No. 2 Georgia, visiting No. 3 Alabama<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>in a matchup of two undefeated teams. Let\u2019s take a deep dive into what could happen in<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tuscaloosa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How Alabama Wins<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kalen DeBoer gets his first taste of one of the great rivalries in college sports and his team has<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>been flying, scoring 42 or more points in all three games. Alabama has been dominant out<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>gaining Wisconsin 407-290 yards two weeks ago on its way to a 42-10 win. Defensively, the<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Crimson Tide has surrendered just under 9 points per game, sixth best in the country. But this<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>will be the best offense they\u2019ve faced all season. If Jalen Milroe, who has completed 67% of his<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>passes, can find his weapons, Alabama can pull off the win.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How Georgia Wins<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is some caution for those who like Georgia after the Bulldogs struggled to get past<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kentucky, 13-12. But remember, they opened the campaign dismantling Clemson, 34-3. It\u2019ll<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>come down to the play of Carson Beck who\u2019s off to a solid start. He has some help in the<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>backfield as Travis Etienne should figure more into the offense. Etienne has 157 yards in two<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>games but hasn\u2019t found the end zone yet. Georgia\u2019s defense is elite, allowing an average of just<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>6 points a game, and hasn\u2019t given up a TD all season. If defensive end Mykel Williams and<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>safety Malaki Starks shutdown the Tide receivers, Georgia should roll.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Best Bet: Over 48.5<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When two of the best quarterbacks take center stage, you\u2019d have to think points will be scored<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>in this one. Carson Beck, the favorite to be the first pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, taking on Jalen<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Milroe. Beck has 7 TD\u2019s this season but didn\u2019t throw for one against Kentucky. His Bulldogs<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>have some game breakers including Trevor Etienne, who could also be looking to make a<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>statement. On the other side of the ball, WR Ryan Williams is the deep threat teams worry<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>about. He has 3 receptions of over 43 yards or more, including an 84-yard reception in Week 1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With two pivots who can generate explosive offenses we should see points in this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Best Player Prop Plays<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Alabama, WR Ryan Willams: Anytime TD (+175)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ryan Williams is a game breaker. He has scored a touchdown in all three games this season,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>and if he can get by the secondary, Milroe will definitely be looking for his receiver. At this price,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>you have to take advantage of it, especially if you assume there will be lots of points scored.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Georgia, WR Colbie Young: Anytime TD (+300)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Colbie Young has just 5 catches in 3 games, but has two touchdowns. That\u2019s a pretty good<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>scoring efficiency rate. Young has shown he is capable of being a red zone target and his 6 &#8216;3<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>frame gives him the ability to get any jump balls up for grabs. And at +300, why the heck not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Game Betting Odds<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Georgia -2.5<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Alabama +2.5<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Total: 48<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Recent Trends<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Georgia is 2-4 ATS in its last 6 games<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Alabama is 10-4 ATS in last 14 games<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Crimson Tide are 29-1 SU at home in last 30 games<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>OVER has hit in 8 of last 10 games for Alabama<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s a clash of two powerhouse programs and a chance for one of these schools to make a major statement&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":13,"featured_media":25346,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[133],"tags":[148],"class_list":["post-25345","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-ncaaf","tag-ncaaf"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.betonline.ag\/news-room\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25345","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.betonline.ag\/news-room\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.betonline.ag\/news-room\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.betonline.ag\/news-room\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/13"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.betonline.ag\/news-room\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=25345"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.betonline.ag\/news-room\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25345\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":25347,"href":"https:\/\/www.betonline.ag\/news-room\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25345\/revisions\/25347"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.betonline.ag\/news-room\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/25346"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.betonline.ag\/news-room\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=25345"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.betonline.ag\/news-room\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=25345"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.betonline.ag\/news-room\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=25345"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
