Georgia Bulldogs 2009 College Football Predictions, Picks & Odds: Head football coach Mark Richt’s Bulldogs who enter 2009 are almost unrecognizable from that group that started last season. They hope not to resemble the group that finished it either. So the question in Athens is: Can these no-name Dawgs outperform last year’s lauded but underachieving group? Odds makers at Sportsbook.com have the Georgia Bulldogs at 75-1 odds to win the BSC 2010 National Championship.
Joe Cox might not be Stafford, but he is not a bad replacement either…if he is indeed the replacement. Cox is a savvy veteran who is ready to play right now, but he is being pushed by Logan Gray. Gray is the more athletic prospect with a higher ceiling, but Cox is the safe choice. That covers replacing Stafford, but what about Moreno? Georgia has a slew of talented backs like Caleb King, Richard Samuel and Carlton Thomas, but can they do what Moreno did? Eventually they probably can, but they certainly lack in experience since they are all underclassmen. King is the likely candidate to get the bulk of carries in 2009 after serving as Moreno’s backup in 2008, but this could turn into a dynamic running back by committee type of team. Georgia Bulldogs OVER 8.5 WINS for the season is among the top college football picks on the board currently at Sportsbook.com.
Rennie Curran might not be a household name outside of SEC country, but the junior might be by this time next year. The linebacker tallied 115 tackles, ten tackles-for-loss, three sacks and 14 quarterback hurries last season and was the anchor of the defense. Curran will once again be the anchor this year, but he will have plenty of help from fellow linebacker Akeem Dent. The secondary is just as strong with safety Reshad Jones returning after picking off five passes a year ago. The back seven will be very strong, but the defensive line is not too shabby either. Geno Atkins can be a dominating interior lineman at times and players like Roderick Battle can provide the Bulldogs with a quality pass rush. Sportsbook.com has college football picks on the Georgia Bulldogs to win the Southeastern Conference at a +700 odds.
Drew Butler is the odds-on favorite to win the punting job, but he needs to be more consistent. Boykin and Miller should share responsibilities in the return game.
