Georgia vs. Clemson Prediction & Betting Tips - August 31 | College Football Week 1
The No. 14 Clemson Tigers and No. 1 Georgia Bulldogs are set to begin their respective 2024 college football seasons on Saturday afternoon in the Aflac Kickoff. This game is being played on a neutral site as the game takes place in Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, Georgia.
The Tigers had a down year for their standards as they were 9-4 and defeated the Kentucky Wildcats in the Gator Bowl 38-35. The Bulldogs finished the year 13-1 but missed the College Football Playoff entirely. However, they dominated in the Orange Bowl against the Florida State Seminoles 63-3.
Clemson vs. Georgia prediction
On paper, the Georgia Bulldogs have the more complete roster. They enter the season hungry as this is the last year of Heisman Trophy candidate Carson Beck under center. Kirby Smart has had Dabo Swinney's number in the coaching battle and the Bulldogs have one of the most difficult defenses to deal with in all of the nation.
Having said that, do not expect the Clemson Tigers to get blown out as they have a talented roster. However, Cade Klubnik may struggle to get into a rhythm throughout a large portion of this game. Go with the Georgia Bulldogs to cover the spread and begin the year with a win in a loaded SEC.
