Prediction
The Georgia Bulldogs are a significant favorite in this game, but simply put, they are the superior team. The Bulldogs have been dominant in both of their games this season, crushing both Clemson and Tennessee Tech, while Kentucky came out completely flat against South Carolina. The Wildcats may have the home crowd behind them, but with Georgia better in every aspect of the game, backing them to record their third straight blowout win will be our best bet for Saturday night.
Final Pick
Georgia Bulldogs -24 (-110)
