Great call last week, I remember everyone, including me, expected a low scoring game.  I had UGA winning, but low scoring.  I think you are pretty close on this one.  UGA wins a shootout, and total sounds about right to me, maybe a little higher. 

I see it:    UGA   34      Arky    23

Here's my key stat for this game:

 

Mark Richt is 31-5 at UGA when playing teams that have not won an SEC title since the league went to 12 teams.  Of those 5 losses, only one came away from Athens, (2006 at Kentucky).  I said last week that the UGA offense would improve...they did for the most part.  This week UGA finally wins the turnover battle, (they were - 3 vs Okie State, and - 2 vs the Cocks) and the game.  This time around it will be the defense that steps up with some big sacks vs a very slow Arkansas qb.

 

UGA - 30

ARK - 20

 

ARK by 1, nice! OVER seems possibile!

Yeah, there is a strong point for you, let's see:

Richt in 8 years:  82 wins with an SEC schedule, 4 SEC East Titles, 2 SEC Championships, 6 Top 10 finishes Nationally, and 3 BCS Bowls  Richt  at FSU, two Heisman QBs, two National Titles.  Have you seen FSU's record since 2001, Richt's last year as OC?

Petrino:  won games in Louisville in the Big East, not much at Arky last year

Now Arky may win, they are at home with a good QB and rested, but your logic is suspect at best.  Should be a very good FB game.

Go'n big on the over.
