Best and worst bets for Washington Redskins 2020 NFL season

Sportsbooks across the nation have released many of their betting odds for the 2020 NFL season, and most seem to think Washington will suck.

Now that the 2020 NFL Draft is behind us, and we have all had our intense thirst for a live sporting event quenched, the next few months without football may seem bleak.

Twitter reacts to Michael Jordan betting on Broncos to win Super Bowl XXXII

NBA legend Michael Jordan bet on the Broncos to upset the Packers in Super Bowl XXXII.

In an episode of The Last Dance on ESPN last night, former Chicago Bulls star Michael Jordan celebrated winning a bet that the Broncos would upset the Packers in Super Bowl XXXII.

“How about them Broncos?” Jordan shouts on the team plane.

Denver was considered a big underdog against Green Bay but won the game 31-24, marking the first Super Bowl win in franchise history.

Georgia football opens as underdogs for SEC Championship Game vs LSU

Georgia has opened as underdogs for the SEC Championship Game vs LSU this Saturday.

The No. 2 ranked Tigers are favored by 6.5 points over the No. 4 ranked Bulldogs in Atlanta.

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.

UGA football a huge favorite over Georgia Tech this Saturday

This Saturday, No. 4 Georgia (10-1) will be playing Georgia Tech (3-8) in Atlanta for its final regular season game of the 2019 season.

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.

Twitter reacts as Georgia beats Auburn, punches ticket to SEC Championship Game

Twitter reacts as Georgia football beat Auburn and punched its ticket to the third straight SEC Championship Game.

For the third year in a row, the Georgia Bulldogs are headed to the SEC Championship.

On Saturday night, No. 4 Georgia defeated No. 12 Auburn 21-14 in a game that came down to the wire, even though Georgia dominated the first three quarters.

But in the end, the Dawgs did enough to hold off the pesky Tigers in a deafening Jordan-Hare Stadium.

A few quick stats before we show you our favorite Twitter reactions:

Georgia football: Score, stat predictions for UGA vs Auburn

Here are some Georgia football score and stat predictions for the UGA vs Auburn game.

No. 4 Georgia and No. 12 Auburn square off on The Plains at 3:30 p.m. ET on CBS from the Deep South’s Oldest Rivalry.

For Georgia, everything rides on this game. A win secures the Bulldogs a spot in the SEC Championship and gets them one step closer to making a trip to the College Football Playoff.

For Auburn, the Tigers pretty much dictate how the rest of the college football season plays out. Both Georgia and Alabama need to beat Auburn if either want to head to the playoff, meanwhile Oregon, which lost to Auburn early in the season, is hoping that the Tigers can win at least one of two games vs UGA and Bama. If Auburn can win, Oregon’s lone loss becomes a lot more forgivable and gives the Ducks a better argument to the committee at season’s end.

This should be your classic SEC matchup. A good ole fashion bloodbath featuring two of college football’s most physical teams.

Here’s what I see happening today:

Here are a few predictions previewing today’s game.

I’m taking Georgia to cover.

Over/Under (43.5)

LB Tae Crowder:

K Rodrigo Blankenship:

1/1 field goals, 2/2 PATs

Georgia offensive line:

One sack allowed.

On Georgia’s first drive of the game:

The place will be deafening and Georgia will surprise us all with a deep shot. Next thing we know, Georgia is just past midfield. The drive will stall after two runs and an incomplete pass. Jake Camarda pins Auburn inside its own 15 yard line.

On Auburn’s first drive of the game:

Nowhere to go. Auburn had a bye week to prepare for Georgia’s defense, but you can’t prepare for speed and physicality. Georgia allows one first down and then forces a punt.

Georgia Football Week 12: Expert picks and predictions (UGA vs Auburn)

Georgia football expert picks and predictions for UGA vs Auburn. Stats, score, betting predictions.

The Georgia Bulldogs have a chance to go the their 3rd straight SEC Championship game with a win over Auburn this Saturday.

They have already proven that they control their own destiny, winning three straight SEC East games following an overtime loss to South Carolina.

Many counted Georgia out, saying its season was over with that loss, but the Dawgs kept barking and scrapped their way back into the top 4 and in perfect position to make a trip to the SEC Championship, likely against LSU.

But first, Georgia’s focus is on Auburn. A win, and the Dawgs not only secure a trip back to Atlanta, but can start thinking College Football Playoff – though Kirby Smart would never admit that.

This Saturday in Auburn is going to be a bloodbath, as these are two of the most physically dominant teams in college football.

UGA Wire compiled a list of staff predictions, including the game score, spread, over/under, stat lines and more to get you ready for the Deep South’s Oldest Rivalry.
