The top game in SEC college football betting on Saturday takes place in Athens, Georgia at 3:30pm EST as the 18th ranked Georgia Bulldogs host the fourth-ranked LSU Tigers. Despite being ranked much higher than Georgia, the Tigers are 3-point underdogs in week 5 college football betting lines at online sportsbooks. This key SEC football game can be seen on CBS television on Saturday and it should be a good one. LSU comes into this week 5 game undefeated in college football betting but was lucky to survive last week against Mississippi State failed to score from the one-yard line late in the game. The win was huge for LSU though and it also gave head coach Les Miles a lot to say to his team this week. The Tigers are last in the SEC in offense. "Right now we're playing vulnerable," said Miles. Georgia football is 3-1 on the season led by wide receiver A.J. Green who leads the SEC in receiving yards with 428. Joe Cox has thrown for 245 yards per game with nine touchdowns and five interceptions. The Georgia offense may need to score a lot on Saturday if they expect to win. The defense has been a major problem for the Bulldogs this season in college football betting. Georgia is next to last in the SEC in yards allowed per game.
