I win $200 more if Bama wins, and I'm a fan. So, I'll be rooting for the Tide. But, I have a bad feeling about this game.
I think Georgia is going to win.
Both teams have good defenses. Bama's is better. But, I think the difference in offenses is bigger, and the Dawgs are better there.
The 1-2 punch of Chubb and Michel is as good as any two college RB's I remember. Georgia doesn't ask much of their freshman QB, but... He's been able to deliver when called upon. I think he's light years better, already, than Hurts.
UGA will be able to stuff Bama. Bama will stuff UGA MOST of the time. But, I think the Dawgs will run enough to win this game.
If Bama can get some SCORES on defense, like they did against Clemson, they'll likely win. But, defensive scores require some luck. Without them, I see Georgia pulling out a low scoring, close win.
sure hope I'm wrong.

I like Bama in this game, but they will need more creativity on offense than they showed versus Clemson. Bama's D will contain Chubb and Michel. Clemson or Bama would beat UGA, IMO. To beat Bama you have to have a gunslinger - Watson, Manziel, Chad Kelly. Not sure if Fromm is that guy.... |

In 2014, Ohio State had Ezekial Elliot and they beat Alabama. Georgia has two good RBs, and a stingy D.
I've also seen Alabama suffocate teams that try to out-physical them

One more stat...of the Big 6 of the SEC, only Georgia has not won a National Championship in the major SEC years. Alabama took it from them in 2012 in the SEC Championship game. The Bulldogs have been on the fringe before....in 2002, in 2007, and 2012.
It might finally be their time. I don't expect Alabama to come out as prepared and ferocious with just 1 week to prepare.

In the Clemson Game BAMA lost another LB and an OLineman who had started every game this season. I am amazed we have advanced this far, all things considered. |

Last thoughts on tonights game....I don't see how Georgia wins. Hurts is a better player than people give him credit for. He doesn't pass well? Well, he doesn't have to...this isn't the NFL. Hurts plays spectacular tonight, and wins Saban a co-championship with UCF       Alabama 31 Georgia 12 |
