Georgia needs This Win
Georgia already has one win on the season and they can’t suffer another loss here. Even though Georgia won the last game, a team that has such a proud defense gave up 31 points to a Mississippi State team that has only one win this year. Carson Beck threw for plenty of yards, but the turnovers were an issue. Beck completed 36 of his 48 passes for 459 yards, three touchdowns, and two interceptions. Wide receiver Arian Smith was good finishing with five catches for 134 yards and a touchdown.
Georgia on the season is averaging 33.5 points while their defense is giving up 17.2 points per game. The offense is ranked 35th in the league while the defense is ranked 20th in the league. In this game, Georgia needs to get the offense out to a fast start.
Texas Continues to Dominate
Texas comes into this game with a 6-0 record and they are coming off another dominant victory in the last game. Texas faced off against Oklahoma in the last game and they were able to secure the 34-3 victory. Quinn Ewers had some rust early but he finished the game throwing for 199 yards, one touchdown, and one interception. Quintrevion Wisner finished with 13 carries for 118 yards and a touchdown.
Texas on the season is averaging 43.2 points while their defense is giving up 6.33 points per game. The offense is ranked 7th in the league while the defense is ranked 1st in the league. In this game, the defense is going to need to be good again.
Why Texas Will Beat Georgia
- Texas has won each of its last nine games against conference opponents.
- Georgia has failed to cover the spread in each of its last five games against conference opponents.
- Texas has covered the spread in five of its last six games.
Georgia vs Texas Prediction
I am not sold on this Texas team being all that good, and they aren’t going to find success in this game. Texas has had an elite defense and in the last game, they gave up only three points. Carson Beck is going to throw a couple of interceptions again and that will be the difference here. Back Texas against the spread.
