The Oregon Ducks and the Georgia Bulldogs open their seasons Saturday on a neutral-site field at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta at 3:30 p.m. ET (ABC). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Oregon vs. Georgia odds; check back for our college football picks, predictions and bets.
The Ducks posted 10 regular-season victories last season, but lost the Pac-12 Championship Game to the Utah Utes, and dropped the Valero Bowl to the Oklahoma Sooners.
Coach Mario Cristobal also bolted for Miami (Fla.), so Saturday’s game is the first game for Dan Lanning, who was the defensive coordinator for Georgia from 2019-21.
Georgia registered a 33-18 victory over Alabama in the national championship game. The Bulldogs’ defense dominated last season, allowing just 9.5 PPG in the regular season to lead the nation.
Oregon is No. 12 and Georgia is No. 3 in the AFCA Coaches Poll powered by USA TODAY Sports.
