Georgia vs. Michigan: Early predictions from national media

Early predictions from the media…

The Georgia Bulldogs will take on the Michigan Wolverines on Dec. 31 in the College Football Playoff from the Orange Bowl in Miami, Florida.

Georgia, coming off its first loss of the season against Alabama in the SEC Championship, is the only team to make the playoff that did not win its conference championship. Michigan is fresh off a Big Ten title win over Iowa.

Georgia is a 7.5-point favorite, which is a testament to how good the Bulldogs have looked this year despite a poor showing in Atlanta.

But the national media is split on who will win this game. Both teams match up pretty evenly and play similar styles of football.
