The Georgia Bulldogs are once again a popular pick to win the SEC East and make the playoffs, and their road will start here against an SEC opponent. The Bulldogs return a ton of key talent on both sides of the ball, and the offense should once again be a borderline top-10 unit as Jake Fromm is a potential 1st overall pick in the coming draft. The Commodores have constantly been looked at as one of the worst teams in the SEC, and they lost their top players on both sides of the ball which will lead to an unfavorable result here. Final Score Prediction, Georgia Bulldog win and cover ATS 42-17.
