Tunmise Adeleye: “LSU with the win, 35-28 I believe Georgia has an elite defense, but I don’t think Georgia can go toe to toe with LSU offensively as of right now.”

Bryce Anderson: "55-21. LSU is going to kill them it's no other way around it. We have something that they can’t stop and our defense is playing tough right now and I don't think they will score that many points, including their top receiver is out for the first half is a big loss for them, so I don't think they will score many points. If we stop the run, then I don't think they will get over 14 so giving them 21 is being generous.”

Harrison Bailey: “LSU 31, Georgia 24… Joe Burrow for Heisman.”

Cartavious Bigsby: “LSU wins 42-24.”

Kayshon Boutte: “LSU wins, 35-21.”

Javion Cohen: “I have LSU 49-24, and because of two words — Joe Burrow.”

Edgerrin Cooper: “LSU, 28-14.”

TJ Finley: “I got LSU, 45-17, because even though Georgia has a good defense, our offense is unstoppable. Our defense will shut down Jake Fromm, especially after George Pickens is out for the first half.”

Bryce Foster: “I have LSU winning, 45-24. LSU's offense has been killing it, but i haven't been super impressed with Georgia's offense. it'll be competitive at first and I think LSU will pull ahead late in the third.”

Dwight McGlothern: "LSU is winning. Joe (Burrow) is going to go crazy."

Amarius Mims: “LSU wins 24-21.”

Malachi Moore: “LSU wins 40-28. LSU is more explosive out of the offenses and LSU’s defense will make more stops than Georgia.”

Micah Morris: “35-31 Georgia wins. I think the Dawgs will come out with a win seeing how I believe they will be the last team with the ball.”

Myles Murphy: “I have LSU winning 27-14. LSU has one of the best secondaries I have seen lately and George Pickens will be missing a large portion of the game which will force Georgia to rely more on the run.”

Latrell Neville: “LSU to win it for sure. I’d say the score would be 35-12. Georgia’s offense hasn't really done well this year but they have the best defense in the SEC, so i don’t think LSU would be able to have their way with Georgia’s defense like they would want.”

Rashad Torrence: “With Georgia having key players out on offense, it will harder for them to score on LSU’s defense, so I have LSU winning 38-17.”

Tate Ratledge: “I think Georgia’s offense will be better off against LSU’s defense than the other way around. I think Georgia wins 31-24.”

Eric Reed: “I have Georgia winning because they have more experience playing in the SEC Championship, and that will be a big factor.”

Sage Ryan: “It’s gonna be a battle between the two squads. I got LSU winning, 45-21.”

Kristian Story: “LSU wins 42-21 because their offense is super explosive and I do not think Georgia will be able to keep up.”

Sedrick Van Pran: “Honestly, I think if LSU wins it will be because UGA’s offense can’t get things rolling, but if UGA wins I think it will be because of the front seven on defense. My prediction: Georgia wins, 9-7.”

Phillip Webb: “I have LSU winning 38-21. The LSU offense continues to roll and their defense is improving week by week.”

Roydell Williams: “Georgia wins 24-21. Although George Pickens is sitting out the first half, he will come back in the second half and dominate with the force of the run game.”
