Staff Predictions: 2024 SEC Championship Game

South Carolina's football team might not be playing today, but the SEC Championship game is set to take place. Here are our predictions!

South Carolina's football season may have come to a close, with Shane Beamer now about to embark on his most crucial offseason to date since his arrival in Columbia. If you're looking for a break from all the madness that's ensued with the transfer portal, we've got just the game for you, as No. 1 Georgia takes on No. 8 Alabama in Atlanta for the SEC Championship. Here's the staffs thoughts on how we think the game is going to play out:

Fisher Brewer

I think UGA wins today with the Dawgs' elite defense stepping up, making life difficult for Alabama's star QB Jalen Milroe.

Final Score: Georgia 35 - Alabama 21

Joseph Griffin

I’m picking UGA. Both teams have vulnerabilities the other can exploit. I think Milroe and his legs will cause a problem for UGA, however I think Georgia will be able to have more success on the ground.

Final Score: Georgia 30 - Alabama 24

Georgia has been the most consistent and dominant team in college football over the past couple of years, but I think the Crimson Tide squeaks one out today due largely to Jalen Milroe's scrambling ability on both designed runs and when improvising on busted plays.

Final Score: Alabama 27 - Georgia 24
