Anyone watching the Iron Bowl knows that Alabama (11-1, 6-6 ATS) escaped with a win that they probably didn’t deserve at Auburn on Saturday. However, a win is a win and a matchup against undefeated Georgia (12-0, 8-4 ATS) in the SEC Championship is going to be must-watch television.
As of Monday, the Bulldogs are solid 6.5-point favorites against the Crimson Tide (-255 moneyline) and the over/under is 50.5 points. CLICK HERE to see live odds now!
Georgia’s stifling defense is one of the best units in recent memory, but as a whole, both teams are filled with future NFL talent and five-star recruits. With that being said, this game is very difficult to bet. Do you back Georgia and expect them to completely limit Alabama’s offense all game long? Do you think Nick Saban will out-coach Kirby Smart? Does history between the two teams matter? Does quarterback play become more or less important in this matchup or will it be won in the trenches? Those are just some of the pressing questions that we won’t know until well after kickoff.
Let’s take a look at the top three Alabama trends for this matchup that has massive College Football Playoff implications.
Under Nick Saban, Alabama has gone:
- 15-2 ATS off of two consecutive no-covers where the Crimson Tide won as favorites
- 36-4 SU (+27.3 units) after allowing 75 or less rushing yards in their last game
- 9-1 SU (+8.1 units) after gaining 100 or fewer rushing yards in their last game
