ATLANTA, Ga. — Georgia and LSU square off for the SEC Championship today at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta with the conference crown on the line. For the Bulldogs, it has been since 2017 that they brought the trophy back to Athens. Meanwhile, LSU beat Georgia on this stage just a few years ago on their way to a National Championship and undefeated season.

“We’re on to LSU,” Georgia head coach Kirby Smart said on Monday. “We were able to get a start on these guys some yesterday. The NCAA rules afford us the opportunity on championship weeks to work a little bit on Sundays, so we were able to get at least a good jump start on them. Really more about putting the last game to bed for us, then as coaches preparing to get game plan ready to play a really talented team.”

“I’ve always had respect for Brian Kelly’s teams, going way back to when we played him at Notre Dame,” Smart continued. “They had very high quality preparation, coaching staff. They do a great job in all areas. He’s very organized. He has a process. He knows how to run a program … Their team’s very talented, and it should be a great matchup. I’ve always said this is an incredible atmosphere, as good an atmosphere as you’ll ever find in any sporting event, outside of just football, I’m talking about all sports. It’s a great venue, and the SEC office does a great job putting on a tremendous event. So our guys are looking forward to playing in it.”

It’s the fifth meeting between Georgia and LSU on this stage with three of the previous four going the way of the Bayou Bengals. Georgia is however a heavy favorite entering this one with the ling coming in as high as 18.5 in favor of the Bulldogs. Georgia was at one point as high as 21.5-point favorites and has never been less than a 14.5.-point favorite The Vegas Insider Consensus has the spread currently at 17.5.
