Georgia looked very ordinary winning 13-0 against a weak Canadian selection with many non-Pro players. They looked to be missing Gorgodzhe's leadership possibly too.

I'm picking an upset win for the USA if they pick a strong side as I think Mitchell has done an okay job.

I'm no expert on either side but I think there are enough familiar names in the US lineup for them to challenge here. I'm still picking them for the win.
