Georgia vs Texas Prediction
Georgia is going to get the benefit of the doubt at home, and it has been the more consistent team this season overall. Texas is also just 2-6-1 ATS on the year and hasn’t been the same team on the road. However, let’s pump the brakes a bit.
This is pretty much a playoff game, and getting a team as talented as Texas as an underdog has value. At its best, the Longhorns can win this game outright. Also, Georgia is 4-10 ATS in its last 14 games when favorites of 5 or more points. I’m going to grab the points in what should be a close game the same way it was when these programs clashed 11 months ago.
