Georgia vs Auburn Prediction, Pick & Line

Stockton has a solid duo at wide receiver in Colbie Young and Zachariah Branch. They have remarkably similar numbers, with Young posting 13 more yards and Branch posting one more touchdown. Auxiliary weapons London Humphreys and Dillon Bell have caught 11 passes each.

In classic Georgia fashion, the Dawgs have multiple quality running backs. Chauncey Bowens leads the line with 56 rushes for 310 yards and three touchdowns. Nate Frazier has provided 253 yards and a pair of touchdowns. On non-sacks, Georgia has averaged 5.0 yards per carry.

Defensively, the man of the hour is linebacker C.J. Allen. The Dawgs’ leading tackler, Allen is one of the premier run-defending linebackers in the country and a player who could go in the top 50 of the 2026 NFL Draft.

Shifting to Auburn, the Tigers got off to a roaring 3-0 start before stumbling twice in SEC play. They were ranked as high as No.22, but they have lost to Oklahoma and Texas A&M in their last two games. After the Georgia game, Auburn has three more teams in the top 20 of the current AP Poll on their schedule.

Oklahoma transfer Jackson Arnold has had a solid enough start to his tenure at Auburn. He has 10 total touchdowns with zero interceptions, but he does have two fumbles. Strictly as a runner, Arnold has been very good – averaging 5.7 yards per rush – but his sack total drags his official stats into the mud.

As is usually the case in a Hugh Freeze offense, the name of the game is running the football. Jeremiah Cobb is the closest thing to a bellcow in this offense, averaging over 80 yards per game on a quite efficient 6.9 yards per carry. Auburn has inexplicably opted to abandon the run in recent weeks, but Cobb is the key to a close game versus Georgia.

Georgia Tech transfer Eric Singleton has been a reliable option in the passing attack, posting 265 yards and a pair of touchdowns thus far. Notably, Singleton had 100 or more scrimmage yards in both of his games against Georgia, scoring in last season’s instant-classic affair. Cam Coleman is the Tigers’ big-play threat, averaging a healthy 15 yards per catch.

Auburn has a talented defense, but its crown jewel is Keldric Faulk. A potential top-10 pick in April, Faulk is a dominant two-way edge defender. Among edge rushers with 100 run-defense snaps, Faulk ranks sixth in PFF run-defense grade. As a pass rusher, Faulk is deployed all across the defensive line, wreaking havoc from each spot. He had seven pressures in Auburn’s loss to Oklahoma.
