Buffaloes will host the Georgia Bulldogs in an important non-conference game for both teams. Georgia desperately needs a win this weekend, as they fell to 1-3 on the season after losing at Mississippi State 12-24. Colorado got an early bye last week, and come into the game with wins over Hawaii and Colorado State, but also have a big time loss at home to California 7-52. This is only the second meeting between the two schools, with Georgia grabbing the only win 14-13 at home in 2006. If you are thinking about betting on the game this weekend, the current college football odds have the Bulldogs favored by 4.5-points over the Buffaloes on the road.Georgia (1-3, 0-3 SEC): With the last loss against Mississippi State the Bulldogs found themselves in a huge hole in conference play, as they have already lost three conference games. The seat is getting very hot for head coach Mark Richt, as he wonmake it through the season if the Bulldogs donstart winning. Georgia really killed themselves against Mississippi State, as they fumbled the ball twice, including once just a yard from a touchdown, and had numerous penalties that really hurt them, as they actually outgained the Rebels 387 to 314.The Bulldogs got a solid performance out of quarterback Aaron Murray, who threw for 274 yards and a touchdown on 18 of 31 passing. Murray also ran for 32 yards on seven carries. There is no question that Murray and the offense miss the play of star wide receiver A.J. Green, who is expected to make his return Reebok Green Bay Packers #52 Clay Matthews Realtree camo Jersey
this week against Colorado. I expect Green to make an immediate impact once he steps on the field, and I think we could see Georgia roll off a few wins in a row to get back to above .500.Colorado (2-1, 0-0 Big 12): The Buffaloes will finish up their non-conference portion of the schedule this week. While Colorado comes in with a winning record, there is still a lot of room for improvement for this team. The Buffaloes got off to a slow start against Hawaii in their last game, as they trailed 10-0 at half, before pouring on 31 points in the final two periods of play.Quarterback Tyler Hansen had a pretty nice day throwing the football, completing 19 of 26 attempts for 200 yards and two touchdowns. The Buffaloes however did most of their damage on the ground, as they ran for 252 yards as a team. Brian Lockridge accounted for 109 yards on 14 carries, and Rodney Stewart had 106 yards and two touchdowns on 22 attempts. It will be interesting to see if the Buffaloes can have that same kind of success against a solid SEC defense like Georgia.Looking at the Odds: With Green back in the mix for the Bulldogs, I think you have to take Georgia to cover the 4.5-point spread in this game. Green will force Colorado to put more attention on him, which I believe will help out Reebok Indianapolis Colts 18 Peyton Manning Realtree camo Jersey
the running game as well as the other receivers. I think Colorado is going to really struggle to move the ball against the Georgia defense. My final score prediction is Georgia 27, Colorado 17.Interested in making some money this college football season?
