Ball State at Georgia Preview & Picks

Ball State are tipped to cover against the national champions.

Georgia should win handily, but their recent spread record in non-conference games is ugly reading.

The Cardinals, meanwhile, have a decent knack for covering against ranked teams, so we are taking them and the points.

  • Georgia are just 2-5-0 ATS in their last 7 non-conference games
  • Ball State are 3-1-0 ATS in their last 4 games against ranked teams
  • Georgia’s season-opener produced over 52.5 total points
  • The Over cashed in Ball State’s first game of the season (58 total points)

Head To Head

  • This is the first ever meeting between the two teams

Ball State Form

Ball State head to Georgia on the back of a blowout loss in their opening game of the season.

The Cardinals went 5-7 win 2022 – a season that started with a 59-10 defeat at the hands of Tennessee.

Their opening game of this season resulted in a heavy loss too, as Ball State were beaten 44-14 at Kentucky last weekend.

Georgia Form

Georgia’s bid to three-peat as national champions got off to a winning start thanks to a comfortable victory last weekend.

Despite losing a string of talent to the NFL in the offseason, there are big expectations surrounding the Bulldogs.

They dominated college football last season, going a perfect 12-0 before beating #11 LSU 50-30 in the SEC Championship Game.

Georgia then backed that up with a 42-41 win over #4 Ohio State in the Sugar Bowl, setting up a National Championship showdown with surprise package TCU.

The Horned Frogs had stunned Michigan to make it to the showpiece game, but they were no match for the Bulldogs, who ran out 65-7 winners.

They started their defence of the crown at home to UT-Martin last weekend, and ran out 48-7 winners in that one.

Verdict

Georgia are the better team and are expected to run away with this one.

However, their recent spread record in lop-sided matchups like this one is poor, making Ball State a tempting pick as huge underdogs.
