Georgia owns the longest active streak as a betting favorite in the nation, a 49-game run that is poised to end Saturday against top-ranked Texas.
The Longhorns were consensus 5-point favorites over the Bulldogs on Friday. The line opened early in the week with Texas a 3.5-point favorite, but a flurry of bets on the Longhorns hit multiple sportsbooks Wednesday, causing the spread to move to as high as -5.5, before settling at -5.
Texas remained a popular bet at sportsbooks entering the weekend. At BetMGM, more bets had been placed -- and more money wagered -- on Texas minus the points than any other team on the board.
