Georgia @ Alabama

[Knightrofins]

Fallica put up a stat saying that Bama has just forced 3 3 and outs out of 34 drives

UGA forced 3 and outs 50% of the time.

This should be a good game. The bama defense has some flaws and nobody is disputed that. Bama also is scoring like crazy

Lets just hope Kirby doesnt fake a punt on his own 40 on 4th and 11 in the 4th quarter while leading or tied

I'm not betting the game but the over 57 looks good as i think each team puts up 30

Sounds crazy based on what we've seen but I like Bama by up to 2 scores in this game in Tuscaloosa. Reminds me of LSU UGA last year... "UGA will shut them down etc" and LSU rolled em. Mac Jones is playing at a high level, I'd even go out on a limb and say he fits better in this offense than Tua. I have no doubt Bama won't hang 50+ on UGA but they'll get theirs, too much talent at WR and RB to be completely shut down. I just don't think UGA will be able to keep up, I think Bennett gets rattled a bit here in this spot, maybe a bad pick or 2 on a forced throw into coverage.

I also can't grade Bama's defense against Ole Miss at face value. Kiffin's offense is an anomaly right now for all these SEC schools, not gimmicky but not something they can prepare against. UGA certainly isn't going to be running no huddle up tempo all night long. They're built to run first and tbh they didn't look great against Tenn although Cook being out didn't help. Regardless I'm very excited for this CFP game we're all treated to in week 7*. 42-27 Bama

Interesting to note
In the past 12 years when Alabama lined games went off at 6 or less at home they are 0-3 SUATS @home

You know as well as I do Saban has been practicing for UGA for 2 weeks now. Don't get blinders on over Bamas play this weekend. They might not be the Bama D they once were, but I don't see this game being a shootout. Should be a good old school SEC game :toast:

I agree. I have Bama winning by 38-24.
Not a homer play. I haven't bet them this season but will in this game.

I would like someone to explain HOW any of this helps anyone select a side to wager on. This forum used to be an open exchange of ideas and information that might help select the correct side.......but it has evolved into just another bullshit forum of insults.

Big Wang is a straight re-re, LSUPete. He provides 0 valuable information.

Clover - I'm still not sold on Mac being a great qb - this game will tell a lot

The UGA QB play will be what makes or breaks this game. They have the secondary to slow down those elite WRs. I do think they will get pressure on Jones. If the mailman doesn't turn the ball over I see it as UGA game to lose. The key to a Bama win is making Stetson look like who he should be and Harris has to have a big night. Lot of people are doubting the Bama D from last week, but Ole Miss has a very legit O. I don't see this game as a shootout. More of a 28-24 type game. Special teams will loom.

Some stats from tweeter:

The last 2 UGA-ALA games and Georgia has been tied or in the lead for 119 of the 120 minutes (118:55, actually), yet is 0-2.

The last eight times Alabama has been favored by less than seven points, the Tide are 3-5 straight-up (lost last three) and 1-7 ATS.


These were cut and paste stats

Kirby's defense has an Achilles heel. They struggle with mobile QBs....Tua (in 2017), Hurts (2018), Burrow (2018 & 2019), Baker (2017)....that's about it in the last 4 years. His defenses at Bama did as well. It has carried over.

Problem is Mac Jones is not very mobile. He is gonna be in for a long night. Guessing Bama will play a lot of screen game. They will not be able to run the ball and UGA will kill Mac in the pocket.

UGA has a suspect QB. He lacks arm strength but is very mobile. He throws better on the run than he does in the pocket. Bama will likely rush 4 and focus on keeping him in the pocket. Key for Bama is keeping the UGA QB in the pocket and collapse it. If they can't do that, then they in trouble. Have to play disciplined gap protections which I expect they will.

The sheer talent and depth UGA possesses on their defensive front 7 is unlike either UGA D that blew those last games with Bama. This defense is the best the SEC has seen since Kirby's days at Bama.

I for the life of me can't see either scoring 30 points....maybe just maybe one can score 31 but they will need a turnover in favorable field position to get there. 27-23 type game...26-20 is a possibility. There will be FGs in bunches by both teams. Neither gets more than 430 yds or so in offense.

On a neutral field, UGA wins the game. In Tuscaloosa, it is a toss up....Bama has the coaching edge. That very well could be the difference. But in a game that points will be hard to come by, I would take the points. Bama's best chance to cover the number will be turnovers by UGA and that is usually so hard to predict.

UGA has a nice D, the QB scares me not a fan of the small white QB for Georgia.

I will go with this high IQ QB, every time, he is also quick and very talented overall.
Bama defense is the worst they have had in recent memory...
Georgia 41-30.

Over.

This is my thinking also

 

[tulah]

Bama defense allowing more big plays this year but Georgia QB can’t win this game alone. I personally think Bama by 10+

 

[Knightrofins]

They still gonna play?

 

[thebiggbird]

Sources say Saben has china flu.

[Cheddar]

The AD also has it. He said they have been very conscious about wearing masks, social distancing, etc. So tell me how they got it?
