Bama Hammer Contributor, Jonathan Waldrop
I don’t feel good in the sense that the Tide will beat the 13.5-point spread and I certainly don’t feel confident we’ll win by 20+ points like we have every other game this season. I do, however, feel good that we’re going to win another highly competitive game with Georgia.
I usually don’t feel good about any game Alabama plays in because it’s baked into my DNA to not be confident about anything. I love Alabama football, thusly I worry about it. A lot. No matter how grown it’s gotten over the last decade plus, I’m always concerned for its well being. It’s my Baby Tide.
That being said, I love how competitive this team has been all season. Even considering the slow starts of the last two games, they’ve come out ready in the second half to put the hammer down. Yes, this 2018 UGA team is a different beast from The Citadel and Auburn, but they’re exploitable. You can beat them through the air and on the ground and they haven’t seen an offense like this all season. Certainly not one with the Tide’s weapons.
I’m thinking this one’s going to be a bit of an offensive showing, or as much of one that two lumbering programs like Alabama and Georgia can put together. Big plays will occur on both sides, but ironically enough, I think it’s a field goal or two that we make that puts is over the top. I feel good about this one, guys.
