Louisville +6.5

Under 56.5

I agree.  Based on the two common opponents, Clemson and Kentucky, Georgia should handle Louisville for a double digit win.  Only thing that could effect this prediction is if the UGA offensive coordinator leaves for the Colorado State job.  Georgia has been among the top offenses nationally with Bobo calling plays the last three years.  Changing the communication process for offenses can be a big thing in the first game.  Supposed to ne announced on Monday or Tuesday so there is time to react.

I agree.  Based on results with the two common opponents, Clemson and Kentucky, Georgia should cover and win by double digits.  Only fly in the ointment would be if UGA's offensive coordinator gets the Colorado State HC job.  Dawg's offense has been among the best nationally the last three years with Bobo calling plays, changing the communications can be tough on an offense the first game out.  Should know something early next week so I will wait to see.

OVER    56.5

yes, we will see about that...

I think Georgia has a significant talent advantage and after being humbled by Florida and Ga Tech, they will be prepared...

Georgia -6.5

give me Louisville +7  BIG

Never trust teams in bowls completely but this would be a mismatch if held in the regular season, too much talent on UGA's side.  Floyd and McKenzie are out for Georgia which will hurt their pass rush and ST return game; Dwyer is out for Louisville which hurts their running game.  When you look at games against common opponents, Clemson and Kentucky, you see how much better UGA is but they lost their offensive coordinator and play caller so that cuts the advantage down.  I also think Louisville wants to prove they can play with top teams and should come in a little better motivated.

Calling it for the Dawgs -7 to cover on talent alone but just a medium confidence play because of offensive communication with a new play caller working this game.    Better plays coming.  GLTA
