The Buckeyes don't have to be the only winner this weekend.

Ohio State will be the underdog when they face Georgia in the Peach Bowl on Saturday, and with the matchup in Atlanta, the No. 4 Buckeyes will need to have their best game of the season to take down their opponent in its own backyard.

Being an underdog has seldom been an issue for the men in the scarlet and gray, who will indeed fight to the end for O-HI-O this weekend.

The Prediction

For Ohio State to come out on top against top-seeded Georgia, the Buckeyes need to fire on all cylinders. Easier said than done. The task will be exceptionally tall for the team's offense. Although it is one of the nation's best, the Bulldogs possess an equally talented defense equipped to handle the athleticism and skill of Ryan Day's squad.

Heisman finalist C.J. Stroud will be counted on to connect with Marvin Harrison Jr., Emeka Egbuka, Julian Fleming and Cade Stover. At the same time, Miyan Williams, Dallan Hayden and Chip Trayanum will look to prove they can establish a presence for Ohio State on the ground. And the offensive line must contain future top-five pick Jalen Carter, keeping him from causing too much chaos in the backfield.

Will Ohio State's offense prevail over Georgia's defense? It will need a lot of yards and a lot of points to do it, which is precisely what you'll be prognosticating in today's contest.

Correctly predict Ohio State's total yards of offense in Saturday night's game and win a $100 gift card from Eleven Warriors Dry Goods. As always, roll with the Price is Right rules – the prize will be awarded to the closest prediction without going over.

Good luck!
