TCU vs. Georgia betting preview: Can the Horned Frogs pull off ... (The Washington Post)

When Georgia faces TCU in the College Football Playoff national championship game Monday night, it will be hard to resist the favorite.

But as I said, TCU got some gift points from pick-sixes and Georgia kept a potent Ohio State offense out of the end zone for nearly a full half. As for the total, I’m thinking that everyone saw those two high-scoring semifinal games and are rushing to take the over in the championship. The Bulldogs adjusted in the second half, which might be key against a TCU team that’s averaging 20.3 points in the third and fourth quarters, ranking third in the nation. The Bulldogs are averaging [3.28 points per drive and 0.27 expected points added per play](https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/georgia-is-a-clear-title-favorite-but-the-odds-havent-mattered-to-tcu-yet/?ex_cid=538twitter), both better marks than the Georgia team that [won the 2021 CFP title](https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2022/01/11/georgia-national-champions/?itid=lk_inline_manual_16). Stroud four times, and though Stroud threw for 348 yards and four touchdowns, all but 56 of those yards came in the first half or on the first drive of the second half, when the Buckeyes scored their final touchdown. [Georgia’s one-point win over Ohio State](https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2023/01/01/georgia-rallies-beat-ohio-state-reach-cfp-championship-game/?itid=lk_inline_manual_16) was only the third Bulldogs game decided by single digits over their past 29 contests.

I just see the variance in outcomes of the final score being too wide for me to be comfortable taking a side on the O/U. [college football picks and predictions](https://www.covers.com/ncaaf/picks) for TCU vs. [TCU](https://www.covers.com/sport/football/ncaaf/teams/main/texas-christian-horned-frogs) has a propensity for giving up the big play through the air. Even though I have a lot of faith in the Georgia defense, Max Duggan, Quentin Johnston, and the Horned Frogs' offense is good enough to put up some points in this game. It will be interesting to see if the less-talented TCU tackles can get away with that strategy. The way TCU pulls off an upset is by hitting some big plays in the passing game while still mixing in a good amount of runs. And it’s not just individual tackling, they swarm to the football. So, in a game with a spread that is difficult to handicap, my best bet will be for Bennett to go Over his passing yard prop of 275.5. However, TCU has been one of the best bets in college football all season. Despite a furious late push by the Wolverines, TCU held on for a thrilling 51-45 victory. Meanwhile, no one — and I mean no one — expected the No. They enter the national title game with a perfect 14-0 record but needed an epic comeback to defeat Ohio State 42-41 in the Peach Bowl semifinals.
