Slowing down their opponents\u2019 attacks has been the Bulldogs\u2019 most notable identity this year, as the program ranks 16<sup>th<\/sup> in total defense and 39<sup>th<\/sup> in scoring defense, allowing 23.9 points per game.<\/p>\n<p>Keeping the Horned Frogs\u2019 passing game from going off in particular is certainly a top priority for Georgia, which lost a close one to Georgia Tech in the season finale, 28-27. The Bulldogs are 18<sup>th<\/sup> national against the pass, surrendering just 186.9 passing yards per game They could also be meeting TCU at a perfect time with the Horned Frogs\u2019 offense seemingly on a bad trend; TCU failed to reach 200 passing yards in four of its last six outings.<\/p>\n<p>The other side of the ball for Georgia features the backfield tandem of Nick Chubb and Sony Michel, who are poised to give abuse to TCU\u2019s run defense that has given up 859 rushing yards and six touchdowns in the Horned Frogs\u2019 past three games.<\/p>\n<p>Georgia is 5-5 ATS in its last 10 games in which it was the favorite.<\/p>\n<h3>Betting on the TCU Horned Frogs (<a href=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/sportsbook\/football\/ncaa\">+1<\/a>)<\/h3>\n<p>TCU head coach Gary Patterson won his first bowl game in Memphis in 2002. That was a long time ago, and this week, he\u2019ll look to duplicate that feat with his Horned Frogs.<\/p>\n<p>The Horned Frogs are coming off a deflating 30-6 loss to Kansas State on December 3 and a win in Memphis this Friday is going to be a welcome achievement for a TCU program that has struggled with inconsistency throughout the season. That assessment couldn\u2019t be highlighted any better by the Horned Frogs\u2019 last three games, a stretch that saw them got beaten to a pulp by Oklahoma State (31-6) and win over Texas (31-9) before the debacle against the Wildcats.<\/p>\n<p>Still, TCU know it stands a big chance of coming away with a victory against the Bulldogs. For one, the Horned Frogs are certainly looking to pick on Georgia\u2019s glaring weakness when it comes to defending in the red zone. As strong as the Bulldogs\u2019 overall defense has been, it does rank <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ncaa.com\/stats\/football\/fbs\/current\/team\/704\/p3\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"broken_link\" rel=\"nofollow\">second worst in the FBS<\/a> in red-zone defense, allowing opponents to convert 95 percent of the time inside their 20-yard line.<\/p>\n<p>Conversely, TCU\u2019s defense is staring at a so-so Georgia defense, which the Horned Frogs appear to be capable of taking care of. TCU\u2019s pass rush unit has been one of the best in the nation with 40 sacks, eighth most in the nation, and it\u2019ll be looking to further cripple Georgia\u2019s passing offense that ranks just 97<sup>th<\/sup> in overall.<\/p>\n<h3>Writer\u2019s Prediction<\/h3>\n<p>TCU (<a href=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/sportsbook\/football\/ncaa\">+1<\/a>) wins, 28-25.<\/p>\n<p><a
