We have slogged through the majority of bowl season and have finally arrived at the College Football Playoff. The semifinals will take place on Saturday, starting with Michigan vs TCU before Georgia goes up against Ohio State. This marks the second straight semifinal matchup against a Big Ten opponent for the Bulldogs, who walloped Michigan last season and then took down Alabama for the title.
Below is our SGP for the Peach Bowl, and also be sure to check out our full Ohio State vs Georgia picks on the side and total.'
Part of the value in same game parlays, of course, is that all of its components can be correlated if you so choose. At the same time, plays that aren't correlated drive up the overall payout of the parlay. We are doing a little bit of both here, as Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint finding the endzone at least once would obviously work well with a Georgia victory but doesn't help an under bet. Still, there is no reason why this game can't stay under the total even if Rosemy-Jacksaint scores. Let's break down each of the SGP legs.'
Georgia -6 (-110)
Georgia will begin the College Football Playoff in the same stadium its season started: Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta. It is basically the Bulldogs' home away from home; in fact, it is basically just an hour away from Athens. They kicked off their 2022 campaign by destroying Oregon inside the Benz and then the Dawgs just recently rolled over LSU in the same venue for the SEC championship. Such is the benefit of being the #1 seed in the CFP. This isn't technically a home game for UGA, but it's close. And it's not like head coach Kirby Smart's team needs any help, anyway. The defending national champs have blown out opponents left and right for the most part this year. They are averaging nearly 40 points per game on offense with Heisman Trophy finalist quarterback Stetson Bennett leading the way. Ohio State's defense has allowed more than 29 points per game over its last 3. That's a bad trend against the nation's most eff icient passer in Bennett. Let's back the Dawgs to win and cover.'
