Prediction

Dale Zanine-USA TODAY Sports

This is a favorable matchup for Georgia’s defense.

The pro offense scheme that Kentucky plays will allow UGA to load the box and send the STAR, cornerbacks and safeties on a blitzes, or support the run to help stop Chris Rodriguez.

Since Kentucky hasn’t been much of a threat deep, you can expect the Georgia cornerbacks to play bump-and-run.

I expect the Wildcats, like the majority of teams this year, to struggle to put together scoring drives on this Bulldogs defense, which has only allowed six touchdowns in 21 redzone attempts this season.

Georgia’s defense will keep the hot streak going and Stetson Bennett and company will push the ball down the field enough to win this one comfortably.

Prediction: 38-3, Georgia wins, covers and moves to 11-0.
