Georgia has one of the deepest, most talented rosters in the country. It also returns some of the sport’s top players at premium positions, and it is not protecting a title for the first time in a while. There is a reason the Bulldogs are viewed by most as the No. 1 team in the country. Quarterback Carson Beck leads a high-powered offense for coach Kirby Smart, and the defense is once again among the best in the land.

Previewing Georgia's Offense for 2024

Georgia got huge news in January when Beck elected to return for another season, giving the Bulldogs one of the top returning quarterbacks in college football. Beck is coming off one of the most prolific passing seasons in school history, and he has plenty of weapons.

Numerous pass-catchers are generating hype. Senior slot receiver Dominic Lovett had a tremendous spring. The light came on for fifth-year speedster Arian Smith, and Miami (Fla.) transfer Colbie Young also had a huge showing during spring drills. The Bulldogs are excited about Florida transfer Trevor Etienne at running back. He brings an element to the offense that was missing last season.

In addition to the deep collection of skill talent, Georgia also brings back four starters on the offensive line and two more players who played meaningful minutes up front a season ago.

Previewing Georgia's Defense for 2024

Nazir Stackhouse and Warren Brinson are back, and they bring invaluable experience with them. They will be joined by some ultra-talented guys who got their feet wet in 2023.

Mykel Williams is transitioning from the defensive line to more of a stand-up outside linebacker role in his third season with the team. He’s the Bulldogs’ most talented front-seven defender. And if the G-Day spring scrimmage is any indication, he is very comfortable in his new role. Inside linebacker should be a strength for UGA once again, as Smael Mondon Jr. is back for his senior season and will be accompanied by Jalon Walker, CJ Allen and Raylen Wilson.

The secondary must replace three starters, but there is no shortage of talent. Keep an eye on true freshmen Ellis Robinson IV and KJ Bolden. They were five-star additions in the 2024 class, and both are in the thick of the competition at cornerback and safety, respectively.

Previewing Georgia's Specialists for 2024

Georgia’s kicking game returns intact. Brett Thorson is back for his final season at Georgia and has been one of the league’s most consistent punters over the past two seasons. Peyton Woodring earned the place-kicking job in 2023 as a true freshman and found his groove at the midpoint of the season. The return game is still a work in progress, with speedster Anthony Evans III likely to step into a bigger role.

Georgia Football 2024 Win Total Prediction: OVER/UNDER 10.5 Wins

Let us just say the 2023 Georgia schedule was a tad … lacking. The 2024 version more than makes up for it. Clemson at a neutral location, at Kentucky, at Alabama, at Texas, Florida at a neutral field, at Ole Miss -- and those are just the games away from home. For most mortal teams, that is a season-ender before the first kickoff. There might be a loss in this bunch, but this Georgia team can handle the slate. There could even be two losses and everything will be okay for the CFP, but there will not be a third. That does not include the home games against Auburn and Mississippi State, and the late November dates against Tennessee and Georgia Tech.

The Bulldogs boast one of the best coaches in the game to pair along with a stud quarterback, but this schedule is brutal and will take execution from all phases of the game to survive. I am taking a stab at the under on the win total for plus money and have the Bulldogs finishing the regular season with a 10-2 record.

Georgia Preseason Pick

UNDER 10.5 (+105) (DraftKings)

Georgia Best Bets

This program is ranked No. 1 in the nation for a reason and has the roster structure to win the National Championship. The additions of Texas and Oklahoma make winning the SEC even more of a challenge. And with a very difficult road schedule, I would not be surprised if they do not win the SEC regular season. However, once the playoffs start, all eyes will be on the superstars, and Kirby Smart will have them ready to play. Look for the Bulldogs to be National Champions again in 2024.
