Mic No. 1 Share Posted August 26, 2022 Ok, it was July 14, over 6 weeks ago, but little should have changed since then with the rosters of Oregon & Georgia. Dylan Mickanen of Fan Nation was making his "way too early" game prediction for this game: 45-17 Georgia. wow. Personally, 'too early' or not, that's rather high, imo. How far will Oregon fall (from #11) if this occurs? How far will Oregon rise if the Ducks cover the spread? How far will Oregon rise if (the sky falls and) Oregon squeaks out a win? The same questions could be asked about Georgia, in reverse. But, let's stay with the Ducks, if anyone's interested in commenting. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, as Georgia's only good team they face until Alabama, they will keep us ranked in top 20. We cover the spread, and Utah loses, we jump 3 places. If we cover, and Utah wins as well, we jump 1 space or remain same. If we beat Georgia we come in right behind Ohio State Edited August 26, 2022 by Pac10again 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
McDawg No. 3 Share Posted August 26, 2022 I don't think the Ducks lose by 20....or by 17..I see this as a 12-14 point game. The O/U is 51.5 but methinks that may be low. I say 59or 60 is the O/U Our defense is still finding their feet. Our offense should be clicking pretty good and should be able to score some. And your very own Bo Nix is a PITA when he gets outside the pocket. Ducks cover but lose. ** None of this information should be used in an actual betting scenario.

30Duck No. 4 Share Posted August 26, 2022 Whoever it was that mentioned Georgia's TE's needs to apologize to the rest of the people living in my apartment complex as the UGA TE's have caused me to scream uncontrollably day and night. Aside from their presence what I also see affecting the o/u is the pesky turnover early in the game. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we cover, and Utah wins as well, we jump 1 space or remain same. If we beat Georgia we come in right behind Ohio State Doing my math: If Oregon loses (failing to cover the spread) they still remain in the Top 20? Possibly. My guess is no, the pollsters pounce! If Oregon covers the spread (my guess) they rise 3 to #8? Bit too low, imo. They rise 5 spots to #6 (this is the defending champs) If Oregon wins somehow they come in just behind OSU? Depends on what OSU does, of course. (but we beat OSU last year) Also, if Oregon wins somehow I hate to think what will happen to Georgia and Kirby Smart. As you say, without good teams to face till 'Bama it could be awhile before Georgia sees a Top 5 spot again. Good answer though! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinda mimics my guess 20-10 Georgia. But that's pretty optimistic. I do think the Ducks will cover. First game jitters on both sides. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
