Two of college football’s best teams will face off in an early SEC matchup on Saturday. No. 8 Arkansas will travel to Sanford Stadium to take on No. 2 Georgia. Both teams are 4-0 on the year, but the Bulldogs have looked like the stronger side overall and crushed Vanderbilt 62-0 last week. The nation’s second-ranked team is expected to dominate this matchup, but the visitors could challenge the home team more than oddsmakers anticipate.

Why Arkansas can cover
Arkansas finished 7-3 against the spread last year and has carried its success into the 2021 season. The Razorbacks are 4-0 against the spread and have won every game by double digits. Few teams can compete against them when it comes to covering on the road.
Arkansas has won five straight games as a road underdog facing a team with a winning home record. While all the Razorbacks’ wins this season have come at home, they’ve won by an average of 21.25 points. Georgia scored 10 points against its only other ranked opponent this year and could struggle against a more formidable team that’s thrived in harsh environments.
Why Georgia can cover
The Bulldogs are 4-0 straight up and 3-1 against the spread this year. They’ve managed to beat opposing teams by an average of 36.25 points. No team has come close to challenging Georgia since its season opener against Clemson. Arkansas could be in trouble if it’s not at 100 percent, and the status of its quarterback is up in the air ahead of the weekend.
Razorbacks signal-caller KJ Jefferson has powered his team to four straight wins. He’s questionable for Saturday because of a knee injury he suffered against No. 15 Texas A&M last week. Jefferson has generated 1,074 yards and eight touchdowns with his arm and legs, while no other Arkansas quarterback has thrown more than four passes this season. His absence or limited ability could give Georgia a significant edge on game day.
