The top-ranked Georgia Bulldogs (3-0, 1-0 SEC) and the 4th-ranked Alabama Crimson Tide (3-0) meet Saturday in a titanic SEC matchup at Bryant-Denny Stadium in Tuscaloosa. Kickoff is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. ET (ABC/ESPN+). Below, we look at Georgia vs. Alabama odds from BetMGM Sportsbook’s college football odds before making our expert college football picks and predictions later in the week.
The top Dawgs are coming off a bye after narrowly escaping 13-12 in a road game at Kentucky in the SEC opener on Sept. 14. Georgia came nowhere near covering the 21.5-point spread, obviously, and it was lucky it didn’t get caught looking ahead to Bama.
The Under has cashed in all 3 games for Georgia, with the Bulldogs defense allowing just 18 total points, or 6.0 PPG. UGA has allowed just 91.3 passing yards per game, and 202.0 total yards per game, too.
Alabama racked up a 42-10 win at Wisconsin on Saturday, covering as a 14-point road favorite. The offense has put up 42 or more points in all 3 games this season.
The last time the Crimson Tide was home, it was a bit sluggish, however, leading USF just 21-16 late into the 4th quarter before scoring 21 points in the final 5:50 to pull away.
