Georgia football has three regular-season games remaining, and on paper, it looks like the Dawgs could finish the season with a perfect 12-0 record.
After the 10-7 Clemson game, it was evident this Georgia squad had something unique about them.
Then Georgia ran over UAB and South Carolina — causing people to raise eyebrows at that defense.
The Dawgs followed it up by forcing back-to-back SEC shutouts against Vanderbilt and Arkansas. While our initial game-by-game prediction article suggested they would beat them, no one had two shutouts on their bingo cards.
Georgia moved to Auburn, and on the roads in one of the harshest SEC environments, the Dawgs ran over the Tigers. Kentucky challenged the Dawgs, but not enough for Georgia to get concerned.
Florida tried, but those three turnovers in two minutes were just what the Dawgs ordered for a spooky blowout in Jacksonville.
Last week the Dawgs were a bit sluggish but still beat Missouri by five touchdowns.
Georgia football is on the warpath. Here are updated predictions for the final three regular-season games.
No one has challenged the Dawgs. Through nine games, they average 38.4 points a game and give up 6.56 points.
Georgia averages 190 rushing, 240 passing and 430 total offensive yards a game, including a 6.9 yard average per play.
On both sides of the ball, the Dawgs show the world they are a force to be reckoned with, and they will stop at nothing until the national championship trophy is in their hands.
It’s wild to think the Dawgs have gotten past all of the tests so far this season, in Week 1 against Clemson, a couple of weeks ago against Florida, Kentucky, Arkansas and Auburn.
Now there is one more on Saturday as the Dawgs travel to a hostile Knoxville environment where golf balls and mustard fall from the sky and Tennessee fans will be loud.
Then they’ll return for one final home game before heading to Atlanta for some clean old fashion hate.
Since the Dawgs have shocked the college football world by dominating, here are the updated predictions for the final three regular-season games.
Georgia Football: Week 10 at Tennessee
- Venue: Neyland Stadium @ 3:30 p.m.
- City: Knoxville, Tenn.
- Overall Record: Georgia leads 25-23-2
- Last meeting: Georgia won 44-21
On Saturday, Georgia football will take on the Vols in Knoxville, marking the final regular-season SEC game for the Dawgs.
The Dawgs may have already clinched the SEC East title, and this game is historic. Georgia is trying to go a perfect 8-0 in SEC play for the first time in school history.
Since 2017, head coach Kirby Smart and his teams have gone 26-2 against SEC East foes, with those two losses being from South Carolina and Florida.
Tennessee beat Georgia in 2016 on that dreaded final second Hail Mary touchdown, but since then, the Dawgs have dominated the Vols.
While Tennessee has a lot of confidence coming into this week and an offense to match it, the Vols haven’t seen anything like this Georgia defense.
The Vols currently average 38.2 points, 217.1 rushing yards, 240.56 passing and 457.7 total offensive yards. They average 6.5 yards a play and have a quarterback that can cause problems in Hendon Hooker.
However, Georgia’s defense is the No.1 SEC defense and the No.2 total defense in the country for a reason — they suffocate opponents.
Even though last week’s numbers hurt the Dawgs a bit, they still average, giving up 6.56 points, 80.7 rushing, 151.11 passing, and 231.8 total offensive yards a game. Teams average just 3.8 yards a play, 2.6 yards a rush, and 5.06 yards a pass.
Each team that plays the Dawgs have had decent offenses with a few exceptions, but Georgia’s defense doesn’t care. They handle their business and bully opponents — it’s what they do.
Tennessee may be the last test to see how this defense can handle explosiveness, but these Dawgs will be ready for a battle, and they want to make history this season, so good luck. It could be a long day for the Volunteers.
Between Stetson Bennett and JT Daniels, these two guys can beat the Volunteers. They just must be aware of a few playmakers on defense. However, whoever wins this game will have the better rushing stats.
Score Prediction: Georgia wins 45-7
Georgia football: Week 11 vs. Charleston Southern
- Date: Nov. 20 @ 12 p.m.
- Venue: Sanford Stadium
- City: Athens, GA
- Overall Record: Georgia leads 1-0
- Last meeting: Georgia won 55-9, 2014
The last home game of the year for Georgia football will be against Charleston Southern at noon.
While this game will be the fourth nooner for the Dawgs, it isn’t surprising that this matchup is that early. Georgia will handle their business against the Bucs.
Charleston Southern is currently 3-5 on the season and plays Gardner-Webb on Saturday, Nov. 13, ahead of their trip to Athens.
While the Bucs have struggled this season, this matchup will not be one that Georgia can overlook or cruise through.
They need to maintain as much focus as possible because these cupcake games can be closer than folks like — hello, Georgia Southern game a few years ago.
Georgia needs to stick to the game plan and win in a big way. The committee isn’t going to take them out of the No.1 spot unless they lose, but another blowout win and maybe a shutout will be better on the resume than allowing the Bucs to keep it close.
If Georgia is a true national title contender, this game will be an easy one to win. They will come out, the offense will be explosive, and the defense will be elite.
Charleston Southern doesn’t have the depth Georgia does, so that they may stick around for the first half, but in the second, the Dawgs will pull away and win by four-plus touchdowns — depending on how generous head coach Kirby Smart is feeling that day.
Score Prediction: Georgia wins 62-0
Georgia football: Week 12 at Georgia Tech
- Venue: Bobby Dodd Stadium
- City: Atlanta, GA
- Overall Record: Georgia leads 68-39-5
- Last meeting: Georgia won 52-7, 2019
It’s been a while since Georgia football took on their in-state rivals, as the two didn’t play last season because of the whole COVID-19 football season.
However, that doesn’t mean head coach Kirby Smart and his team will take this game lightly.
Georgia Tech is currently 3-6 overall and 2-5 in conference play. They’ve got Boston College and Notre Dame before the “Clean Old Fashioned Hate” week.
While they gave Clemson a run for their money earlier this season, the Yellow Jackets have been less impressive.
Geoff Collins is implementing a new culture and system in Atlanta, but those things take time and a few years to happen.
This game will end up seeing more red in their stadium than Gold and Navy, but it’s still one of the rivalry games that the Dawgs shouldn’t take lightly.
As long as Georgia remains focused, they should beat the Yellow Jackets pretty handily and possibly give the Dawgs their 11th straight blowout victory in a row.
Georgia Tech will, of course, be looking to upset the Dawgs and try to spoil a potential perfect season, but Georgia will not allow that.
This team is so focused on achieving the main goal, and they treat each week like it’s an individual national championship — so they won’t be overlooking Tech. Instead, they’ll treat it like this decides whether or not we go into the conference championship week as the No.1 team or not.
If Georgia wins this one handily, they will have accomplished something historic because it’s been a long time since the Dawgs were undefeated at this time in a season.
This game would give these seniors a 4-0 record against the Yellow Jackets, giving them another incentive just to dominate them. No one wants to lose to their in-state rivals, especially in this circumstance.
Georgia handles their first business trip to Atlanta with ease and gets win No.12.
Score Prediction: 42-3
Georgia football is three games away from finishing with a perfect 12-0 record and seeing the end of a long drought. The Dawgs have nothing to lose but everything to gain this season as they are within reach of ending 41 years of falling short and heartache. Could this be the Dawgs year?
