It’s game day DawgNation!
After a week-off, Georgia is back in action vs. Kentucky.
The Wildcats are 2-3 on the year coming off of a 20-10 loss at Missouri last week and enter into this one with a new signal-caller, Auburn transfer Joey Gatewood.
He will have his hands full as Georgia’s defense is one of the best in the nation and looking to avenge a tough loss at Alabama.

Matchup predictor: Georgia has a 85.9% chance to win, according to ESPN’s Football Power Index.
Series history: Currently the Bulldogs lead the overall series 59-12-2 over Kentucky. Georgia has won the last ten, with the Wildcats last victory coming in 2009.
Prediction: Georgia is not a good matchup from Kentucky’s standpoint. The Bulldogs are more than happy to chew the clock and run for 250 yards and usually that’s Kentucky’s game, but with quarterback Terry Wilson out due to injury, Auburn transfer Joey Gatewood will have to try and win with his arm, something Georgia’s elite secondary will look to take advantage of.
I’m taking Georgia 32-3, the Bulldogs dominate this one.
