The Pick
The Bulldogs will easily win this game and the final score will make it seem like an easy feat, but Georgia's performance over the past few weeks has caused some inquiries to bubble up. That happens when your pass rush is suddenly plagued with an injury to DT Jalen Carter, and last week's 26-22 win was way too close of a win against a mediocre Missouri team. Auburn's defense should be able to avoid a blowout, but the Bulldogs get the win nonetheless.
