Auburn and Georgia face off in two days in the game of the week as both teams are ranked in the top ten.

The Tigers haven’t won in Sanford Stadium since 2005 as it has been a nightmare between the hedges for the visiting team. Georgia came into Jordan-Hare Stadium last season and held on for a 21-14 victory.

According to BetMGM Sportsbook, Gus Malzahn’s side is currently a seven-point underdog to the Bulldogs.

Auburn is coming off a 29-13 victory over Kentucky in the season opener. Seth Williams caught two touchdowns and Bo Nix threw for 233 yards and three scores.

CBS Sports writer picks Auburn to upset Georgia

The Tigers and Bulldogs face off in a top-10 matchup on Saturday in Sanford Stadium.

The Deep South’s Oldest Rivalry is going to be a little weird with it being played in October instead of late in the season but the stakes are still high as No. 7 Auburn visits No. 4 Georgia in Athens on Saturday.

CBS Sports’ Barrett Sallee thinks an upset is brewing in Sanford Stadium.

No. 7 Auburn at No. 4 Georgia (-6.5): The wrong team is favored here. I don’t buy that JT Daniels is 100% following his knee injury last season or that he has the same ceiling as he did prior to it. Whether it’s Daniels or Stetson Bennett IV, Auburn’s defense won’t be threatened by an offense that struggled to find its sea legs. Auburn has its work cut out for it on offense, though. Quarterback Bo Nix looked better after some halftime adjustments last week, and there’s no doubt that coach Gus Malzahn and offensive coordinator Chad Morris held back much of the offense against Kentucky. Take those points, but you won’t need them. Auburn will win this game outright. Pick: Auburn (+6.5)

We tend to agree with Sallee here. While the arrival of Daniels will most likely give Georgia a better option at quarterback, the Tigers are coming off an impressive performance against Kentucky.
