Tampa Bay Buccaneers cornerback Richard Sherman is rolling with Alabama in the national championship. Sherman does not think the game will be close.
Sherman thinks Georgia and Alabama should have played again in the College Football Playoff semifinals. Sherman would have ranked Cincinnati over Georgia in the final CFP rankings due to the Bearcats’ undefeated season.
Sherman, who made the pick on his podcast, does not understand why Georgia is favored in the game (according to the Tipico Sportsbook, the Bulldogs are favored by 2.5 points). Sherman, an 11-season NFL veteran, predicts Alabama will win 35-17.
Sherman notably played with the Seattle Seahawks from 2011-2017. He has won one Super Bowl in his NFL career.
Fortunately, the national championship game still has to be played. Sherman knows a lot about football, but he does not follow college as closely as the NFL. Throughout the week, the media is expected to side with Alabama and why not?
Nick Saban and Alabama are the gold standard in this era of college football. Alabama has won seven straight games over UGA. Georgia should not be picked to defeat Alabama until it actually beats the Crimson Tide on the field.
