PEACH BOWL -- Bowls are all about motivation ... and don't you think unbeaten Cincinnati has a major chip on its shoulder right now after the CFP committee basically ignored the Bearcats? Would Georgia beat UC by double digits in a "normal" game? Probably. But I don't see it here. UGA is also down a few guys due to off-the-field circumstances. We think there's a decent chance Cincinnati wins outright but won't lose by more than a TD.

PEACH BOWL -- A trend in bowl season has been undefeated teams going down. Coastal Carolina sustained its first loss and so did San Jose State on New Year’s Eve. Expect that trend to continue as Cincinnati takes on Georgia. Down the stretch of their stout season, the Bearcats had issues with close calls against Central Florida and Tulsa. Look for Georgia’s talent advantage to outshine the Bearcats.

PEACH BOWL -- Since his promotion, QB J.T. Daniels has hot-wired Georgia's offense. The Bulldogs have wracked up 31, 45 and 49 points in his three starts. Daniels was not around when they went Over in their last four bowls. Cincinnati jumped the total in four of its last five games this season. And although they are associated with stout defense, the Bearcats can score a bit. During their nine-game schedule, they alone reached the 50s on two occasions and also hit the 40s and 30s twice each.

PEACH BOWL -- I have Georgia with J.T. Daniels at QB 9.5 points better than undefeated Cincinnati, which would make the Bulldogs the fourth-highest rated team in the nation. Daniels has played in Georgia's last three games and posted three wins (2-1 ATS) and three Overs with 10 TD passes and only one interception. Cincinnati has pulled out three-point wins in its last two contests against Tulsa and UCF. The Bearcats will have trouble running against the Bulldogs' defense (69 yards allowed per game). I’m on Georgia to cover in Atlanta.
