Alabama breaks down as Georgia matchup winners of Significant College Football Upset in Week 5……..
This game will be the first regular-season meeting between the 2 teams since 2020. With Georgia sitting as a 1.5-point favorite (FanDuel), it’ll be the first game for Alabama at Bryant-Denny Stadium as an underdog since 2007.know It’ll be the first meeting between Kirby Smart and new Tide head coach Kalen DeBoer. And it’s a game Alabama has completely controlled in recent history. The Crimson Tide have won 8 of the last 9 against the Dawgs, including last year’s meeting for the SEC title
The matchups all over the field are enticing. Alabama has the sixth-ranked scoring offense. Georgia has the third-ranked scoring defense. Alabama ranks 12th nationally in net success rate, but hasn’t exactly been tested (114th in strength of schedule). Georgia hasn’t been operating at expected efficiency, but the Dawgs have already faced Clemson and Kentucky away from home.
