Georgia is 12-0, but only 5-7 ATS. They don’t cover much but 11 of their spreads were double-digits, some very high double-double-digits. Georgia has a new QB this season with Carson Beck but the number is cheap. It’s always about the number and the only game Georgia played as a single-digit favorite was laying -8 at Tennessee and Georgia won 38-10. Alabama is 7-2 ATS in their last nine but Georgia has this. Beck is the key, I'm betting on him to make more plays than Alabama QB Jalen Milroe. Georgia to cover.
Georgia's problem this year has been boredom. When the opponent hasn't posed a threat, the Bulldogs have looked merely very good. But against ranked opponents, Georgia has been great, winning by 27.5 points per game. Boredom won't be an issue today against Alabama. Also, I expect the Bulldogs to force Tide quarterback Jalen Milroe to make throws that he doesn't want to throw. Give me two units on Georgia.
These are phenomenal defenses, but don't let that distract you from the fact both teams have highly potent offenses as well. This is one of those times when there are simply too many dudes capable of creating big plays.
I have Georgia winning by a touchdown in this one, but I expect the game to be fairly high-scoring with a point total going into the 60's.
Both teams are playing outstanding football heading into this game, and I think they each got caught looking ahead to this matchup in their surprisingly close games last week. For me, Georgia is the better team on both sides. I expect a bit of a shootout, with the Bulldogs winning by a touchdown.
Wow! This is definetly a heavyweight title fight. Bama survived the Iron Bowl last week with a last second touchdown pass by Jalen Milroe. Georgia is undefeated once again headed in the SEC Title game but it has been Nick Saban's game going 3-0 versus Kirby Smart. Saban's only loss to Smart was the 2021 season National Championship Game. Both teams have big strong offensive and defensive fronts. The QB's have very similar stats. Give me the points in what looks like a coin flip game to me.
Although the Georgia Bulldogs have a better offense and defense, the Alabama Crimson Tide has a great chance to keep this within the number. Alabama has faced more formidable teams, and a win in this game is crucial for them to make the playoff bracket. My model shows that the Bulldogs will win by five points, so I am happy to take the extra 1.5 and bet on Alabama with the 6.5-point spread.
The SEC Championship Game generally produces high-scoring games as 12 of the last 14 have gone over, including the last three where an average of 81 points per game have been scored. Alabama is 8-0 to the Over in these title games and is 7-0-1 to the Over in their last eight games in 2023. Let's ride the wave, though I think Georgia finds a way to remain unbeaten. Georgia 34, Alabama 27.
Don't know about you, but I'm getting a little tired of this matchup. Georgia's defense gets all the hype, but that Carson Beck-led offense has scored at least 30 points in seven straight games. Meanwhile, Tide leading rusher Jase McClellan is questionable because of a left foot injury suffered in Saturday's miracle win at Auburn. UGA kept some key players out for Saturday's win at Georgia Tech (like Brock Bowers), but that was to simply ensure they were ready for this one.
