Georgia at Alabama odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s Georgia at Alabama odds and lines, with college basketball expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The Georgia Bulldogs (15-6, 3-5 Big Ten) and Alabama Crimson Tide (18-3, 7-1) meet Saturday in Tuscaloosa. The opening tip at Coleman Coliseum will be at 4 p.m. ET (ESPN2). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s college basketball odds around the Georgia vs. Alabama odds, and make our expert college basketball picks and predictions.

Georgia last played Tuesday, snapping a 4-game losing streak with a 71-60 triumph (as a -7.5) over South Carolina. The Bulldogs, who shot just 40.5% from the field over the skid, shot 51% from the floor and 46.7% from 3-point range in the win.

Alabama — No. 4 in the USA TODAY Sports Men’s Basketball Coaches Poll — is back at home after a successful road trip to Mississippi State Wednesday. The Crimson Tide defeated the No. 11 Bulldogs, who were 1.5-point favorites, 88-84. UA banged home 15 triples in running its since-the-beginning-of-December mark to 12-1.

Georgia at Alabama picks and predictions

Prediction

Alabama 86, Georgia 75

Moneyline

No interest. PASS.

Against the spread

UA is 1-2 ATS over its last 3 home games.

The Tide are much the better all-around team here, but the Bulldogs have acquitted themselves well in most of their Quad I contests. Look for Georgia’s ability to get to the foul line and also generate second-chance points as being hidden addition factors that give the Bulldogs enough of a probability of keeping this one to a single-digit deficit.

TAKE GEORGIA +12.5 (-110).

Over/Under

The Over is 5-1-1 across the last 7 series meetings.

Alabama, which has tiled on Over in 3 of its last 4, plays very fast. The mid-paced Bulldogs have done well to slow down speed teams in the past, but this UA tempo is something different. Both sides can get to the foul line with frequency and pile up extended-possession looks off rebounds. Both also have some slightly suspect perimeter-defense numbers.

Peg the OVER 159.5 (-115) as the leverage play in this one.

Georgia at Alabama odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s Georgia at Alabama odds and lines, with college football expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The top-ranked Georgia Bulldogs (3-0, 1-0 SEC) travel to meet the 4th-ranked Alabama Crimson Tide (3-0, 0-0) Saturday in a conference game at Bryant-Denny Stadium in Tuscaloosa. Kickoff is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. ET (ABC/ESPN+). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s college football odds around the Georgia vs. Alabama odds, and make our expert college football picks and predictions.

The Bulldogs hit the road for Tuscaloosa looking to solve the problem that has been the Crimson Tide. Alabama leads the all-time series 43-26-4, with the Tide winning 8 of the past 9 meetings. That includes the CFP National Championship Game in Atlanta Jan. 8, 2018, a 26-23 win by the Tide.

Georgia’s only victory in the past 9 tries against Alabama came in the CFP National Championship Game in Indianapolis Jan. 10, 2022, a 33-18 victory. The teams have met 4 times in the past 12 years since Dec. 1, 2012, in the SEC Championship Game, with the Tide winning each of those outings.

The Bulldogs are coming off a 13-12 victory at Kentucky last time out on Sept. 14, but it obviously came nowhere near covering as a 21.5-point favorite as the Under (45) cashed. The Under is 3-0 in 3 tries, with the defense allowing just 6 FGs and 0 TDs all season.

The Crimson Tide had a game similar to the Georgia game at Kentucky. Alabama had its hands full with USF of all teams. On Sept. 7, Bama led just 21-16 with 5:50 to go before pulling away with 3 TDs to make it 42-16.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4132″ ]

Georgia at Alabama picks and predictions

Prediction

Georgia 26, Alabama 20

Moneyline

GEORGIA (-115) is worth a look in this road battle. The Bulldogs have lost 8 of the past 9 games in this series, but they’re the better team here.

While Georgia struggled mightily at Kentucky, QB Carson Beck should come back strong, and the Bulldogs defense should be able to slow QB Jalen Milroe.

The coaching scales are tipped in UGA’s favor, too, as Kalen DeBoer gets his first taste of this ultra-intense rivalry, and it will be too much against Kirby Smart in his first go-around.

Against the spread

Don’t risk pushing on Georgia -1 (-110) just to save the 5 cents.

AVOID.

Over/Under

UNDER 49.5 (-110) is the lean based on the defense of Georgia.

Alabama cashed the Over in a 42-10 spanking of Wisconsin on the road, no less. The Tide have scored 42 or more points in all 3 games to date, but they haven’t faced the likes of the Bulldogs defense. In fact, they’ve seen nothing even close. Not many have.

Georgia will give up its 1st TD, but points should still be at a premium in this titanic matchup. Go low.

First look: Georgia at Alabama odds and lines

Looking at Saturday’s Georgia at Alabama college football odds, lines and trends. Here’s what you need to know.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

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.

Usually when these teams meet, there is a lot on the line, they’ve met for the national title twice in the past 6 meetings, while facing each other 4 times for the SEC Championship since 2012.

Alabama is 3-1 ATS in the past 4 in the series, while the Over is 6-3-1 in the past 10 meetings.

First look: Georgia vs. Alabama odds and lines

Looking at Georgia Bulldogs vs. Alabama Crimson Tide CFP National Championship college football odds, lines and trends. Here’s what you need to know.

The Georgia Bulldogs (13-1) and Alabama Crimson Tide (13-1) meet Monday in the CFP National Championship presented by AT&T at Lucas Oil Field in Indianapolis. Below, we look at the Georgia vs. Alabama odds and lines; check back for our NFL picks and predictions.

The Bulldogs bounced back from a loss to the Crimson Tide in the SEC Championship Game by routing Michigan 34-11 in the CFP Semifinal at the Orange Bowl. UGA has alternated covers and non-covers in each of its last nine outings.

The Crimson Tide have the confidence of blasting Georgia 41-24 at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in the SEC title game Dec. 4. The Tide also rolled 27-6 over Cincinnati in their CFP Semifinal at the Cotton Bowl Classic in Arlington, Texas.

SEC Championship: Georgia vs. Alabama odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Saturday’s Georgia Bulldogs vs. Alabama Crimson Tide odds and lines, with college football expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The No. 1 Georgia Bulldogs (12-0) and No. 2 Alabama Crimson Tide (11-1) battle in the SEC Championship Game Saturday at 4 p.m. ET at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta. Below, we look at the Georgia vs. Alabama odds and lines, and make our expert college football picks, predictions and bets.

The East Division champion Bulldogs haven’t been tested for a while, but that’s more their fault — for being just that good — than that of the SEC schedule makers. Even in three midseason games against ranked foes (Oct. 2-16), UGA outscored Arkansas, Auburn, and Kentucky 101-23. The Bulldogs head into this contest having allowed just 6.9 points per game (first FBS).

The West Division champion Crimson Tide is coming off a four-overtime barn-burner against Auburn (24-22 win).

With QB Bryce Young leading the way, Alabama’s passing game has cranked out 372.3 passing yards per game over the team’s last seven contests. Though not without a couple of near-missteps along the way, UA has won six in a row since falling to Texas A&M on Oct. 9.

Georgia vs. Alabama odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Georgia 31, Alabama 23

Money line

Georgia is the lean but is only an actionable play to about -240. PASS.

Against the spread

The Bulldogs are a run-first offense, but they can be balanced and dangerous on key drives. The Alabama pass defense is gettable, especially for a team that can attack it with balance. The Georgia offense is efficient in staying ahead of the chains and taking care of the ball.

The sensational UGA defense should give the Bulldogs enough leeway to build a lead and get this game into the fourth with a two-score lead. There is some rook for a back-door falter against the number. But a lock-down, vice grip on something in the 7-to-10-point range is also all too likely.

BACK GEORGIA -6.5 (-115).

Over/Under

The public has often envisioned too much SEC defensive chessboard when these two programs meet. The perception has been off, making for profit potential for Over bettors.

The Over is 7-1-1 in the last nine meetings between UGA and UA. That includes last year when the total was set 56 in an October meeting.

Alabama’s ability to make big plays and minimize havoc in the passing game make for enough ammo on that side of the equation.

For Georgia, passing efficiency and big plays through the air get added to the mix. The result is a game with a decent potential to reach the 50s.

TAKE THE OVER 48.5 (-112).
