LSU Wire: Georgia 31. LSU 13

Tyler Nettuno writes: "The Tigers’ best chance is Georgia laying an egg given the fact that it is probably in the CFP regardless of the outcome of this game. But given the fact that the Bulldogs came up short in the SEC title game last year, I expect them to be motivated this time around."

OddsChecker: Take LSU with the points vs. Georgia

Jason Radowitz writes: "If LSU is healthy, they'll keep this game competitive. With the optimism surrounding Daniels' health, I'll back LSU to cover a 17.5 spread in a championship game. LSU has plenty of talent to keep this game close."

Fansided: Go with Georgia to cover vs. LSU

Reed Wallach writes: "Georgia's defense is the best unit in the country on either side of the ball, and should have little issue shutting down LSU's above average offense that may be a shell of itself with the dual threat Daniels not a threat to use his legs. Daniels has rushed for over 800 yards and has 11 touchdowns on the ground. I'll side with the Bulldogs to make this look routine once again, en route to another College Football Playoff appearance."

Sports Chat Place: Georgia will not cover vs. LSU

Chris Ruffolo writes: "Part of me wonders if maybe, just maybe the Tigers got caught looking ahead at the hands of Texas A&M last week. Either way, as much as I like the Georgia Bulldogs, this is just far too many points for me to pass on with LSU who has had a tendency to rise up in some of the bigger games this season. I think Georgia wins this game by a couple of scores, but this just feels like too many points. Give me LSU."

It writes: "LSU had already wrapped up the SEC West when losing to Texas A&M on Saturday but it does not bode well for the Tigers as they enter the SEC title game against the undefeated Georgia Bulldogs on Saturday. Georgia finished the season with the best defense in the nation against points allowed at 11.3 points per game and was 12th best in scoring with an average of 38.3 points per game. Georgia wins the SEC title game on Saturday and will head to the College Football Playoff as the favorite."
