in that category. On the flip side, its pass defense is superb, just giving up 162 yards on average (No. 5).

The newest edition of “The Deep South’s Oldest Rivalry” will kick off at 2:30 p.m. CST at Sanford Stadium, and will be broadcast on ABC.
