I like Utah as well at -6.5. I think this number might climb to -7 by game time...I'm guessing there may be a lot of early money on Utah, raising the line. People are going to be impressed with their big margins recently, albeit against lesser opponents. I think the only two comparable games for Utah are their Wash St and Wash games which they won by 25 (@ home) and 5 (on road) respectively.
Also, Thibioux (DE) for Oregon may be out. He is their leading sack man, but against Utah, not sure that matters. Utah runs a lot and very well (top 20%) but Oregon's run D is not to shabby either (top 20%). Orgeon is a little more dependent upon the pass game so the rain may impact them slightly (not a big factor though).

I was on Georgia but after reviewing their injury/suspended list, I backed off. They have a lot of key players out or questionable.
- DB Stokes is questionable.
- RB Swift (#1 RB on team) is probable but dinged up.
- WR Pickens (#1 WR) has to sit 1st half due to suspension from last weeks game.
- WR Cager (#2 WR) out for season.
Here is the full list:
- (!)[RB] 12/01/2019 - D'Andre Swift left last game, is probable Saturday vs LSU ( Shoulder )
- [DB] 12/01/2019 - Eric Stokes is "?" Saturday vs LSU ( Undisclosed )
- [WR] 12/01/2019 - George Pickens is OUT first half Saturday vs LSU ( Suspension )
- [WR] 12/01/2019 - Lawrence Cager is out for season ( Ankle )
- [DL] 12/01/2019 - Devonte Wyatt is "?" Saturday vs LSU ( Lower Body )
- [OL] 12/01/2019 - Justin Shaffer is "?" Saturday vs LSU ( Neck )
- [DB] 12/01/2019 - Tyson Campbell is "?" Saturday vs LSU ( Toe )
I was hoping to get updates on some of these guys before committing.
Firedawg... As a homer, maybe you can give us more insight into how you see these injuries impacting the game.
