The two teams play completely different styles of football. For Georgia to win this game, it will need to control the clock, run the ball on LSU and force Joe Burrow and the Tigers’ offense to watch from the sideline. If that happens, I like Georgia’s chances. If Georgia’s offense sputters and proves incapable of converting on third down, then the Dawgs will be in trouble.

We can count on our defense to give us as good of a shot as possible, but if the offense does not help them out then things could get ugly.

The Bulldogs opened as 28.5 point favorites over the Yellow Jackets, according to BetMGM. The over/under has been set at 46.5.

This will be the 113th meeting between the two in the rivalry known as Clean, Old-Fashioned Hate. Georgia has beaten its little brother in 15 of the last 18 outings (Tech’s only three wins were by one point, six points in overtime and three points).

Makes you wonder why we still hear from them each offseason. If they were so smart you’d think they’d be better at picking their battles.

It’s looking like another Georgia win is coming. The Jackets are 3-8, but for some reason incredibly confident right now after beating a 4-7 NC State team by two points.

Georgia has only beaten three teams by 29 or more points this season – Murray State, Arkansas State and Tennessee. Georgia Tech is bad, probably about and bad as Tennessee was at the time of that game, but the Dawgs just have not been blowing teams out this season.
