The only thing standing in the way of the National Championship hopes of the #1 LSU Tigers (12-0) is their SEC Title Game matchup with the #14 Georgia Bulldogs (10-2).
The matchup will be decided in the Georgia Dome, but this is not the stadium where the Bulldogs usually play.
They lost their season opener to Boise State there, but are a perfect 4-0 on the road outside of that loss.
Kickoff is set for 4:00 PM ET and the game can be watched on CBS.
Despite playing in their home state, the Bulldogs are currently listed as 13.5-point favorites in Las Vegas.
LSU opened up at -10 on the point spread before being bet up gradually throughout the week thanks to the public supporting the Tigers at close to a 65% ratio.
The total started off at 45 but has since moved up a point to 46.
Although most online sportsbooks show LSU at -13.5, you can still find quite a few places at -13 in Las Vegas if you want to bet on the Tigers.
Nevada also has some unique lines on the total with the Wynn showing the highest total I’m aware of at 46.5.
LSU and Georgia last met up in 2009 when the Tigers won 20-13 on the road as 3.5-point favorites.
It was revenge for the Bulldogs’ 52-38 win in 2008, but it was the only LSU victory in the 4 head-to-head meetings between these schools since 2004.
Georgia has covered the point spread in 3 of the 4 games, while all but the most recent in that span have gone over the total.
The Bulldogs have covered the point spread in 8 of their last 10 games this season, while LSU has followed suit in 7 of their last 8 against teams with a winning record.
