2. Georgia winning between 1-6 (or the other way if you like Alabama)
LINE: +325 for Georgia, +375 for Alabama
Player prop bets are stupid, but they’re stupid-fun. You do that just to take a flier, and you know what you’re getting into.
Nothing can make you look sillier, though, than getting a prop bet like this wrong.
It’s always wild to go for the value – like Georgia at +700 if it wins by 13-18, or Alabama +1000 if it wins by 13-18 – and it’s super-fun if you’re a super-fan of one side to throw down some coin on a blowout, but picking a close win is a bit more safe and sane.
This is as much wishful thinking than anything else – because I desperately want a good College Football Playoff National Championship – but I really do think this will be close.
I’m expecting field goals and wouldn’t be shocked if this was decided on a walk-off kick either way.
My call is Georgia, and at +325 that’s a nice value. Alabama at +375 is terrific, too, if you’re a believer in the Tide.
And now it’s time to hedge things just a wee bit while staying within the belief system with the most rational call of the bunch …
