Welcome to the most exciting game of the week. Who could have ever predicted that these would be the final two undefeated teams in the SEC? It’s perfectly fitting that they now have to face each other at Sanford Stadium to basically decide who wins the East.

The Georgia Bulldogs come into this game No. 1 in both polls and dominating everybody. They haven’t allowed more than 13 points all season, and all three touchdowns they have allowed this season have come in the second half with them up by at least three touchdowns. A dominant win over Auburn last week continues to prove Kirby Smart’s team is the real deal.

On the other side, Kentucky, ranked No. 11 in both polls, has been an insane surprise. Mark Stoops’ team just kept squeaking by for wins with a huge one against Florida, and then they dominated LSU. Tennessee football’s brutal four-game stretch coming up involves both of these teams and Alabama.

Prediction

Take the under here. We just brought up Georgia’s defense. Kentucky won’t move the ball at all, but Kentucky’s defense will do enough to get a few stops. As a result, this won’t get anywhere close to 44.5. At the same time, with UGA at home, take them to cover. They won’t allow a touchdown in this game once again and will finally expose Kentucky.

Georgia: 27 Kentucky: 3 (Georgia -21.5; Under 44.5)
