00:00Saturday night in Athens that's where Paul will be as the Georgia Bulldogs take on the Texas

00:05Longhorns with Georgia being five and a half point favorites total 48 and a half I mean I honestly

00:12Paul didn't think Texas had a shot if we're going back a month a month and a half ago after watching

00:17them play but they really have done a good job staying in this thing their quarterback has

00:21obviously played much better their coaching seems to be getting a little bit more on point to put

00:26him in better situations too but we know how good Georgia is at home almost impossible to beat

00:31let's go through the matchup and tell me who you like in this one I'll tell you I think Georgia now

00:3651 and 2 straight up at Sanford Stadium their last 53 home games and that includes a home defeat

00:44to Alabama this year I believe so they're pretty good between the hedges and on Saturday between

00:49the hedges in Athens the game that I'll be attending Georgia is actually going to be going for their

00:54third victory over the Texas Longhorns in a span of just under 400 days you'll remember last year

01:01they won the regular season battle there in Austin 30 to 15 then later defeated the Longhorns 22 to 19

01:08for the SEC championship there in Atlanta they were a five point underdog in Austin they were a three

01:14point underdog there in Atlanta so they're going to be going for the trifecta Saturday night in Athens

01:20they're going to be wearing the favorites tag this time around however Georgia currently a consensus

01:25six point favorite you know I think they're going to get the job done I'm a Texas guy wearing a Texas

01:31hat but I still like Georgia here since they lost at home to Alabama 24-21 back on September 27th

01:39they've rolled off five straight victories covered the spread in four of those their quarterback first

01:44year starting quarterback Gunnar Stockton he's really developed especially as a passer some people

01:49who questioned his ability to be a top five passer in the SEC and I think he's done quite well

01:55a balanced attack 199 yards average on the ground 240 through the air versus FBS opponents so a really good

02:04Georgia offense Texas kind of hanging on by life support like you said we figured they'd be gone by now

02:10but they just have really struggled on the road in their last two SEC games barely hung on to be both

02:16Kentucky and Mississippi State on the road beat Kentucky by three Mississippi State by seven both those games

02:24going to overtime now they got to go to Georgia Texas defense shown a little leakage in the last couple of games

02:31against Mississippi State and Vanderbilt giving up 69 points 868 yards combined in those two games

02:38I like the dogs minus six over the Longhorns
