After losing in the SEC Championship and being left out of the College Football Playoffs, the Georgia Bulldogs have been on a tear. They beat down Florida State in the Orange Bowl 63-3 and opened the season with a 34-3 thrashing of Clemson in Atalanta.
Kirby Smart has his squad on a mission to win their third National Championship in four years.
Kentucky hopes to spoil the Bulldogs’ season with an upset. The Wildcats are 24-point underdogs and have not beaten Georgia since 2019.
The Wildcats must learn to operate efficiently on offense after losing OC Liam Coen to the NFL.
If last week indicates how the Kentucky offense will look, they might be in for a long night and an even longer season.

Brad Thomas (@MrBradThomas) is taking Georgia -12.5 in the 1st half
“This is a total mismatch on both sides of the field. We saw Kentucky’s offense struggle last week against South Carolina. The Gamecocks are stout on the defensive line, but the Bulldogs are filthy.
Brock Vandagriff’s passing line is set at 130 yards. That makes me think the Wildcats try to find success on the ground. The Bulldogs will stack the box and dare Vandagriff to beat them.
Georgia gets out to an early lead here and coasts to a win.”
