The No. 2 Texas Longhorns (11-1) will have revenge on their mind when they face the No. 5 Georgia Bulldogs (10-2) in the 2024 SEC Championship Game on Saturday afternoon. Texas' lone loss this season came at home against Georgia in October, but it responded with a five-game winning streak. Georgia's College Football Playoff hopes appeared to be in trouble when it lost to then-No. 16 Ole Miss on Nov. 9, but the Bulldogs have responded with a three-game winning streak. They are playing in the SEC Championship for the fourth consecutive season and the seventh time in the last eight years, while the Longhorns made the title game in their first season in the conference. Star offensive tackle Kelvin Banks Jr. is one of the players Texas lists as questionable, while Georgia lists running back Trevor Etienne questionable as well.
Kickoff from Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta is set for 4 p.m. ET. Texas is a 2.5-point favorite in the latest Texas vs. Georgia odds from SportsLine consensus, while the over/under for total points scored is 50.5.

2024 SEC Championship picks for Georgia vs. Texas
Nagel likes the Under (49.5) in the SEC Championship. Texas is coming off another impressive defensive performance, allowing just 248 total yards on the road against Texas A&M. The Longhorns are giving up just 11.7 points per game, which ranks second only to Ohio State (10.9) nationally.
Offensively, they have been leaning heavily on running back Quintrevion Wisner in recent weeks, which means the clock moves throughout most of their possessions. Georgia quarterback Carson Beck struggled in the first meeting against Texas, finishing with just 175 passing yards and three interceptions. The Longhorns have gone Under the total in seven of their last eight games, so Nagel is leaning to the Under in this showdown. See which side of the spread to back at SportsLine.
