Alabama vs Georgia Prediction

I’m on Alabama in this one. I get why you could look at Georgia, as this is still a young Georgia team with a lot of talent. However, the Bulldogs also have had issues competing and keeping games close on the road, losing to the likes of Florida by 30 and Tennessee by 18 as well as Ole Miss by 12 scoring just 51 points. I think that Alabama is too potent offensively for Georgia to keep pace with here and as such, I’ll roll with the Crimson Tide in this one.
