The last time we saw Georgia in the College Football Playoff, it was putting the finishing touches on then-defending champion Alabama to secure its first title victory in 41 seasons. The Bulldogs haven’t lost a game since as they head into Saturday’s semifinal matchup with No. 4 seed Ohio State.
Top-seeded Georgia is dealing as a near-touchdown favorite over the Buckeyes, who needed some late-season breaks just to make the final four-team field. Can they turn that good fortune into an upset victory in their quest for their first title in eight years?
Here’s how we’re betting Saturday’s contest, which kicks off at 8 p.m. ET on ESPN.
Ohio State fans, even though you can’t bet the Buckeyes for tonight’s game, sign up for BetMGM Sportsbook to be ready to be ready if they advance to the National Championship!

At the beginning of the season, Georgia and Ohio State were virtually neck-and-neck in the minds of bettors and bookmakers alike, and you could argue which team ought to be favored on a neutral field. Four months later, the Bulldogs find themselves as convincing favorites in this not-so-theoretical matchup – and there’s a good reason for that.
