Texas Longhorns vs. Georgia Bulldogs Prediction
I’m on the Georgia Bulldogs here. I get the case to be made for the Longhorns and the points, but I think that the Bulldogs are still a quality team and I don’t love this spot for the Longhorns with Florida on deck. I think the Bulldogs are a stronger version of themselves at home and I think the Bulldogs get it done here. Give me Georgia.
