The 2023 season is just hours away from kickoff, so here our picks for each Week 1 game for this Friday and Saturday. Our selected winners are underlined. Typically Week 1 is a little tough getting over 75% of the games correct, so let’s see how this plays out.
Predictions aside, this should be another great year of football in the state and we look forward on providing our best coverage yet. In my opinion, our 2023 preview for the season is the best we have ever done.
Enjoy the great weather and incredible football across the state of Georgia this weekend. – David
