Read the full projection +
The model makes Georgia the neutral-field leader after blending opponent-adjusted efficiency, predictive ratings, roster quality, returning production, portal impact and special teams. The complete environment contributes +1.9 points toward the home-team margin. The median score is Georgia 31 · Auburn 20, with roughly 12.0 possessions per team.
This is a distribution, not a promise. Georgia wins 73% of the outcome curve; the remaining probability captures turnovers, finishing-drive variance, injuries and early-season uncertainty.
Does the strongest model advantage appear on the opening possessions?
12.0 possessions per team is the scoring baseline.

Market translation
Auburn +16.5.
A model direction, not an official tracked wager.
Model vs. market detailsSee the calculation, audits and pregame line movement+
The 4M line remains independent. A difference becomes actionable only when it clears the required edge and the availability, weather and disagreement audits.
What needs to happen: the projected unit advantages must survive first down and the turnover margin must stay near even. After kickoff, both the model and market comparison stay frozen.
