The Georgia Bulldogs aren’t the most talented SEC team in the world, but they have done a decent job of winning the games they’re supposed to win, and Hampton isn’t great. The Hampton Pirates have serious issues finding consistent offensive success, and it hurts their defense. If focused, Georgia can run away with things here and put this game away before halftime. I’ll lay the chalk.
