Georgia vs. Texas Betting Preview October 19

Another great game on tap for Saturday night as #5 Georgia takes on #1 Texas in the biggest game of Week 8. Texas has yet to lose this year and Georgia’s only loss is to Alabama. Texas is a short favorite by the NCAA odds, but will they be the winning College Football pick?

Georgia is a rare underdog here with the line moving from +3 to +5.

Sagarin gives us a number of 8.3, indicating a nice sized underlay.  The favorite (Texas) definitely has an edge here according to our model.

What's at Stake

The first matchup of top-five teams in Austin since then-No. 2 Texas hosted No. 1 Ohio State in 2006. Georgia needs a win to keep pace with the Longhorns atop the SEC. A second loss would leave the Bulldogs in the danger zone of slipping out of the conference championship, and would mount new pressure on making the expanded College Football Playoff.

Key Matchup

Texas secondary vs. Georgia QB Carson Beck. The Bulldogs' senior is by far the best quarterback the Longhorns have faced the season. Texas smothered freshman starters at Mississippi State and Oklahoma the previous two games. Beck is a preseason All-American, is 18-2 as a starter and 6-2 against top 20 opponents.
