3. The Georgia defense records five sacks

Similarly to my previous prediction with Georgia's passing game, I think the Bulldogs' defense will be ready to feast this weekend. Specifically the defensive line who I think will get after the Mississippi State QB early and often.

So far this season the Bulldogs' defense has accumulated 11 sacks this season, but they haven't eclipsed three in one game. They even had zero sacks against Alabama two weeks ago.

But I think Georgia will rack up sacks early in the game when Mississippi State is rattled and struggling to settle into the game. Then as the game progresses, MSU will have to pass the ball more to try and catch up which only presents more opportunities for UGA to pin their ears back and go after the quarterback.

So even though Georgia hasn't surpassed three sacks in one game yet this year, I think they will set a season high and reach at least five on Saturday.
