Georgia vs Texas Prediction
This line is surprising, as Georgia simply isn’t playing good ball right now. I don’t care where the game is being played. Texas is 7-3 SU and ATS in its last 10 games, and it waxed Georgia a month ago by 20 points. We’ve seen Georgia lose at home to Ole Miss as double-digit favorites. This Bulldogs side can really struggle defensively for stretches. This is the best Texas has looked all season, and it has 3 road wins. Texas has covered its last 5 games as an underdog and has outright won 3 of those games. I’m rolling with Texas in a game it could win outright.
