In this article, we will formulate a Texas vs Georgia Prediction for this College Football SEC Championship game on Saturday, December 7th, at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. Let’s take a look at a Texas Longhorns vs Georgia Bulldogs pick.
Georgia Played With Fire
Georgia sure played with fire in the last game against Georgia Tech. Georgia needed a late comeback to even tie the game and then it took until the 8th overtime to come out on top. Carson Beck started his game out slow but played better as the game went on, and he completed the game by throwing 28 of his 43 passes for 297 yards. Cash Jones finished the game with four catches for 53 yards and a touchdown. This isn’t the same dominant team as Georgia in years past, but they still have everything in front of them.
Georgia on the season is averaging 34.1 points while their defense is giving up 20.5 points per game. The offense is ranked 25th in the league while the defense is also ranked 25th in college football. In this game, to find success, they are going to need a complete game from Carson Beck.
Can Texas Make a Statement?
Even with a loss Texas is probably in the college football playoff, but a win in this game would make quite the statement. Texas in the last game faced off against Texas A&M and the offense wasn’t exactly elite, but they were still able to secure the 17-7 victory. Quinn Ewers completed 17 of his 28 passes for 218 yards, one touchdown, and one interception. Quintrevion Winser had a huge game rushing 33 times for 138 yards. Archie Manning also had a rushing touchdown, and it wouldn’t be shocking for him to play a role in this game either.
Texas is averaging 34.8 points while their defense is giving up 11.6 points per game. The offense is ranked 21st in the league while the defense is ranked 2nd. The defense needs to really put the pressure on Beck to try and throw him off the game.
Texas vs Georgia Prediction
Everyone seems to be counting out Georgia, but I think they find success here. They might not be the same team as the Georgia of the past, but don’t let that fool you, they are still as talented as the Longhorns. This game is also going to be played in Georgia, which should help the fans on their side of the stadium. Carson Beck is going to have a big game here, and Georgia is going to come out ahead. Back Georgia on the money line to cash here.
