First, I don't have a final prediction for you. I will be looking to live bet the game once one team gets down and the line goes to 8.5-10 for either side and then taking the dog
I think the final score will be less than a TD and I can see either team winning.
I do think the game will go over and finish somewhere around 30-26. I know a lot of folks are expecting a low scoring game and if this during the regular season, I would likely agree. However since this the championship game, I do think the sense of urgency will be there and will build and each team will go faster on offense than normal and take more chances. This will lead to more turnovers, rapid changes in field position and big plays.
1st quarter
I like the Bulldogs to come out pretty strong both on offense and defense. I think we all remember their deer in headlights look last week against Oklahoma and they will not repeat that. I like taking UGA +1/2 1st quarter but small at best as we don't know how the coin flip will go.
2nd Quarter
First significant wager I have is the 2nd quarter over 13 points. I definitely think both teams will open it up this quarter and both will score a TD and I would not be surprised if they get 20-24 combined.
3rd Quarter- I expect both teams to continue at a fast pace and for turnovers to happen in this quarter. I took Fromm over .5 interceptions as I think he will throw one this quarter. I also expect the stars to shine from this point on and for Ridley to become a factor. I have him over 4.5 receptions.
4th Quarter should be a fantastic finish with quite a few fireworks as the game comes down to the final drive. I took the 4th quarter over 10.5 points as I like both teams to score TD's and more in the final quarter.
To recap, I like the following sides
- Game total over 45.5
- 2nd Quarter over 13
- Fromm interceptions over .5
- Ridley over 4.5 catches
- 4th Quarter over 10.5
