Week 12 SEC Predictions
Last week's predictions were 5-1, overall they are 70-18. The Deep South's Oldest Rivalry is set for Saturday evening at 6:15 p.m. CT on ESPN as Auburn travels to Athens to face Georgia at Sanford Stadium.

Auburn at Georgia

The Tigers are 7-2 overall and 4-2 in the SEC, while the Bulldogs are 7-2 overall and 5-2 in conference play. Auburn leads the all-time series 55-54-8 after winning last year's contest 43-38 in Auburn.

After a disappointing loss to Florida Nov. 1, Georgia bounced back with a 63-31 road victory against Kentucky on Saturday. Quarterback Hutson Mason threw four touchdown passes and running back Nick Chubb rushed for 170 yards and a touchdown.

For the season, Mason has completed 140 of 203 attempts for 1,515 yards, with 15 touchdowns and three interceptions. Chris Conley has 25 catches for 443 yards and Michael Bennett has 30 receptions for 302 yards.

Chubb has done a nice job at tailback for the Bulldogs after Todd Gurley was suspended for four games by the NCAA for taking $3,000 for autographed memorabilia and other items over two years. Gurley's suspension is over but Georgia head coach Mark Richt has yet to announce a starter at tailback for the Auburn game.

Georgia's offense averages 43 points per game, 256.3 rushing yards and 196.9 passing yards per game. Defensively, the Bulldogs allow 23.2 points per game.

Auburn fumbled twice late in the fourth quarter and was upset by Texas A&M 41-38 at Jordan-Hare Stadium. Despite the loss, running back Cameron Artis-Payne had a huge afternoon by rushing for a career-best 221 yards and two touchdowns. Artis-Payne leads the SEC with 1,190 yards.

The Tigers racked up 363 yards on the ground against the Aggies and lead the SEC with 286.4 rushing yards per game.

Quarterback Nick Marshall completed 15 of 21 passes for 219 yards and a touchdown with 67 rushing yards on 18 carries.

Receiver Duke Williams, who suffered a sprained ligament in his right knee in the second quarter, won't play against Georgia. He could return Nov. 22 when the Tigers host Samford.

With Marshall under center. Auburn averages 38.7 points per game and 220.4 passing yards per game. As a unit, the offense averages 506.9 yards per game.

Auburn's defense has allowed an average of 35.5 points during its last four games. Overall, the Tigers give up 24.1 points per game and surrender 386.3 total yards per game.

Prediction: Auburn 34-31.
