Alabama vs Georgia Prediction
Both of these teams come into this game with a 5-0 record, so this is a huge tilt in the SEC. Alabama has scored 45+ points in five straight games, while Georgia has scored 41+ in four out of five. The Bulldogs have had the slightly better defense, but Alabama did limit a very good Mississippi State offense to just 23 points last week. This is a great game between two strong teams, but it will be impacted by bad weather, which will make it really interesting. Take the under here, as we anticipate the bad weather.
