ESPN analyst Stephen A. Smith predicts the TCU Horned Frogs will defeat the Georgia Bulldogs in the national championship game. Smith was not a believer in TCU until the Horned Frogs shocked Michigan in the College Football Playoff semifinals.
If TCU wins the national championship, the Horned Frogs would be one of the best underdog stories ever. Stephen A. Smith thinks Georgia has the better team, but he has a feeling TCU will pull off the upset.
Stephen A. Smith explained his upset pick on ESPN:
Quarterback Max Duggan and TCU have been a popular upset pick entering the national championship game. However, TCU will have to win the turnover battle in order to have a good chance of upsetting the defending national champions.
Stephen A. Smith’s ESPN counterpart, Paul Finebaum, picked the Georgia Bulldogs to win the national championship. Finebaum thinks it is tough to repeat, but that the Bulldogs have the edge thanks to a superior defense.
