- Georgia defeated Mississippi State last week, winning 41-31, and climbing to 5-1.
- Texas smothered Oklahoma at AT&T Stadium, defeating them by a score of 34-3.
- These two teams last faced off on January 1, 2019, in a game that Texas won 28-21.
The Bulldogs and the Longhorns face off in a crucial top-5 SEC bout. Our Georgia vs Texas prediction involves the #1 Longhorns proving themselves once again. After a triumphant win against Oklahoma, they are red-hot.
Georgia Faces Uphill Battle on Road
After failing to achieve the three-peat last season, Georgia entered this year back on top of the AP rankings. Unfortunately, they have not looked as dominant this season. After strong wins over Clemson and Tenn Tech, the Bulldogs narrowly defeated Kentucky by just one point. They walked into a barnstorm loss against rival Alabama and have since posted uninspiring results against Auburn and Mississippi St. Now facing the team that took over the #1 spot, Georgia finds themselves in a rare position as 5-point underdogs against Texas.
Texas Fights to Stay on Top
The Longhorns are the best team in football at the midway point of the season. Their transition to the SEC has been buttery smooth, with Texas currently expected to win the conference. They’ve outscored their six victims 259-38, which equates to an average score of 43-6. Two of those wins came against ranked teams, Michigan and Oklahoma, both away from home. Georgia provides the toughest test of the season for the Longhorns, as well as an opportunity to establish themselves as the clear best team. Their defense will frustrate Carson Beck.
Georgia vs Texas Prediction: Longhorns Lay Down the Law
At the beginning of the season, I would have been much more skeptical of Texas’ chances of beating Georgia in this game. A lot has changed since then, with the Longhorns weathering the storm of an injury to QB Quinn Ewers while staying undefeated and beating two top-25 teams. On the other hand, Georgia has not looked like the same team that dominated college football over the past few years. Texas should win this game at home.
