Georgia-Texas: Predictions, odds and how to watch SEC Championship
The upcoming SEC Championship game will showcase the Georgia Bulldogs and the Texas Longhorns, an SEC newcomer. This Saturday, these two powerhouse teams will engage in a must-see showdown, with the outcome carrying significant implications for the College Football Playoff.
This is the second time this season that Georgia and Texas will face each other. Earlier in the year, Georgia handed the Longhorns their only loss. In that matchup, Georgia traveled to Austin, where Bulldogs quarterback Carson Beck had a challenging game, completing 23 of 41 passes for just 175 yards and throwing three interceptions. However, running back Trevor Etienne's three touchdowns set the stage for a thrilling 30-15 upset victory.
As the championship game approaches, Texas (11-1) stands as a formidable opponent, having learned from its past mistakes. In contrast, Georgia (10-2) is under immense pressure. They cannot afford to suffer another loss if they hope to keep their CFP dreams alive. The stakes are high, and the tension is palpable.
Here is how to watch the SEC Championship game:

ESPN: Texas has a 61% chance to win
According to ESPN's Matchup Predictor, the Texas Longhorns have a 61.4% chance to beat the Georgia Bulldogs in the SEC Championship game.
NBC Sports: Georgia Bulldogs
Eric Fonton writes: "Georgia is a staggering 3-9 against the spread, while Texas has gone Under their allotted game total in 9-of-12 contests. UGA already soundly beat the Longhorns in Austin earlier this season, and now get them in Atlanta for a de facto home game. Throw in the hampered mobility of Texas QB Quinn Ewers due to a balky ankle, and I am taking the Bulldogs moneyline at +120."
Sports Illustrated: Texas Longhorns
Reed Wallach writes: "Look for Texas to get out to an early lead in this one behind a sound script from Steve Sarkisian and eventually win the SEC Championship in its first season, as the team is well positioned to pounce on a potentially gassed Georgia team following a grueling eight overtime game. Texas is nearly +16 in the first half of games on average this season while Georgia is a far worse +1. Take the 'Horns early."
