The No. 2 Texas Longhorns attempt to become the first team to win back-to-back titles in different conferences since they accomplished the feat in 1995-96 when they face the fifth-ranked Georgia Bulldogs in the 2024 SEC Championship Game at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta on Saturday. Texas (11-1, 7-1) is looking to end its first season in the SEC with the conference title after concluding its 28-year residence in the Big 12 last year by capturing the crown. The Longhorns, who defeated Texas A&M 17-7 last weekend for their fifth consecutive victory, won the Southwest Conference championship in 1995 before moving to the Big 12 and taking the title the following year. Georgia (10-2, 6-2) is seeking its 15th SEC crown as it makes its fourth straight appearance in the conference championship game and seventh in eight years. The Bulldogs, who were edged by Alabama 27-24 last year, upset the then-No. 1 Longhorns 30-15 in Texas on Oct. 19.

Kickoff is scheduled for 4 p.m. ET. The Longhorns are 2.5-point favorites in the latest Texas vs. Georgia odds from SportsLine consensus, while the over/under for total points scored is 49.5. Before making any Georgia vs. Texas picks or CFB predictions, you need to see what the SportsLine Projection Model has to say.

The model simulates every FBS college football game 10,000 times. Since its inception, it has generated a profit of well over $2,000 for $100 players on its top-rated college football picks against the spread. It also is a strong 30-19 on all top-rated picks over the past 10 weeks of this season. Anyone who has followed it has seen impressive returns!

The model knows Texas will be eager to avenge its lone loss of the season behind one of the best defensive units in the country. The Longhorns rank first in the nation against the pass (143.7 yards allowed), second in points allowed (11.7) and third in total defense (247.2 yards allowed). Texas has yielded 17 points or fewer in 10 of its 12 games this season, including each of its last four. On the other side of the ball, sophomore running back Quintrevion Wisner has been a force of late, rushing for 158 yards and a touchdown in a 31-14 triumph over Kentucky before setting a career high with 186 yards on the ground in last week's win against the Aggies.

The model also knows that Texas' pass defense will face one of its toughest tests as Georgia is 10th nationally with an average of 297 yards per game through the air. Redshirt senior Carson Beck has amassed 3,429 passing yards and 28 touchdown tosses, ranking eighth in the country in both categories. Beck matched his career high last weekend with five TD passes as the Bulldogs overcame a 17-point deficit to record a 44-42 triumph over Georgia Tech in eight overtimes. Two of those scoring throws went to senior wideout Dominic Lovett, who has recorded three of his six touchdown receptions this year in his last two games.

The model has simulated Georgia vs. Texas 10,000 times and the results are in. We can tell you the model is leaning Over on the total, and it also says one side of the spread hits almost 60% of the time!
