1. Revenge will be a huge factor after last season. Being in the same location with probably an 80/20 split on fans at the game in favor of Georgia, and now not being surprised by Tagovailoa will play a huge advantage to Georgia.

2. 13.5 Underdog gives Georgia everything they need for bulletin board material combined with the fact this leads to it being more pressure on Alabama to win rather than Georgia.

3. UGA rushing will be the best rushing team Alabama has faced all year and we struggle with stopping the run.

4. UGA special teams is lightyears above Bama and our special teams are the worst under Saban which will lead to a favorable field position for UGA.

5. UGA defense will put pressure on Tua all game long. I don’t think anyone is better at a defensive game plan to slow down Tua than Kirby. I expect to see pressure all day and without our ability to run the football consistently it will hurt Bama.

For all our sakes, I hope I’m wrong. However, I just think Alabama football finally is in a close game and our team struggles to find a win with everything pointing to a UGA upset.

Game Prediction: Georgia 28 – Alabama 27

There you have it Alabama football fans. One pick the Tide wins easily. Three picks the Tide wins buts does not cover and two picks with UGA upsets. Let’s all hope the one pick showing a comfortable win is correct.
