ATHENS — Georgia football has opened as a massive favorite over Charlotte, per FanDuel.com, at -44.5 points.

Kirby Smart is not one to worry about style points, so much as taking opportunities to develop talent, as he did pulling starters in early season wins over Marshall (45-7 win) and FCS Austin Peay (28-6).

This time, however, the Bulldogs might have a bit more to play for when it comes to enhancing their College Football Playoff resume.
