Western Kentucky vs Georgia Pick

Georgiaโ€™s elite defense should completely overwhelm Western Kentucky and prevent the Hilltoppers from establishing any sustained offensive success. The Bulldogs will dominate the trenches and should consistently give their offense excellent field position. Look for Georgia to build a comfortable lead early and roll to the easy home win and cover on Saturday.
