The 2017 SEC Championship Game features a matchup that hasn’t happened in its 26 year history.
In the Iron Bowl last week, the Auburn Tigers put together a stunning upset win over the Alabama Crimson Tide. Auburn (with two-losses) still has a shot at a College Football Playoff berth with a second win over Georgia.
The Bulldogs have the opportunity to avenge their only loss of the season here in the SEC Championship. Georgia was on a direct path to the College Football Playoff before the Auburn Tigers handed them a thorough 40-17 defeat. A make-up victory this Saturday would make them hard to deny for the CFP.

Betting on the Georgia Bulldogs 11-1 (+2.5)
The Georgia Bulldogs and Auburn Tigers are taking the field, in the SEC championship in New Orleans. The Bulldogs and Tigers are both ranked in the top 10, and the winner will play in the college football playoff this season.
The Georgia Bulldogs have played themselves back into the conversation to make the College Football Playoff. The Bulldogs demolished in state rival Georgia Tech last week, 38-7. Freshman quarterback Jake Fromm passed for 224 yards and two touchdowns in the win. Running backs Sony Michel and Nick Chubb both rushed for under 100 yards, but had a touchdown apiece in the win.
Defensively, the Bulldogs have played well all year outside of the loss against Auburn. Georgia is allowing 13.8 points and 271 total yards of offense per game on the season.
Betting on the Auburn Tigers 10-2 (-2.5)
The Auburn Tigers are the hottest team in college football right now. The Tigers recently beat the best team in the nation, number one ranked Alabama in Death Valley, 26-14. The Tigers held the Alabama offense to 314 total yards. Quarterback Jarrett Stidham passed for 237 yards and had no turnovers in the win. Look for Stidham to be relied on heavily late in this game.
On the defensive side of the ball, the Tigers limited Georgia to just 230 total yards. Auburn even went a step further virtually eliminating the nations best one two rushing combo to 48 yards on two carries
The last time Georgia and Auburn took the field against each other, was this season. The Tigers destroyed the then number one ranked Bulldogs, 40-17. Expect revenge to be a factor for the Bulldogs in this game.
Writer’s Prediction
The Bulldogs and Tigers are going to be playing with high emotions to start this game. The teams will be playing for a shot to play in the National Championship. The Bulldogs will probably have most of the pressure on their shoulders in this game. If Georgia can’t get the ground game going early, Jake Fromm is not going to be the answer late in the game.
The Auburn Tigers are looking to be a two loss team in the College Football Playoff. The Tigers are clicking on all cylinders right now, and expect them to cover and beat Georgia for the second time this year. Pick: Auburn (-2.5)
