Prediction looks nice, but if I were a betting man, I take the under on 20% chance for us to beat Auburn, SECW champ, and two top-4 teams.
I hope I'm wrong.

I dont understand why we are favorite 
-Are we even going to be in the playoffs
-Do we have a chance against Miss State/ Alabama at SECG
-What have we shown that makes us a favorite.. look at our performance against South Carolina (with Gurley), Tennessee, 2nd half against Arkansas
Vegas is just preying on our optimism to bet against us perhaps??
I obviously hope the odds are correct.. because that would be freaking awesome.. but it just seems strange.

The answer you seek is in post #2.
The West is a Battle Royal right now. We have a much clearer path.
I wouldn't put much stock in that 2nd half against Arky.....remember in '08 Bama let us score 30 the second half of the Blackout. They scored a couple of times in the second half to keep it out of reach but they absolutely demolished us in similar fashion to that Arky game.

I personally think FSU has the best chance of getting TO the playoff of all teams remaining, based on their remaining schedule. I also think that UGA is a much better team than FSU and if we meet them in the playoffs, we win. Ultimately I do think UGA has the best odds of winning the natty than any team in the country...but I don't think our odds (even though they are the best) are 20%.

they kinda have a point...we do have a clear path and when Gurley comes back he will be a wrecking ball...(no Miley reference here...just to be sure yall dont get it twisted)....
personally I think we spend all our money against auburn and lose in the SECCG...

Pruitt and the D would be the biggest factor in that game. He knows FSU in and out and I would expect his game plan would be very tight. We would have Gurley(IF he comes back) and the offensive should be able to score some points.

This. We have a much easier schedule that any of the West teams. And there's a real but small possibility that the SEC champ has 2 losses and that there is no SEC team in the playoffs. For instance, FSU, Oregon and Michigan St. all have much easier paths into the playoffs than any SEC team. If ND and all of those teams win out, the SEC could be on the outside looking on the first ever college football playoffs. Needless to say the folks pushing for 2 SEC teams in the playoffs would go ballistic.

Vegas loves statistics and UGA has some pretty damn good ones when compared with west and other teams.
We put up a lot of points every game, our least being 35.
Our one loss was by 3 pts against a team we should have beaten and won by the numbers.
We have been consistent even when Vegas put odds against us.
I wouldn't bet against Vegas. They know their shite because their money depends on it

This.
I want ND in the semi and FSU in the final.

That would be an awesome scenario.

Beat Bama in the SECCG followed up by this. Couldn't draw it up any better than that.

Would be EPIC. Would mean that we beat Auburn too. Although we have heard what an easy schedule we have blah blah blah, nobody could deny those victories.
But we gotta take care of business week in and week out. Fun to day dream but We Are Georgia. Sorry, the Downer Dawg in me came out there lol!

If it were to work out that way we would've beaten 3 top 10 teams and another that's top 25. Pretty easy path if you ask me.
That's ok, I'm not saying it but I'm damn sure thinking the same thing!

Don't think for one second Auburn isn't dreading our appt. They are scared to death

Word. It's a really really bad idea to start dreaming about games when there are 2 top 5 teams in the way.

So I guess Vegas was wrong?

It's odds/probability. The odds-makers simply overlooked the Georgia bed-pooping factor.
