The last team to beat the Georgia Bulldogs will meet them at Mercedes-Benz Stadium on Saturday afternoon for the SEC Championship. The Alabama Crimson Tide stopped the Bulldogs in the 2021 SEC Championship; since then, the Bulldogs have reeled off 29 wins in a row, including a victory over Alabama for the national championship later in that same postseason. Alabama lost at home to Texas in Week 2, but since then, they have won 10 games in a row, including an unlikely comeback at Auburn this past weekend, and they would have a solid argument for a slot in the College Football Playoff if they can knock off Georgia and win the conference title.

Why should you bet on the Alabama Crimson Tide?
Georgia’s case for the College Football Playoff is secure, win or lose, while the Tide have to win to advance to a national semifinal. Only one team ahead of them in the CFP rankings lost last weekend, and that was Ohio State, falling by just three points to Michigan. The Tide have been on fire offensively since Jalen Milroe took charge of the Alabama offense, after the loss to Texas, and Milroe is peaking at the right time. In each of his last three games, he has multiple touchdown passes and a completion rate over 65%.
Milroe can also take off and run with the ball, scampering around the edge to keep the Bulldogs from just blocking the middle of the field. Wide receiver Jermaine Burton – who transferred in from Georgia – has 100+ receiving yards in each of his last two games. If he can have another monster day, then the Tide could find themselves on top – and in the playoff.

Why should you put your money on the Georgia Bulldogs?
There were questions about Georgia coming into 2023, starting at the quarterback position. Stetson Bennett IV led the Bulldogs to back-to-back national championships before leaving for the NFL, leaving Carson Beck to lead the offense. The Georgia attack sputtered a bit in the first third of the regular season, but down the stretch, the offense has taken off, scoring 30 or more points in seven straight games. Beck has thrown for more than 250 yards in six of those wins. The exception came on Saturday, when he only threw for 175 yards, but that was because the running game made moving the ball so easy.
Kendall Milton keyed the running attack against Georgia Tech, picking up 156 of the team’s 262 rushing yards. That should give the O-line confidence with the showdown coming against Alabama. As we saw against Auburn, Alabama will give up big plays, both in the rushing and the passing game, as this is not the same dominant Tide defense we saw in the 2010s. Georgia’s offense is better than its defense, which will make it more capable of matching the Tide if Alabama gets some big plays.

SEC Championship Odds Final Score and Prediction Alabama vs Georgia
It’s possible that Georgia comes out and rolls over Alabama. Given the way the Tide have struggled against some of their SEC competition, including Auburn last week, it’s certainly possible. If you looked at how Auburn cracked at the end of the Iron Bowl, you see that luck – and talent – are so often on the Alabama side of things. I predict a final score of Alabama 30, Georgia 27.
