SEC Betting Preview: LSU Tigers vs. Georgia Bulldogs

The 2019 SEC Championship Game will feature the undefeated LSU Tigers versus the one-loss Georgia Bulldogs. LSU was the winner of the SEC West Division this season, while Georgia won the SEC East Division again in 2019. The Tigers and Bulldogs are both currently in the top four in the College Football Playoff standings, but nothing is guaranteed with a loss in this game.
LSU is outscoring opponents by an average of 26 points per game and went 12-0 during the regular season. The Tigers have four wins over teams who were ranked in the top 10 when they played. Georgia is 11-1 so far this season, and its lone loss was a stunner. The Bulldogs suffered a home loss to South Carolina but have won six straight games since that time. LSU is a seven-point favorite over Georgia in this game.
LSU Has A Feared Offensive Attack
The LSU Tigers have struggled to find offense over the last few seasons, but that isn’t the case in 2019. The Tigers are averaging 48.7 points per game, and they have the second-best passing attack at 390.0 yards per game. Quarterback Joe Burrow has thrown for over 4,500 yards this season while completing close to 80 percent of his pass attempts. The Tigers also have some talented running backs at their disposal, but this is all on Burrow.
LSU has given up more than 22 points per game this season, but their quick-strike offense has forced them onto the field a ton. The Tigers have a pair of special players in their secondary in Grant Delpit and Derek Stingley Jr. LSU can afford to blitz a ton knowing that they have this talent in the secondary. The Tigers have 30 sacks this season, and they will come after Jake Fromm in this game.
Fromm, Swift Must Lead Bulldogs
If the Georgia Bulldogs are going to pull off this stunning victory, then Fromm and D’Andre Swift are going to have to carry the team. Fromm has thrown 21 touchdown passes this season, and Swift has racked up more than 1,200 rushing yards. LSU will not be an easy team to score on, but the Bulldogs have scored on some great defenses already this season.
Georgia will try to keep this game close with its defense, and that unit has allowed just 10.4 points per game this season. The Bulldogs already have three shutouts to their credit this season, but keeping LSU to less than 30 points might be the goal in this game. Georgia does have 26 sacks so far this season, and getting pressure on Burrow has to be a point of emphasis for this defense.
LSU Completes Perfect Regular Season
The Georgia Bulldogs are no strangers to the SEC Championship Game, and they have put together some terrific performances on this state. Georgia has an extremely talented team, and its defense should keep it in this game. The problem is that LSU has one of the most explosive offensive attacks in the country, and Burrow has been unreal. The Tigers simply have too much talent to lose this game, and they will cruise to a win. Bet the LSU Tigers -7.0 over the Georgia Bulldogs in the SEC Championship Game.
