Georgia is a slight favorite despite not having quarterback Carson Beck available for the Sugar Bowl.
Backup Gunner Stockton, who played in the second half of the SEC Championship Game, will start against Notre Dame.
Georgia’s offense was inconsistent at times with Beck at the helm, and while it looked better with Stockton a few weeks ago, that is still a small sample size to base the Sugar Bowl performance off of.
Defensively, UGA let up its share of points, most notably a 41-point concession to the Alabama Crimson Tide and 28 points from the Ole Miss Rebels on November 9.
Notre Dame has been one of the most consistent teams in the FBS since its Week 2 loss to the Northern Illinois Huskies.
Marcus Freeman’s team is on a run of eight consecutive double-digit wins. Its allowed over 20 points just twice and only once has the Irish scored less than 20.
Georgia might have the edge in playoff experience, but Notre Dame, at least on paper, is the more reliable team to trust in New Orleans.
