Peach Bowl Betting Odds - Georgia vs. Ohio State
The Georgia Bulldogs may have had massive roster turnover from last year’s national championship team, but it didn’t matter. In fact, Georgia was more dominant in 2022 with a loaded roster of 5-star talent. In their last outing, the only game that truly mattered to the Ohio State Buckeyes took place. Ohio State hosted the hated Michigan Wolverines in a classic revenge setup at the Horseshoe. Ohio State flopped in a rout. The Buckeyes were once again out-toughed by the Maize and Blue. On the defensive side, Ohio State showed marked improvement and toughness. Until Michigan came to town. Now they are facing heat and doubts. And the powerhouse national champion Georgia Bulldogs.

It should be no surprise that the LSU Tigers have the most Peach Bowl wins at six as a Southeastern Conference powerhouse. The nearby Auburn Tigers are also a natural fit, with a record of 4-2 in the Peach Bowl. The quietest surprise is that the NC State Wolfpack is 4-3 in the Peach Bowl. Incredibly enough, one of today’s superpowers, the Clemson Tigers, has a record five losses in the Peach Bowl to go with three wins.
