A trip to the national championship game is on the line when the Ohio State Buckeyes and Georgia Bulldogs meet Saturday in the Peach Bowl. It is the second national semifinal on New Year's Eve. Read on for our top Peach Bowl college football picks based on the best NCAAF odds as Ohio State battles Georgia.
For most of the regular season, Ohio State (5-6-1 ATS, 9-3 O/U) looked unbeatable. All 11 of the Buckeyes' wins on the year have come by double digits. However, a 22-point home loss to rival Michigan prevented Ohio State from playing in the Big Ten Championship Game. Despite the setback, OSU was able to sneak into the College Football Playoff as the 4-seed.
Georgia (7-6 ATS, 5-7-1 O/U) is back to defend its national title from a year ago as the top seed in the College Football Playoff. The Bulldogs capped off a perfect regular season by avenging last year's loss in the SEC Championship with a dominant victory over LSU. The Dawgs have largely steamrolled their competition to date with 12 of their 13 wins coming by double-digit margins.
