3. Georgia's defense gets four sacks

Georgia getting four sacks in any one game will always be challenging, but for a defense as talented as Georgia's it doesn't seem like this should count as a "bold" prediction. But when they are going up against as good of an offense as Tech's is when it comes to not allowing sacks, then it's quite easy to see how difficult this will be.

Georgia Tech is the No. 2 team in the country this season in this department as they have only given up five sacks all year. Some of this may have to do with their style of play as they like to run the ball a fair amount. But still, only giving up five sacks after 11 games is a wildly impressive stat.

But the UGA defense will be ready to change that. The Bulldogs will be playing behind a very rowdy Georgia crowd which will help cause confusion for Georgia Tech's offense and specifically their offensive line. This confusion will cause the Yellow Jackets to blow assignments and allow Georgia to have a couple easy sacks, which will end up totaling at least four by the end of the game.
