Recent Performance
Georgia Bulldogs
Georgia comes into the Orange Bowl with a 12-1 record, suffering a close loss to Alabama. The Bulldogs aim to showcase their dominance against the undefeated Seminoles and finish the season on a high note.
Florida State Seminoles
Florida State boasts an impressive 13-0 record but faces a significant setback with the absence of quarterback J. Travis. The Seminoles' defense, one of the best in the nation, will need to shine against Georgia's powerful offense.
Prediction:
The Capital One Orange Bowl features two powerhouse teams with exceptional defenses. However, the absence of Florida State's star quarterback J. Travis, combined with Georgia's defensive prowess, is likely to result in a low-scoring game.
Both teams will rely on their strong defensive units to control the pace of the game. Expect a battle of attrition with limited scoring opportunities. Therefore, the Under of 44.5 points is the recommended pick for this matchup.
