First look: UAB at Georgia odds and lines, UGA looks to avoid Week 2 letdown

Previewing the college football Week 2 matchup between the UAB Blazers and Georgia Bulldogs with odds, trends and head-to-head records.

The UAB Blazers (1-0) and Georgia Bulldogs (1-0) meet Saturday at Sanford Stadium in Athens, Ga. Kickoff is scheduled for 3:30 p.m. ET. Below, we look at the UAB vs. Georgia odds and lines; check back for our college football picks and predictions.

UAB opened with a 31-0 win over FCS Jacksonville State at the Cramton Bowl Wednesday, so they get a few extra days to prepare. The Blazers allowed just 64 rushing yards and 91 passing yards. UAB needs to take better care of the ball after losing a pair of fumbles vs. Jack State.

Georgia grinded out a 10-3 road win over Clemson in a game that featured zero offensive touchdowns. DB Christopher Smith had the big blow with a 74-yard pick-six early in the second quarter to open the scoring. UGA limited Clemson to two total rushing yards and just 178 yards through the air.
