Georgia football vs. Texas early odds and a prediction

Georgia Football and Texas will face off this Saturday at DKR-Texas Memorial Stadium in Austin, TX. This will be the Bulldogs’ seventh game of the season and their fifth game in the SEC.

After a 41-31 win over Mississippi State last weekend, Georgia is 5-1 (3-1) on the season. The Bulldogs are looking to secure bowl eligibility against the No. 1 team in the country, which clearly won’t be an easy task.

Texas enters this game with a perfect record of 6-0 (2-0). Those six wins were all dominant, none bigger than their last win against No. 18 Oklahoma, which they won 34-3.

This matchup has all the hype you could want. A clash between the top five teams at ESPN College Gameday in town is sure to make the college football world sit up and take notice. But when you combine that with a very low point spread, you already know that this game could become a record game.

According to ESPNBet, Georgia is a 3.5-point underdog against Texas at 10:00 p.m. EST on October 13th. The over-under is also set at 56.5 points.

This is the most brokenness I’ve experienced all season. On the one hand, Texas just seems too good even for Georgia to compete against and beat on the road. But at the same time, we all know that Kirby Smart and his team are talented enough to get a win against anyone. It all depends on whether the team can play a full 60 minutes.

It will take all of 60 minutes to beat Texas, and as I sit here writing this at the start of the week, I’m not sure Georgia can do it on the road. If the game were in Athens or at a neutral site I would feel differently, but the fact that the game is in Austin made me choose Texas.

I also think this game will be a shootout and predict the over as well.

Prediction: Texas wins 38-34
