I'm calling Kirby Smart to jump right back on the wagon in my 2024 Georgia Bulldogs preview. Falling flat on reaching their chances of a three-peat last season, the Bulldogs are the favorites to win the national championship (+300) this year. Here's my full 2024 Georgia season preview:
2024 georgia bulldogs national championship odds
| Team | Odds |
|---|---|
| Georgia Bulldogs | +300 |
With +300 odds, the Bulldogs top the national championship oddsboard. Every season since 2018, Georgia has sat within the top five as a title contender, carrying +800 odds or better.
Being ranked No. 1 in the preseason AP Poll for the second consecutive season, the Bulldogs stay solid in all departments. With 11 receivers eclipsing 100 yards last season, with 13 touching the endzone at least once, Georgia's depth is a nation-wide threat.

2024 georgia bulldogs win total odds
| Wins | Odds |
|---|---|
| OVER 10.5 Wins | -125 |
| UNDER 10.5 Wins | +105 |
With a win total set at 10.5, oddsmakers are favoring the Bulldogs to go OVER (-125). Though I don't think it'll be that easy this time around, I'm siding with the oddsmakers.
Going 13-1 SU last year, that was Kirby Smart's worst record since 2020. The single loss came in the SEC championship outing against Alabama, where Georgia fell 27-24 and was pushed out of the playoffs.
The Dawgs' toughest matchups carry over from last year, with high stake visits to No. 5 Alabama (Week 4) and No. 6 Ole Miss (Week 9). While hosting No. 15 Tennessee (Week 10), too. But, with the conference realignment, new SEC members, No. 4 Texas, are also featured on the schedule -- which will also be a road matchup for Georgia.
The most probable losses are to the Tide and Longhorns, but the Bulldogs are -4.5 and -2 point favorites against them respectively on the lookahead line. I'm still confident the Bulldogs hit double-digits in the win column again. But, hey, a sprinkle on the plus-money UNDER isn't something I'm totally opposed to.
2024 georgia bulldogs college football playoff odds
| To Make College Football Playoff | Odds |
|---|---|
| Yes | -600 |
| No | +400 |
At -600, Georgia holds the second-best odds to make the college football playoff, falling behind Ohio State (-650), despite missing the postseason last year. With the CFP bracket opening up to 12 spots, the Bulldogs and their talent are sure to make their mark in the playoffs.
Carson Beck, who led Georgia to rank fifth in scoring offense last year (40.1 PPG), returns alongside four crucial members of his offensive line. The defense, which allowed 16.6 PPG (ranked seventh) also brings back a handful of starters. With not much overturn to the roster, there's no denying Georgia is a talented group.
As mentioned, Kirby Smart's schedule won't be easy but the 12-team bracket, where a stumble or two isn't the end of the world, is perfect timing for him.

| Player | Odds |
|---|---|
| Carson Beck | +800 |
Battling back-and-forth for the favored spot with Oregon's transfer pick-up, Dillon Gabriel (+750), Carson Beck has been at the forefront of Heisman Trophy discussions all year.
Last year, in his first season as a starter, the senior tossed just shy of 3,500 yards, the third-most in the nation while his 72.4 pass completion percentage was enough to place him just outside the top three in division 1.
The Florida-native proved he was able to manage the pressure of taking the starting quarterback position of a program that collected two of the last three national championships.
In Heisman talks and with the potential to be the first-overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, a potentially huge season awaits for Beck and he'll be doing everything he can to crete that happy ending.

2023 georgia bulldogs betting results
| Team | SU | ATS | O/U |
|---|---|---|---|
| Georgia Bulldogs | 13-1 | 6-8 | 7-7 |
When it comes to being favored by two touchdowns or more, fade the Bulldogs. Georgia covered just four of 11 spreads of 14-points or more last year. However, with that robust schedule I keep referring to, I don't think hefty lines will be overwhelming for the Bulldogs this season. Current odds show half of Georgia's first six games have it favored by 14-points of fewer, including being a slight two-point favorite while visiting Texas -- featured in our games of the year.
