Georgia will be looking for revenge against Alabama after the Crimson Tide won a classic in Tuscaloosa against the Bulldogs last season. Georgia stormed all the way back from a huge early deficit, but a long Ryan Williams touchdown late in the game proved to be the difference in Alabama’s 41-34 win.
The outcome of this game could have a huge impact on who gets to the SEC Championship Game this season. Along with Texas, the Bulldogs and Crimson Tide are amongst the leaders in the preseason SEC title betting odds.
Alabama is 44-26-4 all-time against Georgia. This will be the first time these programs have met in Athens since 2015. UGA’s most recent home win over the Tide came way back in 2003.
