Georgia football is ready for their next test this season as they enter non-conference play once again and welcome UMass to Athens on Saturday. This game will be the easiest game of the season for Georgia considering UMass only has two wins so far this year, but the Bulldogs are fighting for their College Football Playoff lives, so they can't afford to miss a beat.

But before the game gets here, let's give some bold predictions and see if any of them will come true this week.

1. Georgia holds UMass to zero points

It doesn't matter who the opponent is, holding them to zero points is a difficult thing to do. So even though Georgia is one of the best teams in the country this season and UMass has only won two games, holding them to zero points will be extremely challenging.

However, this Georgia defense is definitely more than capale. Just last week they held Tennessee, who has one of the best offense in the country, to zero points in the second half. They also nearly held Clemson scoreless earlier this season as well. So it wouldn't be all that surprising if they pulled this off.

In this game however, Georgia's backups will get a lot of playing time in the second half, so this is when UMass will likely be able to move the ball just enough to get in field goal range and put three points on the board. But Georgia's backups will do just well enough to prevent this from happening.
