Alabama vs Georgia Prediction
Both of these teams come into this matchup with 3-0 records on the season and the winner of this game will be in the drivers seat in the SEC. Georgia really struggled with Kentucky in their last game, but they were able to escape with a one point win. Alabama dominated Wisconsin on the road last time out and their offense has been very good in all three games. This should be another epic game in this series between these two teams, but I have to give Alabama the edge at home. I do think points are going to be at a premium between these two, but I think Milroe will make a few more plays than Beck. Take Alabama here.
