Auburn Cover and Gunnar Stockton Passing Prop Highlight Georgia Matchup

Georgia returns home to face Auburn after an emotional game against Alabama. That creates a potential letdown spot for the Bulldogs, who are laying 20 points against an Auburn team coming off a bye.

Auburn could even lead 10-7 at halftime before Georgia responds in the second half. A 28-20 final would give Auburn the cover, even though Georgia is the more talented team.

Another way to approach the matchup is Gunnar Stockton’s passing-yard prop at 214.5. Stockton completed all but four of his passes last week and previously threw for 294 yards against Vandy and 249 against Alabama.

Auburn’s secondary has also allowed opposing quarterbacks to produce through the air, including 252 passing yards by Fio and 333 by former Florida quarterback DJ Lagway with Baylor. Georgia prefers to run the ball, but Stockton should be able to reach 215 passing yards.
