Georgia looks to keep momentum going from win at Notre Dame

Georgia earned a big-time win last week at Notre Dame while Georgia Tech returned home for a win over Jacksonville State. Mercer and Georgia Southern both lost, Mercer at home and Georgia Southern in a “home” game in Birmingham, Alabama.

On Saturday, Georgia is the only team playing at home as it tries to keep its momentum rolling. Mercer is on the road, Georgia Southern had a scheduled off week, and Georgia Tech got an extra off week when its game against Central Florida was canceled.

Here are my predictions for Saturday’s state, SEC and ACC games.

Samford at Georgia: Georgia opens SEC play next week, but before that, it has to focus on Samford and Macon native Chris Hatcher as its head coach. ... Georgia.

Mercer at Auburn: The Bears are coming off a tough loss to Wofford in Southern Conference play as they prepare to face their first-ever SEC opponent. ... Auburn.

Miles at Fort Valley State: The Wildcats’ first SIAC game of the season after winning the conference championship game last year. ... Fort Valley State.
