BookMaker has the Georgia Bulldogs listed as 31.5-point favorites on the road against the Vanderbilt Commodores on Saturday afternoon in week 7 of the college football season. Georgia has won eight of the last ten including the previous five matchups in a row while going 6-4 ATS in the last ten and 5-0 ATS in the previous five games in the series. The Bulldogs are 1-4-1 ATS overall, 0-1 ATS on the road, 1-4-1 ATS as a favorite, and 1-2 ATS in conference games this season while the Vanderbilt Commodores are 0-7 ATS overall, 0-4 ATS at home, 0-4 ATS as an underdog, and 0-3 ATS in conference games on the year. 

This matchup features the best team in the SEC against the worst team and there is a huge disparity between the teams in terms of talent. Georgia has been unstoppable in the last five meetings against Vanderbilt not only winning all five but covering the spread in those contests. The Commodores have not only been bad straight up this season but have not covered the spread in any of their seven games this season which is why I have no hesitation in buying the .5 point and taking the Georgia Bulldogs -31 on the road against the Vanderbilt Commodores in week 7 of the college football season.
