Overview
- Kickoff is 7:30 p.m. ET at Sanford Stadium in Athens, televised on ABC with streaming via the ESPN app and Fubo.
- Sportsbooks list Georgia by roughly 6 to 6.5 points after opening near -5, reflecting late money on the Bulldogs.
- ESPN’s matchup predictor gives Georgia a 59.9% chance to win, while SportsLine’s model projects Texas to cover the spread in most simulations.
- Texas’ Arch Manning has shown recent improvement highlighted by Nick Saban, but Texas likely needs a win to preserve strong College Football Playoff positioning.
- Georgia brings dominant home form and last season’s two wins over Texas into the rematch, with the loser risking a significant setback in the SEC race and CFP chase.
