Georgia vs. Alabama Kicks Off SEC Title Rematch With Playoff Stakes

Oddsmakers make Georgia a slight favorite, with models split.

Overview

  • Kickoff is 4 p.m. ET at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, with national coverage on ABC.
  • Official availability lists Georgia center Drew Bobo among the inactives, Alabama defensive lineman LT Overton out, Georgia’s Talyn Taylor and Chauncey Bowens cleared, and Alabama running back Jam Miller questionable.
  • Sportsbooks price Georgia at roughly -2 to -2.5 with moneyline around -124 to -140 and a total near 47.5–48.5.
  • Forecasts diverge, with Dimers’ simulations giving Alabama about a 52% chance to win while SportsLine’s model projects the game to go over the total.
  • Playoff positioning is on the line, as a Georgia win would lock a first-round bye while an Alabama victory would strengthen its at-large case.
