We have slogged through the majority of bowl season and have finally arrived at the College Football Playoff. The semifinals will take place on Saturday, starting with Michigan vs TCU before Georgia goes up against Ohio State. This marks the second straight semifinal matchup against a Big Ten opponent for the Bulldogs, who walloped Michigan last season and then took down Alabama for the title.
Below is our SGP for the Peach Bowl, and also be sure to check out our full Ohio State vs Georgia picks on the side and total.
Georgia -6 (-110)
Under 62.5 (-110)
Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint to score a touchdown (+200)
Parlay odds: +939
Part of the value in same game parlays, of course, is that all of its components can be correlated if you so choose. At the same time, plays that aren’t correlated drive up the overall payout of the parlay. We are doing a little bit of both here, as Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint finding the end zone at least once would obviously work well with a Georgia victory but doesn’t help an under bet. Still, there is no reason why this game can’t stay under the total even if Rosemy-Jacksaint scores.

Let’s break down each of the SGP legs.
Georgia -6 (-110)
Georgia will begin the College Football Playoff in the same stadium its season started: Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta. It is basically the Bulldogs’ home away from home; in fact, it is basically just an hour away from Athens. They kicked off their 2022 campaign by destroying Oregon inside the Benz and then the Dawgs just recently rolled over LSU in the same venue for the SEC championship. Such is the benefit of being the #1 seed in the CFP. This isn’t technically a home game for UGA, but it’s close. And it’s not like head coach Kirby Smart’s team needs any help anyway. The defending national champs have blown out opponents left and right for the most part this year. They are averaging nearly 40 points per game on offense with Heisman Trophy finalist quarterback Stetson Bennett leading the way. Ohio State’s defense has allowed more than 29 points per game over its last 3. That’s a bad trend against the nation’s most efficient passer in Bennett. Let’s back the Dawgs to win and cover.
Under 62.5 (-110)
The under is 8-5 in Georgia games this season, which is nothing new. In 3 of the 5 that went over, the Bulldogs allowed their opponents to score at least 19 points — which is 7 more than their season average. When one team is allowing such a small number of points, a total of 62.5 is humongous. Yes, these offenses are very good, but are they good enough to surpass the number? Probably not! Even though Bennett has been efficient, the Dawgs are still a run-first team. They are going to control the pace of play with the run game and perhaps their best defense will be keeping Ohio State’s offense off the field. Keep in mind that Ohio State is without wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba and running back TreVeyon Henderson. Give me the under all day.

Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint to score a touchdown (+200)
In the biggest games – and this is certainly the biggest game of the season so far for these teams – one of the main priorities for any defense is to not let the opponent’s best players beat you. Quite often it is the role players who step up on the biggest stages. Enter Rosemy-Jacksaint, who has scored only 2 touchdowns in 2022 but both of them have come in Georgia’s last 5 games. He is also coming off a 47-yard effort in the SEC Championship against LSU. It should also be noted that fellow WR Ladd McConkey may be less than 100 percent due to a knee injury. This is a good opportunity for MRJ to have a big game.
