UMass Minutemen vs Georgia Bulldogs Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 11/23/24

The UMass Minutemen take on the Georgia Bulldogs in Athens on Saturday. UMass is 2-8 straight up and 4-5-1 against the spread. The Minutemen only have a preseason win total of 2.5, so with another win they will hit the over. Unfortunately, they aren’t going to get the win in this game. Georgia is 8-2 with a good chance at the College Football Playoff. The Bulldogs are currently third in the SEC and are coming off a big win over Tennessee. The question is not whether Georgia will win this game but how much it will win by. The Bulldogs haven’t been great against the spread this year with a 3-7 ATS record, but this will be their first game against a non-Power 5 opponent. They did play Tennessee Tech, an FCS team, earlier this season but did not cover the spread in a 48-3 win.

The spread in this game is not nearly as high in this game, but the question remains if Georgia will call off the dogs or not. Last season the Dawgs had 2 games against non-Power 5 opponents in which they won 45-3 against Ball State and 49-21 against UAB. Even in their 15-0 season in 2022 they played Kent State and won 39-22 and did not cover the spread. Georgia needs to win this game, but they don’t need to win by 40. They have a rivalry game against Georgia Tech next week and still have a shot at the SEC championship, so they could be resting starters halfway through this one. UMass may not score in this game but could still cover the spread.

UMass vs Georgia prediction: UMass +42 (-110) available at time of publishing. Playable at that number.
