We Liked Georgia by a Touchdown. Notre Dame Had Other Ideas.

Coming in, we made Georgia the better team here by about a touchdown — call it seven points. The oddsmakers barely had Georgia favored at all, more like a one-point game, essentially a coin flip. That's a wide gap. Our number said Georgia should win this comfortably, the kind of edge that turns a near-even matchup into a clear favorite. Then Notre Dame went out and won it 23-10. So much for the comfortable part.
