The Runnin' Bulldogs are 6-0 against the spread in their last 6 games after allowing less than 50 points in their previous game. The over is 4-1 in Georgia’s last five games overall. The over is 4-1 in Georgia’s last five home games. The under is 7-1-1 in Gardner-Webb’s last nine road games.

I don’t trust this Georgia team, and even though Gardner Webb hasn’t had a great season. They have actually been the better defensive team. Look for Georgia to have issues scoring in this game and that will allow the Runnin Bulldogs to keep it close. Back Gardner Webb against the spread. In terms of the total I do believe this will be a slower-paced game and the under is going to cash.
