Why Georgia can cover
Georgia has already proven that it can compete with the best teams in the SEC, nearly pulling off an upset as an 8-point home underdog against then-No. 5 Tennessee earlier this month. The Bulldogs also went on the road and lost by single digits at Kentucky. Their third conference loss came in overtime at Florida, and they have won their other four games in league play.
The Bulldogs are led by Jabri Abdur-Rahim, who is averaging 13.4 points per game, sitting ahead of Noah Thomasson (11.9) and RJ Melendez (11.1). Alabama is just 2-2 in true road games this season, and it is in a trap spot after cracking the top 25 again. The Crimson Tide have only covered the spread twice in their last seven road games, while Georgia has covered in six of its last seven games.
Why Alabama can cover
Alabama has dominated this head-to-head series in recent years, winning and covering the spread in five of the last six meetings. The Crimson Tide cruised to a 108-59 victory when these teams met last season, easily covering the spread as 18.5-point favorites. They have covered the spread in five of their last six games this year to jump to the top of the SEC standings.
The Crimson Tide are coming off a 109-88 win against LSU after beating then-No. 8 Auburn earlier in the week. Veteran guard Mark Sears leads the team with 20.0 points per game, shooting 52% from the floor and 43.7% from 3-point range. He is joined in double figures by Aaron Estrada (12.9), Grant Nelson (12.2) and Rylan Griffen (10.7). See which team to pick here.
