Predictions for college football’s Championship Week
No. 14 LSU vs No. 1 Georgia (-17.5) 4 PM EST (CBS)
This Championship Week matchup lost a lot of its luster when LSU was upset by Texas A&M last week but an SEC championship is an SEC championship.
The Tigers will be plenty motivated and will have a chance for a huge win. No one expected Brian Kelly to win the SEC in his first year as head coach and beating No. 1 Georgia would make it even sweeter.
That being said, I don’t see it happening. Georgia has been dominant this season and at times, has even looked a little bored. But after losing the SEC title game last season, the Tigers have will have the full attention of the Bulldogs.
Stetson Bennett will also have a stellar day. He will outshine Jayden Daniels and will continue to make his case for being a Heisman finalist, which will likely fall on deaf ears. One thing that shouldn’t is that I would take the Bulldogs with the points and not think twice.
Score: Georgia 45, LSU 20
