Texas vs. Georgia Key Players to Watch

Gunner Stockton, Quarterback, Georgia Bulldogs

Gunner Stockton is putting together a strong season at Georgia. The junior quarterback is up over 2,000 yards on the season after a 264-yard performance last time out at Mississippi State. 

Stockton threw three touchdown passes in that one, giving him nine touchdowns in the last three games. That brings him up to 15 touchdowns to just two interceptions this season, and he has seven scores on the ground as well.

The Longhorns allowed over 350 passing yards in each of the last two weeks against Vanderbilt and Mississippi State. Stockton might be able to set a season high this week against Texas.

Texas vs. Georgia Prediction and Pick

Texas may have won four in a row, but they haven’t covered since beating Oklahoma 23-6 as -3 favorites to start that streak. 

The Longhorns only beat Kentucky by 3 as -12 favorites and Mississippi State by seven as -8.5 favorites. Both of those games were on the road, where they’re now 2-2 straight up and 0-4 against the spread this season.

On the flip side, Georgia is 4-1 at home and 2-3 against the spread, but covered in each of its last two home games.

Texas might be able to keep this game from getting out of hand, but Georgia will be able to cover at home.

Pick: Georgia -6 (-110)
