What are we to make of these two? They beat the teams they shouldn't and lose to teams they should beat, they score anywhere from 10-50 points while giving up anywhere from 0 to 65, the Aggies have the better offense (when they turn it on) while the Bulldogs have the better D (when they get things going). All in all, this one's a crapshoot.

The Line: Texas A&M +6.5

The Call: Georgia by 7

The Result: Georgia 44-20

That game took a while to get going, but once it did the Bulldogs came up big time. Not the prettiest offensive game, but the special teams play was explosive - this was a boost they really needed going into an offseason that's sure to see some changes. The Aggies showed up, and racked up some yards, but they just didn't get into the end zone. They're gonna have to work on consistency if they're ever going to improve much.
