Game Preview: Georgia Bulldogs @ Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets
Once viewed as a possible College Football Playoff play-in game, this year’s edition of Clean, Old-Fashioned Hate now features one team surging toward the postseason and another playing for pride and bragging rights. The Georgia Bulldogs will travel across the state to face the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets on Friday afternoon in Atlanta.
While Georgia Tech saw its CFP and ACC Championship hopes all but vanish after a stunning 42-28 loss to Pitt last weekend, the Yellow Jackets still have one final shot to shake up the playoff picture — by knocking off their bitter rival. Georgia, meanwhile, comes in at 10-1 and ranked No. 4, winners of seven straight and aiming for a fifth straight CFP appearance.

Georgia Outlook
The Bulldogs are rolling. Winners of seven in a row and led by the steady hand of quarterback Gunner Stockton, Georgia has its sights set on another SEC Championship appearance — and a return to the College Football Playoff. Stockton has thrown for 2,465 yards and 19 touchdowns and leads the team in rushing scores with eight.
Kirby Smart’s defense is once again among the SEC’s best, and despite needing some help to lock in their spot in Atlanta, Georgia is a double-digit road favorite for good reason. The Bulldogs have not lost to Georgia Tech since 2016, Smart’s first season in Athens.
Georgia Tech Outlook
Brent Key and the Yellow Jackets had bigger plans before last week’s loss to Pitt. Georgia Tech fell behind 28-0 early and never recovered, spoiling what could have been a play-in opportunity for the ACC title game and perhaps even the CFP.
Despite the letdown, there’s plenty on the line this week. Quarterback Haynes King had been playing at a Heisman-worthy level before his multi-interception game last Saturday. Still, his toughness and dual-threat ability make him a threat to any defense, including Georgia’s. Key knows his team still has something to prove — especially after nearly shocking the Bulldogs last year in a wild 44-42 eight-overtime loss.

Predictions
The Yellow Jackets have plenty of fight, and Haynes King has the ability to challenge Georgia’s secondary. But the Bulldogs are simply too deep and too balanced to slip up this late in the year — especially with CFP stakes still looming.

Spread Pick: Georgia -12.5
