    Mac's CFB Week 3 Pick: Georgia Bulldogs cover the spread vs. Kentucky Wildcats

    College football Week 3 is here!

    That means the Georgia Bulldogs (2-0) are getting ready to take on their first SEC opponent of the season : the Kentucky Wildcats (1-1).

    The Bulldogs enter this matchup undefeated and fresh off a 48-3 win over Tennesse Tech "Between the Hedges." However, the same can't be said about the Wildcats who fell 31-6 to South Carolina at Kroger Field last week.

    Georgia isn't the only one that's undefeated as A to Z Sports' own four-legged college football expert, "Mac," is 2-0 on the season after taking the Dawgs to win in Week 1 against the Clemson Tigers and in Week 2 versus the Golden Eagles.

    For Mac's pick this week, he has the Bulldogs covering the spread.

    Georgia is favored to win by 24.5 points on the road at Lexington, leaving the Wildcats as the pretty heavy underdog.

    Mac's CFB Week 3 Pick: Dawgs cover the 24.5-point spread vs. Cats

    It's a great pick by Mac as the Wildcats have given up at least 15.5 points per game so far, including 84 total rushing yards. Kentucky's offense has scored just three touchdowns, which all came in Week 1 in their 31-0 win over (nobody) Middle Tennessee.

    What's ultimately going to keep the Wildcats in this game is their defense that has three interceptions on the season, star kick returner Barion Brown , and the inclement weather that's expected .

    Even then, though, the Bulldogs' offense is stacked with weapons both on the ground and in the air, which we saw last week after 15 different receivers were used as targets. The Dawgs are also led by Heisman favorite Carson Beck who has outperformed former Georgia backup and current Kentucky starter Brock Vandagriff.

    Vandagriff is 15-of-28 passing for 199 yards and three touchdowns with two interceptions so far. His 18.4 QB rating ranks dead last in the SEC. That's in comparison to Beck, who is 41-of-58 passing for 520 yards and seven touchdowns with zero interceptions and a 89.7 QB rating, which is best for second in the conference.

    Sure, the Cats will put up a fight against Georgia on their home turf like they have in recent years but it's clear that they're outmatched and this 24.5-point spread is nothing for the Dawgs to cover.
