Handicapper Danny Sheridan on Georgia’s 2018 season: ‘They will be favored in every game’
Published:
Danny Sheridan is firmly sitting on the Georgia hype train heading into the 2018 season.
According to the longtime USA TODAY Sports handicapper, the Bulldogs will be favored in every single game in 2018. In fact, he has the Bulldogs as double-digit favorites in nearly every single game they will play come the fall.
During his Friday appearance on the Paul Finebaum Show, Sheridan was asked to break down his thoughts on Kirby Smart’s program entering the summer.
“They will be favored in every game,” Sheridan said on the show. “I hear on your show and other shows, ‘Well, South Carolina is improved.’ They may be but Georgia will be about a two-touchdown favorite, closer to 14 than 12 over South Carolina — at South Carolina. It will be two-touchdown (favorites) over Florida.”
After going over Georgia’s entire schedule, Sheridan offered up this take on how he sees the lines shaping up for the Bulldogs come the fall.
“Double-digit favorite over everyone except at home against Auburn, maybe 3 and a half or four-point favorite over Auburn. At LSU, I’m guessing six or seven. They will be favored in every game, they are like Alabama,” he said. “This is pretty unusual for Georgia to be favored, I know it’s unusual, I don’t remember it happening. I see Georgia winning 11 games.”
Based on those comments, Georgia’s run through the SEC East last season may be the start of much more to come for Smart and his UGA program in Athens.
