Why Georgia can cover

The Bulldogs haven't lost since the aforementioned 2021 SEC Championship Game and during their 29-game winning streak, they've won by double-digits 24 times. Brock Bowers is expected to return for this game after sitting last week against Georgia Tech because of ankle soreness.

One of the nation's top playmakers, he'll be used all over the field to create mismatches against an Alabama defense that has given up at least 20 points in six of its last seven games. The Georgia offense has averaged 7.2 yards per play this season and the Bulldogs have been exceptionally balanced, running the ball 423 times and throwing it 399 times. See picks at SportsLine. 

Why Alabama can cover

The Crimson Tide are on a 10-game winning streak since losing at home to Texas in Week 2. Jalen Milroe's miraculous touchdown pass on 4th-and-goal from the 31-yard line last week in the Iron Bowl helped keep Alabama's hopes of playing in the College Football Playoff alive and the Crimson Tide will be seeking their eighth SEC title in the last 12 years.

After briefly being benched earlier in the season, Milroe has gone on to pass for 2,526 yards and 21 touchdowns with only six interceptions while also rushing for 439 yards and 12 scores. Alabama has rushed for 954 yards over its last four games and will be looking to exploit a Georgia defense that has given up at least 150 rushing yards in three of its last four games. See picks at SportsLine.
