The Doink that killed the Under I started out the New Year with a nice 4-2 start. Coulda been 5-1 but that ol’ snake bit me again. Texas was about to win the game in regulation with a chip shot FG and preserve the under but their great kicker doinks it and forces OT. Nothing kills under more than OT and of course they go into double OT with TDs all over the place.
I'm not going to get into it about why this game was postponed only to say that hate only breeds more hate.

Notre Dame ML vs Georgia -110 - The Sugar Bowl will be a brawl between two teams with elite defenses. Points will be hard to come by, and this one will likely be decided late in the fourth quarter.

Stockton provided mobility to Georgia's offense but ND is well versed in stopping mobile QBs The injury to Starting Georgia QB Carson Beck is out for the season so the Dawgs will be rolling with Gunner Stockton, who will making his first career start. And nothing says “Welcome to College Football” like facing the #1 passing defense in the nation.
When Stockton stepped in to replace Beck in the game against Texas, a heavily-scripted drive to start the second half yielded a touchdown. But then Georgia’s offense stalled under Stockton. He averaged a disastrous 4.4 yards per pass attempt. On five drives before overtime, Georgia averaged 4.49 yards per play. He also recorded an interception against the Longhorns through 16 passing attempt.
Stockton mobility was an asset to the Dawg offense but Notre Dame is well versed in defending mobile QBs in stopping both Navy and Army.

While UGA struggles to stop mobile QBs Stockton will also struggle to find chemistry with his WRs as Georgia leads the nation on dropped passes.
A key to the game will be Notre Dames elite OL vs Georgia’s underperforming pass rush. The Irish ground attack, led by Jeremiyah Love, should have opportunities to extend drives and control the clock, as the Bulldogs are a susceptible to allowing extended drives. The Dawgs also struggle against mobile QBs like Notre Dame's Riley Leonard Including:

Riley Leonard has scored TDs in 10 of his last 13 games ’ll take the more experienced Leonard over Stockton starting his first college game.
And a couple of player props
Notre Dame QB Riley Leonard any time TD scorer -115 – When the Domers get near the goal line they like to turn to Leonard. He’s crossed the goal line at least once in 10 of 13 games.
Georgia WR Arian Smith over 40 yards receiving - With Gunner Stockton under center, Georgia’s offensive plan likely includes short throws and screens to receivers like Smith, who can turn a quick catch into a big gain with his legs. It won’t take many to hit this mark
Lost in all the news about the postponement of the Sugar Bowl is that there is another game already scheduled for today

Cayden Lee will see more targets with Tre Harris gone Mississippi vs Duke Under 51 – Duke will be down to their 3rd string QB as starter Malik Murphy opted out to transfer to Auburn, and backup Grayson Loftis entered the transfer portal because of Tulane’s Darian Mensah’s incoming transfer. That leaves the Blue Devil offense in the hands of Henry Belin IV.
The Blue Devils also lost leading rusher Star Thomas to the portal. The Blue Devils are one of a dozen teams that average fewer than 100 rushing yards per game, and the Rebels surrender the second-fewest rushing yards in the country, forcing Duke to rely even more heavily on Belin.
Ole Miss went over the total only twice all season as the Rebs have a stellar defense allowing just 13.9 PPG (3rd).
Lane Kiffin has been tweeting how his team will be fired up after just missing the CFP. We heard the same noise from Bama and that didn’t exactly work out, did it. So I will stay away from the spread. Also, Lane may keep bench his starters at some point in order to save them for next season.
If that is the case I'll also add in
Mississippi -9.5 first half
I'll throw a player prop in here too
Mississippi WR Cayden Lee over 70 yards receiving - Leading WR Tre Harris is out for the game meaning more targets for Lee and Jordan Watkins, Lee racked up over 80 yards in 4 of the last 6 games while Harris has been out.
