Final Tally
Georgia has the slight edge in these predictions 10-7. This makes a lot of sense considering Georgia is only a 2.5 point favorite against the Rebels, so even Vegas could see this game going either way.
Can Georgia come out on top and take control of their path to the SEC Championship game and College Football Playoffs? That remains to be seen. But a win in this game would go a long ways in accomplishing both goals.
