3. Expect big rushing days from both Nick Chubb and Kerryon Johnson

On Saturday, two of the best running backs in the SEC will meet in what can only be described as a dog fight. While both teams have strong defenses, it is definitely going to be a battle of who can be more physical and successful over the four quarters. I expect both players to have success throughout the game, with Nick Chubb edging out Kerryon Johnson just slightly.

Nick Chubb has amassed 867 yards this season. Kerryon Jonhnson is at 868. However, Chubb averages over a yard better per carry than Johnson does. Those numbers will be put to the test on Saturday afternoon as their two teams face off in a game that has surprising implications across the country.

I predict that both Chubb and Johnson surpass 100 yards rushing on the day, though I see Chubb passing the 150 yard mark. Sony Michel will also see field time for the Bulldogs, sitting at 710 yards on the season. He’ll likely rack up at least 50 yards of his own. All three will find the end zone at least once, maybe even twice in what I predict will be an offensive shootout.
