UGA football is a huge favorite over Georgia Tech this Saturday.
This Saturday, No. 4 Georgia (10-1) will be playing Georgia Tech (3-8) in Atlanta for its final regular season game of the 2019 season.
The Bulldogs opened as 28.5 point favorites over the Yellow Jackets, according to BetMGM. The over/under has been set at 46.5.

This will be the 113th meeting between the two in the rivalry known as Clean, Old-Fashioned Hate. Georgia has beaten its little brother in 15 of the last 18 outings (Tech’s only three wins were by one point, six points in overtime and three points).
Makes you wonder why we still hear from them each offseason. If they were so smart you’d think they’d be better at picking their battles.
It’s looking like another Georgia win is coming. The Jackets are 3-8, but for some reason incredibly confident right now after beating a 4-7 NC State team by two points.
Georgia has only beaten three teams by 29 or more points this season – Murray State, Arkansas State and Tennessee. Georgia Tech is bad, probably about and bad as Tennessee was at the time of that game, but the Dawgs just have not been blowing teams out this season.

A look at UGA vs Georgia Tech ticket prices compared to the rest of college football this rivalry week. Plus looking the SEC Championship.
It’s the final weekend of the college football regular season. Wow…how sad is that?
Very sad is the answer to that question, but on the bright side we are in for a good day of college football.
Alabama vs Auburn and Ohio State vs Michigan headline what will be an exciting Saturday. Additionally, fans will also be able to enjoy a ranked matchup between Wisconsin and Minnesota plus Oklahoma and Oklahoma State.
With the Dawgs playing LSU in the SEC Championship the following weekend, I’m looking forward to watching how the Tigers handle Texas A&M, which Georgia struggled against last weekend.
Speaking of the SEC Championship, currently, the get-in price for the conference title game is $341 and the average is now $995. The get-in price has only dropped just over 2% in the last week, but the average list price has gone down 23% over that same time frame. I’d be curious to see what would happen to those prices if LSU were to lose this weekend seeing as how it would then be a win-or-go-home battle for both teams.

As for this weekend, Georgia fans’ wallets will get a bit of a break if they want to see the Dawgs take on Georgia Tech in Atlanta. Currently, Clean, Old-Fashioned Hate is the weekend’s ninth most expensive game, with a get-in price of $98. For Georgia fans, that’s not too bad; for Tech fans, this is the Yellow Jackets’s most expensive game of the season.
