LSU football score prediction, scouting report for SEC Championship

No. 14 LSU football will play for the third SEC Championship in 11 years against No. 1 Georgia in Atlanta on Saturday (3 p.m., CBS). The Tigers (9-3) head into the matchup as heavy underdogs following their loss to Texas A&M to close out the regular season. If LSU defeats the Bulldogs (12-0), it will become SEC champions for 13th time in program history.

LSU's defense will have to force Georgia's offense into third and long situations and get stops in the red zone. Georgia has scored 43 touchdowns in 66 trips inside the opponent's 20-yard line this season. LSU has only surrendered 17 touchdowns on 40 drives that have leaked into the the Red Zone (42.5%).

Georgia's secondary is young and inexperienced. Georgia's only two senior and junior players are in the secondary. LSU's receiving corps is deep and talented. If Jayden Daniels is healthy and at his best, LSU has a potential matchup advantage.

Georgia's Ladd McConkey is a key player for the team. He was a three-star recruit and the No. 121 player in the state of Georgia. Mcconkey has 46 catches for 606 yards and 6 carries for 120 yards this year.

Georgia will win the SEC Championship against LSU. Georgia's defense will keep LSU's offense at bay.
