Georgia is the more talented team this season and has been the better team in the series, going 3-0 all-time while going 2-1 ATS in those matchups. However, the Bulldogs have not covered a spread this season and I look for that trend to continue in this matchup which is why I am buying the .5 point and taking the UAB Blazers +42 on the road against the Georgia Bulldogs in week 4 of the college football season on BookMaker.
