Top-ranked Texas will try to clear its biggest hurdle so far this season when it hosts No. 5 Georgia on Saturday night. The Longhorns (6-0) maintained their spot atop the polls with a 34-3 win against then-No. 18 Oklahoma in the Red River Rivalry last week. Georgia (5-1) lost a thriller at then-No. 4 Alabama at the end of September, but it has bounced back with wins over Auburn and Mississippi State. The Bulldogs are set to close as underdogs for the first time since their 2021 season opener against Clemson.
Kickoff is set for 7:30 p.m. ET at Darrell K. Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium in Austin. The Longhorns are 4.5-point favorites, per SportsLine consensus, in the latest Texas vs. Georgia odds, which is up from the opener of -2.5. The over/under for total points is 56.5.

Why Texas can cover
This will be the first top-five matchup at Darrell K. Royal Stadium since 2006, so Texas will have a massive crowd advantage on Saturday night. The Longhorns remained atop the polls this week following their 34-3 win over then-No. 18 Oklahoma in the Red River Rivalry, giving them six wins this season by 19-plus points. Junior quarterback Quinn Ewers returned from an abdominal strain to throw for 199 yards and a touchdown while rushing for another score.
Ewers was able to overcome a sluggish start against the Sooners and establish some momentum heading into this game. Texas is riding an 11-game home winning streak and has covered the spread in five of its first six games this season, while Georgia has been overrated by the betting market, failing to cover the spread in five straight outings. The Bulldogs were blitzed by Alabama in the first half of their other top-five matchup this season, so Texas will be looking to follow a similar script early in the game on Saturday.

Why Georgia can cover
Texas has not faced a legitimate championship contender during its six-game winning streak to open the season, as Michigan has nearly dropped out of the top 25 and Oklahoma is no longer ranked. The Longhorns are facing a Georgia program that has won 44 of its last 45 regular-season games and has been ranked in the top 10 for 57 consecutive weeks. The Bulldogs' current senior class has a 47-3 record and are rarely available to bettors as underdogs.
Veteran quarterback Carson Beck posted the third-highest single-game passing yards total in school history last week, racking up 459 yards and three touchdowns on 48 passing attempts against Mississippi State. He ranks ninth nationally with 1,818 passing yards this season. Georgia has won 14 consecutive games in the month of October, and it is 16-1 in its last 17 road games. See which team to pick here.
