Matchup predictor: Georgia has a 39.6% chance to win, according to ESPN’s Football Power Index.

Series history: Currently, Alabama leads the all-time series 40-25-4, with the Bulldogs last win coming in 2007.

Prediction: This game is a matchup between one of the most prolific offenses in the nation versus the best defense. Bama has weapons sure, but what can Mac Jones do when he has three Bulldog rushers in his face every dropback?

I’m taking the Bulldogs 32-28.
