Colin Cowherd predicts final score of SEC Championship Game
FOX Sports host Colin Cowherd took to the airwaves on Thursday to make his picks of the top 3 college football games of the weekend. Among them, of course, is the SEC championship game, featuring LSU as a 7-point favorite over Georgia in Atlanta.
Cowherd picked LSU to cover, and not only cover but do so “big”, feeling that the Tigers’ offense would overcome the Bulldogs’ defense, as well as take advantage of some missing pieces from Georgia’s sideline. He specifically alluded to Lawrence Cager being out due to injury and George Pickens being suspended for the 1st half.
“This receiving corps…not a lot of over the top components,” he said. “Jake Fromm has struggled. Last 4 games, he’s completing [under] 50 percent of his throws. Their best running back…got hurt against Georgia Tech, D’Andre Swift. I think this is a banged-up Georgia offense that has had issues being a big-play offense.”
Cowherd also took time to compliment Tigers quarterback Joe Burrow, who he feels will enjoy a strong game against the Georgia defense.
“Joe Burrow is on fire,” he said. “He’s No. 1 in the nation in virtually everything, he’s got a great O-line, he’s got a stud running back I like (Clyde Edwards-Helaire). LSU’s won 13 straight and they are 4-0 against top 10 teams this year. Coach O has won 8 of his last 9 against top 10 teams.”
Cowherd’s final score prediction was 36-27 in favor of LSU.
“I’m not sure it will feel that close,” he said. “I think LSU’s the better team significantly here.”

He is idiot. If you watch his show for 2 mins it’s easy to tell.
Yes, he is…, especially about college football.
Won’t be that high scoring
He’s the same guy who predicated Bama to crush UGA in the NC a couple of years ago.
He also picked Alabama to beat LSU by 20+ this year.
And if Bama wouldn’t have shot themselves n the foot in the first half they would have probably won by 4 touchdowns
And if LSU hadn’t shot themselves in the foot in the second half, the beatdown would have been even worse than it was.
The only reason Alabama even got back in the game was LSU went to a soft zone in the 3rd quarter and got conservative on offense. As soon as Bama closed within a score they put the foot back on the gas and went right back to doing whatever they wanted.
You misspelled “Najee Harris”.
He touched the ball 5 times in the 1st half. 3 of those on the 1st drive when they went right down the field. The same guy that ran all over Auburn who got them 1st and goal at 2 and our stupid ass OC Sarak called a passing play. The same stupidass OC who called a passing play at the 29 with :26 seconds left in the half against LSU. The same stupidass OC who only running play he knew in the 1st half of the season was the read option.
Wow the UGA win is confirmed!
Now if we can just get Skip Bayless on record saying LSU will win…
Randy Cross picked UGa so…
Good ole Colon Cowterd!
