Kirby Smart has certainly improved what had become a stale Georgia Bulldogs program upon taking over in 2016. In just his second season on the job Smart led UGA to the national championship game where the Bulldogs took Alabama to overtime before losing in a heartbreaker. However, this season Smart’s Bulldogs lacked offensive firepower and are being labeled as a program that has fallen behind the times. In contrast Matt Rhule and the Baylor Bears are seen as the Little Engine that Could with the CFB Odds. Rhule stepped into a terrible situation and quickly turned it around in a way that nobody expected.

Georgia Bulldogs Vs. Baylor Bears Odds Analysis
Georgia is a favorite with the CFB odds based on pure public perception of their status as a quality SEC team. Baylor is an upstart surprise team in the Sugar Bowl that may draw some fliers from bargain hunters.
Current Form
Baylor enters the Sugar Bowl with a record of 11-2 straight up, 9-4 against the spread and 6-7 under the total. The Bears are coming off a 30-23 overtime loss in the Big 12 championship game to the Oklahoma Sooners. National metrics have Baylor ranked 17th for scoring offense and 16th for points allowed.
Georgia is 11-2 straight up, 7-6 against the spread and 3-10 under the total. The Bulldogs were ambushed in a 37-10 loss to the LSU Tigers in the SEC championship game. UGA ranks 51st for scoring offense and second for points allowed. That loss to LSU has put intense heat on Kirby Smart to upgrade and modernize the offense.
