Paul Finebaum says all the pressure is on Georgia, the betting favorite, heading into Monday night’s College Football Playoff National Championship.

Beating a top team twice in the same season is always a big challenge, but Finebaum says Alabama has the mental advantage for Monday night’s game after defeating Georgia for a conference title.

“It’s hard to get the SEC Championship Game out of one’s mind,” Finebaum said during an appearance on WJOX’s McElroy and Cubelic In The Morning. “While I think there’s enormous pressure on Georgia, I don’t think there is any (pressure) on Alabama. I’ve never seen Alabama come into a championship game with less pressure. They’ve already overcome everything.”

Finebaum added that he expects to see Nick Saban’s squad to play loose Monday night. The SEC Network host isn’t so sure the Bulldogs are ready for Round 2 with the Crimson Tide.

“We’ve heard a lot of rhetoric and I’m not sure I’ve bought too much of it coming from the Georgia side,” Finebaum said.

We’ll see if Finebaum’s assessments hold up or if his “rat poison” impacts the outcome.
