US LBM Coaches Poll: Texas surges after shocking Alabama
The Georgia Bulldogs are playing the Notre Dame Fighting Irish in the Sugar Bowl on Thursday, Jan. 2. The Sugar Bowl was postponed after an attack in New Orleans’ French Quarter killed 10 people and injured at least 30.
Georgia and Notre Dame were originally schedule to play in the College Football Playoff quarterfinals on Jan. 1, but security concerns stemming from the tragedy postponed the Sugar Bowl.
Notre Dame is now a slight one-point favorite against the Bulldogs. Georgia has won four straight playoff games and is 5-1 in the playoff during the Kirby Smart era, but UGA will be starting Gunner Stockton for the first time in his career against Notre Dame.
Georgia is 3-0 all time against Notre Dame. The last time the two teams met in the Sugar Bowl, Georgia capped its 1980 national championship season.
Notre Dame defeated Indiana, 27-17, in the first round of the playoff and is riding an 11-game winning streak. The Fighting Irish have an elite defense and strong rushing attack. They present a significant challenge for UGA.

Georgia-Notre Dame predictions, picks, odds
If Georgia had Carson Beck, I’d be picking the Bulldogs with more confidence. However, I don’t have a great deal of trust in Gunner Stockton, so I’m back and forth on this pick. I am rolling with Georgia because it is more battle-tested, and I think they’re going to win the line of scrimmage.
