Georgia -28

[Purduekev]

Even if Georgia is looking ahead to the SEC Championship game versus LSU the following week, I can't help but believe this large number of 28 will still be covered. Does Georgia Tech even get to 7? I doubt it because their offense has been woeful against teams with decent defenses (Virginia Tech 0 points, Temple 2 points, Pittsburgh 10 points) and now they play perhaps the best defense in the country.

I realize Georgia' offense hasn't been firing on all cylinders too but the competition level they have faced on defense versus who they face Saturday is vastly different plus I think this won't be a look ahead game to LSU but a statement game to the committee in case they lose to LSU in the SEC Championship game the following week.

I see Georgia in the 40's and Georgia Tech possibly being blanked or at the max scoring single digits with a meaningless score in the fourth quarter. I hate giving this many points but I am going to in this case. Any thoughts from anyone else who is considering this game. Thanks.

My only hesitation would be that Georgia is going to rest a bunch of their guys

This huge spreads are tough. Tech has come out w some decent efforts. Obviously this was gonna be a tough overhaul considering the previous coach had been recruiting guys to play the option for last decade (or whatever). Not easy to run a more pro style offense w option players. Gonna be very tough for them to score so think if you made me play it I’d lay the points.

Really comes down to what is Uga gonna score? Can’t see tech scoring more than 10, will that be enough to get the cover? Might be. I’m with dawg. Passing.

[RudyRuetigger]

I'm so fukkin mad that I hope uga loses so I can be even more pissed off

[Purduekev]

I really see Georgia playing a full first half and the first series of the second half with the first team on both sides of the ball before they call off the Dogs (Pun Intended). I am convinced that if that plays out Georgia buries the Jackets and has that spread covered handily. I guess Georgia would be vulnerable to a backdoor cover when they play the reserves but does Tech even score against Georgia's second team? I'm not convinced. Just playing out scenarios.

Do I get a coupon for one free bash about someone else's pick since I posted a play?

Georgia is not a scoring machine right now. A lot of issues at QB, RB, WR.

The value is with GT. I see a 31-17 type of score.

This is exactly why Ga will work hard and long with their offensive starters this week. They will not have the luxury working out wrinkles next week vs Lsu. Ga defense needs no tweeking. Ga in a rout 52 - 13.

Cager hurt his ankle in practice today

[Eddy Munny]

He said he thinks it's a statement game to the committee in case they lose to LSU. What's the committee gonna do, let Georgia waltz into the playoffs with 2 losses because they pounded the Jackets?

Hey Utah, I'm sorry, maybe next year... did you see what the Bulldogs did to Tech?

You might be right. Kinda silly for me to say that. Coming from the guy who said take the Rams when they were down 14 because they would come back to win right fella???

The only way tech sniffs 17 is if the dawgs don’t care. They shouldn’t score 10 for real.

[Otters27]

Oops thought this was for the Basketball vs Chaminade

[Plaza23]

Georgia Tech getting 28 points at home. Vs a team that has scored less than 28 in 7/8 games. I’d take Tech. Georgia only needs to stay healthy and win. Going to be lot of handing the ball off. Tech will have a bit of confidence after beating NC State.

Maybe the committee should take a good long look at Virginia Tech, they smashed GT.... They must be serving something stronger than coffee over in those boardroom meetings, amirite? Good angle there, Foghorn.

[daneblazer]

Georgia hasn’t lost at Georgia Tech since 1999. There are often as many Georgia fans as Tech fans at this game in Atlanta.

Tech will play hard, but they are grossly mismatched. Georgia is going to come
out with a vanilla gameplan and pull the starters as soon as they have a comfortable lead. I don’t know how Tech is going to score, but I can’t lay 4 TD’s either. Stay away game.

if anything take the under. Again

[pavyracer]

Lawrence Cager Georgia's best receiver injured in practice and done for the season.

Georgia could rest starters 2nd half.

I'm hammering GT.

while I agree that UGA is very pedestrian on offense

that defense is very good

how does G-Tech get 17?

if G-Tech scores 17 I guarantee they cover

holy shit

why would you watch this game?

how many tvs you got?

I can’t imagine you not watching Michigan vs Ohio State

Georgia Tech won’t score 17 points

The real question is if PETA will come to save Georgia's bulldog mascot.

Uga X has been the University of Georgia's beloved mascot since 2015. Today, PETA once again called for the English bulldog's retirement.

"HE LOOKS MISERABLE!" according to a tweet from the animal rights organization. "No dog deserves to be packed up, carted from state to state, and paraded in front of a stadium full of screaming fans."

"Being forced into a stadium full of bright lights, screaming fans, and frightening noises is stressful — even terrifying — for sensitive animals like dogs, who would much rather be at home with their loving guardians," PETA said in a letter to the university earlier this year. "The public doesn't want to see animals used as props or forced to perform."

[daneblazer]

UGA lives a better life than 99% of people

[pavyracer]

A lot of schools have dog mascots. Why is PETA only going after Bulldogs? UGA is treated like a king.

LOL - BIG BEAR - I will watch Ohio St game , because I dont have money on the game . I dont watch only the games that I have money on !!

That Tech defense allows around 165 rushing yards per game (105th) plus gives up 4.8 yards per opponents rush attempt (91st). Even if Fromm isn't firing on all cylinders plus the Cager injury I can't help but think Georgia gets in the 40's on the ground with the first team getting them most of the way to that total before exiting for the second team who I think will keep it on the ground and still score points on Tech.

I realize this is a big time square bet on Georgia with this big a number (-28) but I reasoned that Tech can't score more than 10 on that Georgia defense and if Georgia can score 39 plus I'm good. And I think Georgia will score those points with a big day on the ground with a couple Fromm TD passes as well. On a side note, if Fromm is to ever have a chance at a big game to impress NFL teams for the 2020 draft from his very average games so far this would be the game. Setup Tech with a ground game and then throw some play action bombs which should be there throughout the game. Weather good in Atlanta for the outdoor game. It all points to Georgia for me.

My final score prediction: Georgia 45
Georgia Tech 3
