How Many Games Will Georgia Win in 2024?

With action on the hardwood soon to take over the airwaves, college football will be (temporarily) put on the back burner.

However, for those gridiron fans who want to get ahead of the game, FanDuel Sportsbook has live with 2024 college football win totals! Like many others, I personally have my eye on the Georgia Bulldogs -- a program that has only dropped two contests over the past three seasons.

Undoubtedly, the coming year will commence a new era of Football Bowl Subdivision. For UGA, that will directly apply when they travel to Lone Star's capital city (Oct. 19) to take on an SEC newcomer. Additionally, in 2024, the playoff field will expand from four to a dozen teams.

Before spring ball gets up and running, let's have a look at Georgia's 2024 win total at FanDuel Sportsbook while taking both perspectives -- the over and the under.

Why Georgia Could Win Over 10.5 Games (-110)

Head coach Kirby Smart should have the incoming crop of Bulldogs champing at the bit after the way last season concluded.

Georgia -- riding consecutive national titles -- lost in the most recent SEC Championship Game to the Alabama Crimson Tide. For the Dawgs, it was only their second loss over the past three years (44 games), and naturally, both came versus Nick Saban and the Tide. From there, Coach Smart's group was left out of the 2023-24 College Football Playoff.

Of course, Coach Saban has since retired. Incidentally, that leaves UGA as top "dawg" in the grouping once again. On trend with other campaigns this decade, Georgia continues to both recruit strong and get players to the NFL. Simply, Athens has been a talent factory.

At numberFire, the Bulldogs (29.48 nERD) are respected as the third-highest ranked team in FBS. Simultaneously, UGA is above any other SEC program, as the incoming Texas Longhorns (25.00) and Oklahoma Sooners (23.50) are at No. 7 and 8 on this list.

Speaking of the Longhorns, Georgia will travel to Austin this season (Oct. 19), which will likely be one of possibly two contests all year wherein UGA shows as the "underdawg." Along with the bid at Texas, Georgia has an early season romp with Alabama in Tuscaloosa.

So long as the Bulldogs do not slip up against inferior competition throughout the campaign, they stand a favorable shot to go over 10.5 wins (-110 odds). Basically, it will almost certainly come down to how Georgia does against UT and 'Bama; UGA can afford one loss between those two powerhouse matchups, but no more.

As alluded to, the Dawgs have some prevalent returners in 2024. A rarity in college football these days, Georgia will bring back their starting signal-caller from last season. Standing at 6-foot-4, Carson Beck is a quintessential pocket passer. In 2023, the lanky quarterback compiled a QBR of 85.2, which was seventh-best in Division I.

On the defensive side, linebacker Smael Mondon and safety Malaki Starks will be back for another campaign between the hedges. Mondon was Georgia's second-leading tackler in 2023 while Starks was named an All-American behind three interceptions and seven passes defended.

Transparently, the Dawgs from Athens have gone under 10.5 wins only once since 2016.

Why Georgia Could Win Under 10.5 Games (-110)

Earning 11 victories in a single season is always a daunting task -- even for a team entering 2024 as the No. 1 program on ESPN's Way-Too-Early Top 25. Naturally, you won't find a CFB win total higher than 10.5 games at FanDuel Sportsbook.

Make no mistake, Georgia is still top dawg in the SEC. Be that as it may, they will be operating with almost no room for error in this market.

As noted, UGA's difference between 10 and 11 wins will likely come down to the Bulldogs' aforementioned games at Alabama and Texas. Should Georgia lose both, they will be working behind the eight-ball here prior to playing a quality Mississippi Rebels team in Oxford.

For other marquee games, Georgia will need to take care of their rivalry bids, matching up with the Florida Gators ("World's Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party") and Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets ("Clean, Old-Fashioned Hate") annually. The Bulldogs have won at least three-years running in both series, but perhaps that trend is disrupted in 2024. You know how rivalry games can be.

UGA will obviously send significant personnel to the 2024 NFL Draft in Detroit. That will take place on April 25-27, when many Bulldogs will surely have their names called. Georgia is losing beef on both the offensive and defensive lines, but they might be most depleted in the secondary going forward.

Bulldogs defensive backs Javon Bullard, Kamari Lassiter and Tykee Smith will all play on Sundays next season. For the offense, skill players Brock Bowers, Ladd McConkey and Kendall Milton have also declared for the draft.

When you survey the list of departing players, Georgia is losing substantial talent to the NFL in 2024 -- but that is something the program in Athens has grown accustomed to this decade. However, going against the tall task of 10.5 games in FanDuel Sportsbook's CFB win totals, the Dawgs will need to have all the right moves.

Of course, UGA is also a three-to-one favorite in FanDuel's odds to win the 2024-25 CFP National Championship.
