Georgia vs Auburn predictions, picks, odds and who wins Week 7 college football gam

Georgia’s rushing attack enters Saturday’s showdown with Auburn in disarray, with head coach Kirby Smart confirming no backup options exist to replace the injured starters. Tyriq Green, a two-way player who typically lines up at safety, remains sidelined after a Week 2 injury, while Chauncey Bowens—Georgia’s leading rusher in touchdowns—is out for the second consecutive game with a lower-body issue.

Nate Frazier, the team’s top back, is also unavailable due to lingering rib injuries, leaving junior Dwight Phillips as the lone reliable option. Phillips, who ran for a career-high 120 yards on 17 carries last week, has stepped up in the absence of his teammates, embracing the opportunity with a “next man up” mindset.

Meanwhile, Auburn’s offense, which has managed just 13 points or fewer in Athens since 2009, faces a daunting task against a Bulldogs defense that has held opponents to 21 or fewer points in its last two home games. Bookmakers currently favor Georgia by 21 points, with the over/under set at 49.5, reflecting the wide gap in expectations for a rematch of the Deep South’s oldest rivalry.
