We don't necessarily condone gambling (where it's not legal, at least), but you can't go wrong with this next bowl pick. Here's 3 Reasons Why Penn State Is GUARANTEED To Beat Georgia In The TaxSlayer Bowl.
3. It's Time
The Nittany Lions are on the cusp of something great, and the next step is a victory over a marquee SEC program. If PSU is going to return to top-tier program status, these are the games they need to win and win convincingly.
2. Georgia's Inconsistency
Ever since RB Nick Chubb went down with a season-ending injury, Georgia's offense has been playing hide and seek. They can't consistently run the ball, the quarterback position is in flux and the team has gone from NCAA title contender to SEC also-ran. Penn State has had its own problems, but they're trending up compared to the troubles in Athens.
1. Christian Hackenberg
Hackenberg's NFL Draft stock as fluctuated this year, but he's done the best he can with offensive line issues in front of them. Regardless of the inconsistency, he's the best quarterback in this game by far and the one impact offensive player who can swing this game one way or the other. If this is his swansong for Penn State, he's going to make it a good one.
