The SEC championship game is five days away, and though LSU's College Football Playoff hopes were dashed with a loss to Texas A&M on Saturday, they still play for a conference title against No. 1 Georgia.

But if you watch the betting line, it'll be a tough road for the Tigers. Caesars Sportsbook, official odds partner of Bet.NOLA.com, lists Georgia as a 17-point favorite as of Monday morning. That's up a point from the 16-point spread when the odds were first released two weeks ago.

The spread had ticked down to 15 points last week, but after LSU's loss, money on Georgia has driven it back up.

Besides the 17-point spread, Caesars lists Georgia as a -900 favorite and LSU as the +600 underdog. That means a $20 bet on the Tigers would pay $140 if they pulled the upset. The game's over/under is 50½.

At other sportsbook, the spread ranges from Georgia -16½ (BetMGM) to Georgia -17½ (FanDuel and Barstool).

LSU (9-3) had won five in a row before the loss in College Station. The Tigers, who were 10-point favorites, had erased a first-half deficit and were driving to take the lead when quarterback Jayden Daniels' fumble was returned for a touchdown by Texas A&M, which led the rest of the way.

Daniels also left the game with an ankle injury. LSU coach Brian Kelly said Sunday he was optimistic Daniels would practice this week, but the quarterback's status could be one reason for the line movement.

Now they face Georgia (12-0), the reigning national champion that has won 11 of 12 games this year by double digits.
