The College Football Playoffs will continue today with the Allstate Sugar Bowl after being postponed 24 hours after a terrorist attack in New Orleans’s French Quarter.
While fans were shocked to hear the news of the early morning tragedy that took 15 people’s lives and injured many others, out of respect for the victims and the city, the College Football Playoff Committee decided to postpone the game. The game will now take place Thursday, Jan 2nd, and coverage will begin at 4 pm EST.
Below, we will discuss the matchup and how to bet on the College Football Playoffs with online sportsbooks.
Betting On The Georgia Bulldogs
For most of the season, the Georgia Bulldogs were heavy favorites to win the NCAA National Championship. However, after suffering season losses to Alabama and Ole Miss, the Bulldogs barely made the playoffs. While the dogs have beaten Texas twice, once in the regular season and once in the SEC Championship, they are not favored to win against the Irish.
Below are the current game line odds for the Allstate Sugar Bowl from legal football betting sites.
Notre Dame (#7) vs. Georgia (#2)
- Spread: N.D. -1.0 (-110), UGA +1.0 (-110)
- Win: N.D. -115, UGA -105
- Total: O45.5 (-115), U45.5 (-105)
Betting On The Fighting Irish of Notre Dame
This season, Notre Dame has only lost one regular season game to the Northern Illinois Huskies (16-14). While many fans thought it was over for the Irish after losing to an unranked team, the Fighting Irish fought back with big wins over Texas A&M, Army, USC, and more.
The Irish also have a slight advantage going into this game, given that Georgia’s quarterback Carson Beck will not be on the field after suffering a season-ending injury against Texas in the SEC Championship.
