COLLEGE FOOTBALL

Georgia has started 3-0 with 178 points scored and just 40 allowed, backed by 539.0 total yards per game and 7.6 yards per play. Oklahoma is 2-1 with 75 points scored and 23 allowed, averaging 329.7 total yards and 5.4 yards per play. Georgia’s run game has been especially productive at 253.3 rushing yards per game, while Oklahoma’s defense has been strong against the pass at 104.3 passing yards allowed per game. Oklahoma’s offense has been more modest at 25.0 points per game, which makes it harder to project enough scoring to push this game into a shootout.
Georgia should control the game, but the strongest betting angle is a lower total rather than a side because both defenses have been effective and Oklahoma’s offense has not shown enough consistent production to keep pace with Georgia for four quarters. The projected final score is Georgia Bulldogs 27, Oklahoma Sooners 13, which supports an under result and leaves a comfortable cushion below the current total range.
