Georgia owns the longest active streak as a betting favorite in the nation, a 49-game run that is poised to end Saturday against top-ranked Texas.
The Longhorns were consensus 5-point favorites over the Bulldogs on Friday. The line opened early in the week with Texas as a 3.5-point favorite, but a flurry of bets on the Longhorns hit multiple sportsbooks Wednesday, causing the spread to move to as high as -5.5 before settling at -5.
Texas remained a popular bet at sportsbooks entering the weekend. At BetMGM, more bets had been placed — and more money wagered — on Texas minus the points than any other team on the board.
Fanatics Sportsbook reported Thursday that the Longhorns had attracted six times as much money from bettors as any other team on Saturday's college football slate.
