Depends on the line, but Im most interest in the total. The under could be really interesting.

This will be the first time the ESPN Game day crew visits Athens in the last 10 years. Should be a really hyped game for sure.

Hmm pretty undecided. I think Bama with a fair line could bank

Georgia is a pretty damned good football team. This was the first time that I've had a chance to watch them....Their defense really impressed me yesterday holding ASU to -4 yards rushing on their own field..They may not make the spread in every game..But it's going to be hard to take the Dawgs out this season.

This is a no-play for me. UGA is too good and I don't think they have hit their full potential (w/ the injuries to the OL in the pre-season). Once they get it together they will be dangerous. UGA looked mediocre vs South Carolina (and got a gift on that idiotic fumble SC had going into the endzone to tie it). But, they started off slow last year as well.

I'm not totally sold on Alabama. This is a team playing w/ a lot of emotion....and only 60 scholarship players. As the season wears on it will likely take it's toll. UGA beat them in OT last year, so there is a minor revenge factor for Bama. Arkansas is plain bad, so I don't put much stock in that win (and they threw 2 pick 6's and a few other ridiculous turnovers that lead to the lopsided final score).

This will be a no-play.

BTW, did any of you see Wake Forest kick FSU's ass last night??

Agree with most everything you said here. I did believe that the UGA offense would look much better against ASU than it did SC because SC defense is actually pretty good and they just matchup well with UGA.

I also agree that UGA is a team who is not even close to peaking yet and once their OL develops some chemistry and continues to grow and get better, Stafford will continue to get better as a passer, and AJ Green being a serious #1 WR in the SEC, they are going to be very tough to beat. Richt is now 28-4 on the road which is outstanding and they get their hard-nosed fullback Sutherland back this week so Moreno should welcome that with open arms.

I am not completly sold on Bama either and this game will tell me how for-real they really are.

Somebody on a UGA site said the early line was UGA -8. I find that hard to believe. UGA is wearing the black jerseys if anyone cares. Calling for a "blackout" on Saturday.

Great game in store. Georgia offensive line will be tested. Saban is a master defensive coach and rarely lets one player beat him. Don't expect a big game from Moreno as Nick will key on him. Mark being a brilliant mind of his own will counter with contingency plan. Bama has enough weapons on offense to keep it close though. Gonna be a goody

As usual turnovers, weapons, and special teams will be key. Usually what happens when two top tier teams clash.

Georgia has been tested with @South Carolina (strong physical d) and @Arizona State. Alabama hasn't been tested...the last three opponents have been a joke after they beat an overrated Clemson in the dome.

Also don't underestimate the effect of the black out Georgia is doing at there stadium for this game, it worked great for the Auburn game and really pumped up the fans/players. First time in 10 years ESPN Game Day is coming to Athens too...

Moreno is looking incredible (another 150 yard rushing, 2 TD, flying leap versus ASU), Stafford has the poise of a NFL quaterback, AJ Green which is a true freshman had 160 yards recieving versus ASU, and in case you didn't see held ASU to 4 yards on the ground....its lowest total in over 6 seasons. The defense is clicking on all cylinders.

The 11 game win streak UGA is on just caps it off...I say UGA wins by atleast 10

Agreed and the reason they ran it up on ASU was to get respect in the polls and to stay in shot of a national title bowl game.. They will look to shut down bama as well..
