The Georgia Bulldogs and Cincinnati Bearcats are set to visit Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, Georgia for a matchup in the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl. The Georgia Bulldogs come into this matchup with a 7-2 record, and they will be looking to continue their success after winning their recent road game against the Missouri Tigers, 49-14. QB JT Daniels had a big game through the air for Georgia as he threw for 299 yards and 3 TDs. WR George Pickens was the top target for Daniels and the Bulldogs as he hauled in 5 catches for 126 yards and 2 TDs.

The Georgia Bulldogs were good on the defensive side of the ball against the Missouri Tigers as they held them to 14 points and a total of 200 yards of defense. DB Lewis Cine led the way for the Georgia defense with 4 tackles and 1 pass breakup. The secondary had a productive outing for the Bulldogs as CB Eric Stokes hauled in an interception while DB Latavious Brini had 1.5 TFLs.

The Cincinnati Bearcats come into this matchup with a 9-0 record, and they will be looking to continue their success after winning their recent game against the Tulsa Golden Hurricane in the AAC Championship Game, 27-24. QB Desmond Ridder had a solid game for the Bearcats as he threw for 269 yards and 1 TD while also adding 83 rushing yards and a TD. WR Alec Pierce was the top target for Ridder and the Bearcats as he hauled in 5 catches for 146 yards and a TD.

The Cincinnati Bearcats were solid on the defensive side of the ball against the Tulsa Golden Hurricane as they held them to 24 points and a total of 332 yards of offense. LB Joel Dublanko led the way for the Cincinnati defense with 8 tackles and 2 QB Hurries. The Bearcats were able to force turnovers against the Golden Hurricane as LB Darrian Beavers and LB Jarell White both hauled in interceptions.

This should be an interesting game as the Cincinnati Bearcats feel they were ripped off after going undefeated and missing out on the CFB Playoffs, and they will be on a mission to prove their worth against one of the better SEC teams. The Bearcats have one of the best defenses in the country as they are holding their opponents to an average of 16 PPG, and it will be interesting to see how they contain the JT Daniels led offense. The Georgia Bulldogs have been much better since their loss to Florida, but the question is will they take this game as serious as a hungry Bearcats team. QB Desmond Ridder is explosive for Cincinnati, and I like him and the defense to lead this team to a big time upset. Final Score Prediction, Cincinnati Bearcats win and cover ATS 24-20.
