Why Georgia can cover

Georgia remains one of the most talented and experienced teams in the country. The Bulldogs returned 16 starters from last year’s 12-1 team, including quarterback Carson Beck. The 6-foot-4 senior enters this game with 1,818 yards, 15 touchdowns and five interceptions. His biggest target was senior wide receiver Arian Smith, who had 23 catches for 412 yards and three touchdowns.

Defensively, the Bulldogs are loaded with top-notch talent and are a better unit than their season stats suggest. Georgia is near the middle of the SEC in total defense (312.5 total yards allowed per game) and defensive scoring (17.2 points allowed per game), but those numbers are skewed by two blowout games against Alabama and Mississippi State. Safety Malaki Starks is arguably the best safety in college football and will likely be a strong first-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. See which team you should choose here.

Why Texas Can Cover

The Longhorns have been dominant this season, winning their six games this season by a combined score of 259-38. In last week’s Red River Rivalry, the Horns held Oklahoma to 237 yards and three scores while totaling 406 offensive yards against OU’s vaunted defense.

Georgia’s offense will be a tough test for Texas, but there is plenty of reason for optimism on the Texas side. The Longhorns’ defense leads the country in total yards allowed per game (229.7) and points allowed per game (6.3). Georgia could also be without standout offensive lineman Tate Ratledge, who is dealing with an ankle injury and is listed as questionable on Georgia’s availability report.
