    What person, outside of Indiana, is calling for Georgia to lose to ND? Georgia has much more talent...If the Dawgs lose to these guys it's going to be a long year......However personally I still think we are a year away from a playoff birth...most of that is our O line.....I see the Dawgs going at least 10-2 this year, winning the SEC east and going to a major bowl in 2017.....more than that in 2018.

    Plenty of oddsmakers are saying that we are going to lose in south bend. Kind of sad honestly.

    Heard on satellite radio that Wimbush ND qb has all the potential to be a star. Trevor Matich was the guest don't know how much stock I put in analysis but he said the ND offense has the potential to be unstoppable with no weaknesses.

    18' is just a photo negative of 17'.. if Eason and Chaney don't make a huge jump, and our D isn't top 3 in sec.. then I just don't know if Kirby can develop.. nobody but bama, fsu, and Ohio state have our blue chip ratio.. no more next year.. the same people saying next year, will be saying in 18', just wait til 19' when Fromm is in there and the sicem 17' class are juniors! Watch!

    East or bust this year.. unless we look great, but just have bad luck, luck always plays a roll

    Yep, 2 years away syndrome just needs to go away.

    I follow vegas odds.

    I checked some Heisman odds from an online site about two months ago and Wimbush was around 65-1 about 2 months ago.

    These odds are no longer available and I haven't seen Wimbush on a Heisman list since but clearly he is perceived as a really good player.

    ND is -3. This means Vegas thinks ND and GA are equally matched. The points awarded to ND are due to home field advantage.

    Two key factors:

    1 - The point of odds are to bring in even money. If you get 10 million on ND, you want 10 million on GA. The house makes money either way with the vig or juice.

    2 - A true sharp (a really good sports bettor) won't bet the opening week.
    Just because GA is an underdog, doesn't mean they are likely to lose. There is simply too much uncertainty and volatility this early.

    The one takeaway- ND will be UGA's first true test on the national stage. They must win this game. Their likelihood of winning or losing at this point isn't defined by odds.

    FYI - You don't need to join an online book or google for odds. If interested, apps (for smartphones) like Yahoo sports will have them available.

    Specialty apps that follow line changes are overkill for a casual sports fan.

    @BigDawgBrink so you expect guys who have never played a snap in college come in and start and dominate in a conference built on the trenches. At WR I don't see a true #1 maybe one will show up. On the plus side the schedule paves the way for UGA to have a good schedule, dont play any of the big dogs in the west. That being said UGA didn't play any big dogs from the west last year and didnt win the East.

    There have been many examples of freshmen coming in and having very goods years on the OL. There was this guy named Stinchcomb, Brewster at OSU, Hyatt at Clemson 2015, Murphy at Stanford, oh yea Theus, James at Tenn, Nixon at UF, Pouncey at UF, last year Williams at Bama, So there no reason to doubt that one or more of our incoming fresh could rise up and shine.

    @Pippin888 you are right but I bet if you go back and look at those teams, none had as many issues on the Oline. They plugged one guy on a line that was already good. Usually to take the next step its having to plug 1 or 2 pieces

    I agree but if we have a player that can seal off Eason blind side and give him 1.5 or 2 seconds longer on his reads wow.

    Watching lsu Texas am on tv.. that lsu defense is legit, and matt Canada is an incredible off coord... my point being is by October 7, fla is in trouble.. lsu will shut down their offense and Canada will exploit the new holes they have on D...

    Fla, our biggest threat, has to play mich, tenn, at Kentucky, lsu and Texas am before us.. they will either lose 2 or 3 of those, and they will have some injuries coming into cocktail party.. the east is ours!

    I say that they beat Mich but are 2-3 in those games (beat UT). Everyone said that I was crazy to say UF 3-5 in SEC but add a loss to UGA and at USC and that's how I have it. I am not sure that they beat both Vandy and Mizz BTW

    I hate Florida as much as about anybody, but to think that they will fall that far is a bit of a stretch.

    Looking at the 15/16 classes they finished with #21 and #12 respectively and blue chip ratio of 19% and 36%. These are the classes that will form the backbone of their team this year. Only time will tell

    Was just reading a great blog and breakdown on rivals. Uga has almost as many 4&5 stars on their roster as tenn and fla combined!!!!!! 56 to 58.., And 2.5 times more 5 stars then tenn and fla combined.. Kirby has no excuses.. none.. even if OL is young, we have til late October before we play fla and auburn.. they're sophomores by then..
