There is an exciting Week 8 Southeastern Conference game that could be the center of the college football world as the No. 5 Georgia Bulldogs are on the road and take on the top-ranked Texas Longhorns at DKR-Texas Memorial Stadium on Saturday.
This will be the first time these programs will face off as conference foes and it could mean a lot in terms of both the SEC Championship Game and the College Football Playoff.
The Bulldogs (5-1, 3-1 SEC) are on a two-game winning streak after a 41-31 home win over the Mississippi State Bulldogs. The Longhorns, (6-0, 2-0) meanwhile, are undefeated and coming off a 34-3 neutral-site victory against the No. 18 Oklahoma Sooners. Texas is the early favorite, but this should be a close matchup as these are two of the top teams in the nation.
Georgia vs. Texas: Score prediction for Week 8
Sports Illustrated has its analytical model that predicts the scores of college football games, and this massive SEC game is no exception. SP+ projects that the Texas Longhorns will win by a projected score of 30-27. That means this game should remain close throughout and could be a bit of a toss-up.
The key to this game for Georgia is to improve defensively and lock up Quinn Ewers, as he has the arm that could torch defenses. For the Longhorns, it is to dominate the time of possession with their high-octane offense and their 7.2 yards per play throughout the course of the regular season.
Georgia vs. Texas: Point spread prediction
According to the model, the best bet that you can make would be the Georgia Bulldogs +3.5, as the projected score has this game with Texas winning by three points.
What time is the Georgia vs. Texas game on?
The game will be aired on ABC Network for people watching on linear television. However, the game will also be available to be streamed on ESPN+, YouTube TV, Hulu + Live Sports, Fubo TV, Sling TV and DirecTV Stream.
