CFP championship game: Georgia Bulldogs vs. TCU Horned Frogs

Georgia gets a chance to defend its national title against TCU on Monday night at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California.

The Bulldogs have been a tough, physical team all year and was expected to perform well this season. The Horned Frogs, on the other hand, have been one of college football’s biggest surprises this year.

It’s tough to pick against either team.

Georgia has dominated teams all season, even strong SEC teams like Tennessee and LSU. Their offense has been impressive, putting up nearly 500 yards and 40 points a game.

TCU on the other hand, has notched several come-from-behind wins this season against solid Big-12 teams. It seems just as risky to pick against the Horned Frogs with their knack for comeback wins. Their offense has been impressive, as they’ve been averaging just over 41 points a game.

Georgia is a heavy favorite, -12.5, with the O/U at 62.5. TCU has been too good on offense for a spread this big, especially in their biggest games. Look for TCU to cover the spread in a tough, high-scoring game.
