Georgia Bulldogs
The Bulldogs were fortunate to get past Ohio State in the College Football Playoff semifinal. Head coach Kirby Smart pretty much said as much after the game, as the Bulldogs were outplayed for much of the contest. He said his team will have to play much better than they did against the Buckeyes if they are to beat TCU in the title game. The vaunted Georgia defense was a disgrace against Ohio State, as the Buckeyes moved the ball almost at will. If the Buckeyes had not lost top receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. in the third quarter to injury, they likely would have won the game. Even with Harrison out, the Bulldogs still struggled to contain the Buckeyes. The Georgia offense was able to make some big plays late in the game and quarterback Stetson Bennett led the team to the comeback victory. The Bulldogs are getting a lot of respect from the oddsmakers, as Georgia is nearly a two-touchdown favorite in the title game. It is the largest pointspread in a title game during the College Football Playoff era. Georgia hasn’t been anything special against the spread this season, as they are just 7-7 ATS. The Bulldogs put up just over 39 points per game this season, 11th in the country and they are giving up just about 13 points per game. Bennett has thrown for just over 3,400 yards this season and he has some talented players around him including tight end Brock Bowers who looks like a future NFL star and running back Kenny McIntosh.
TCU Horned Frogs
The Horned Frogs proved to everyone that they were no fluke, as they not only beat Michigan, they dominated the Wolverines. The final score really didn’t indicate how the College Football Playoff semifinal went, as TCU rolled out to a big lead and then held on. There is no question that TCU has one of the top offenses in the country and if the Georgia defense doesn’t play better than it did against Ohio State then the Horned Frogs have a chance to win the title. TCU has been a good team to bet on this season, as they are 10-3-1 ATS. The Horned Frogs averaged just over 40 points per game this season, which ranked 6th in the country. Their defense was also good, as they gave up only 25 points per game and that ranked just outside the top 50 in the country. Quarterback Max Duggan threw for more than 3,500 yards this season, while wide receiver Quentin Johnson looks like a future NFL star, as he had over 1,000 receiving yards this season. TCU can also run the ball, as Kendre Miller had nearly 1,400 yards this season.
