Georgia and Texas are set for a reunion in the SEC Championship Game. Here’s what the oddsmakers are predicting for the matchup from Atlanta.

Georgia needed eight overtimes to finally put away rival Georgia Tech last week, and should have a place in the College Football Playoff regardless of what happens this weekend.

Likewise for the Longhorns, but they want to avenge their only loss of the season, when as the No. 1 team in the nation, succumbed to the Bulldogs at home a few weeks ago.

What do the wiseguys expect will happen when the Bulldogs and Longhorns meet this weekend?

Let’s check in with the latest prediction for Georgia vs. Texas in the SEC Championship Game, according to the oddsmakers.

Spread consensus pick, score prediction

A strong majority of bettors expect the Longhorns to avenge their loss to the Bulldogs, according to the latest spread consensus picks for the game.

Texas is getting 69 percent of bets to cover the narrow point spread and win the SEC Championship Game.

The other 31 percent of wagers project Georgia will either win the game outright in an upset, or keep the margin under 3 points in a loss.

The game’s implied score suggests a narrow victory for the Longhorns over the Bulldogs.

When taking the point spread and total into consideration, it’s implied that Texas will defeat Georgia by a projected score of 26 to 23.

Our early pick: Texas -2.5 ... Georgia’s secondary has proven vulnerable to better skill threats and the Longhorns’ defensive line should be able to rattle Carson Beck’s cage enough to cover this narrow line.
