Bold prediction season rolls on.
What are some of the things you believe?
In fact, Zach hit us up.
He's a good example of something that's very, very bold.
We're gonna rate it on a scale of 1 to 10 here.
Uh, Zach from Locust Grove, Georgia said Georgia makes a lot of people look foolish for forgetting about them.
Sidebar, no one's forgotten about Georgia, not a single soul has forgotten about Georgia.
No one's predicting them to go 7 and 5.
No one's disrespecting them, no one's discounting them, so save all that.
Let's get to the prediction.
Zach said Georgia is going to beat Texas, Ole Miss, and Alabama, each by double digits.
They get all three of them at home.
We already got numbers on the game from FanDuel, so they're favored by 4.5 against Bama.
They're favored by 10.5 against Ole Miss.
They're favored by 2.5 against Texas.
You played two of them last year and they beat you on the road.
You beat Texas twice.
You're beating all three of these teams by 10+ this year.
I'm not sure I buy that and you may go 3-0 against them, but I don't think you're beating all of them by 10+.
Those are just, those are really good teams.
So I'm gonna put a 9.25 on that one.
The other thing I think about is I think about Georgia, I think about Kirby, I think about how much he's talked about.
His two deep being filled with first or second year players, a lot of second year players on his two deep, and I think about defensively, how that could bite you, uh, not being able to get to the quarterback enough could bite you when you play coaches like Steve Sarkisian, Lane Kiffin, and Kaelin De Boer because those are the three you just listed.
I just don't think you're running away from all three of them.
You may beat all three of them, but running away from all three of them by 10+, I'm gonna put that at a 9.25.
