Capital One Bowl Prediction Georgia vs. Michigan State


GAME INFO:
Bowl Game: Capital One Bowl
Game Date/Time: Jan 1, 2009, 1:00 pm EST
Teams: Georgia Bulldogs vs Michigan State Spartans
Location: Orlando, FL
TV: ABC
THE TEAMS
The Georgia Bulldogs are 6-2 overall and 5-0 in the SEC Conference. They have scored 385 points and given up 307.
The Michigan State Spartans are also 6-2 overall and 3-2 in the Big Ten Conference. They've scored 314 points and given up 263
THE LINE (subject to change)
Georgia is the favorite by 8 points. The Over/Under line is 56 points.
THE PREVIEW
It might be the year of the quarterback in college football, but two of the nation's finest running backs square off in Orlando. Doak Walker Award finalists Javon Ringer of Michigan State and Knowshon Moreno of Georgia rank third and 16th nationally in rushing average. An MSU team that admittedly has overachieved faces the preseason No. 1 Bulldogs, who didn't expect to be here.
THE PREDICTION
Georgia 52 Michigan State 14
No challenge here. The Georgia Bulldogs are angry to be even be playing in this game - they expected to be in the BCS title game before the year started. Expect the Bulldogs to let out their frustrations on the Spartans.
