In this game, as of late August, the odds were -105 for Clemson -3.5 and -115 for Georgia +3.5. If the ticket cashes, the payout is dependent on two things: stake and odds. That three-point win, however, is enough to cash tickets for Georgia +3.5. If Clemson wins 27-24, the margin of victory is three points and not enough to cash tickets for Clemson -3.5. If, for example, Clemson wins 27-21, the margin of victory is seven points and enough to cash tickets for those who placed a college football bet on Clemson -3.5. Meanwhile, Kirby Smart and the Bulldogs must either win the game or lose by three or fewer points to cover their spread of +3.5. The spread for a Clemson-Georgia game is 3.5 points, meaning Dabo Swinney and the Tigers must win by at least four points to cover the spread of -3.5. The spread, aka point spread, is the number of points by which one team is favored, i.e., the margin of victory, as set by the sportsbook.
