Why Alabama can cover
Alabama quarterback Jalen Milroe is a Heisman contender after a fast start to the season. He's 35-for-52 passing for 590 yards, eight touchdowns and no interceptions. His feet are what might separate him from his counterpart, Carson Beck, as Milroe has already run for 156 yards and six touchdowns this season.
Freshman Ryan Williams has been the big-play threat for Alabama thus far, averaging a whopping 28.5 yards per reception. He's had a reception of at least 43 yards in all three games thus far. Germie Bernard is another strong option in the passing game. He played for DeBoer at Washington last year and he's made eight catches for 125 yards and a score for Alabama in 2024.

Why Georgia can cover
Bettors might be cautious about backing Georgia after it struggled at Kentucky, but the Bulldogs also have one of the most impressive wins of the season on their resume, blasting Clemson 34-3 in Week 1 and covering with 20 points to spare. Quarterback Carson Beck is a potential top overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, and he's off to a fast start, completing 56 of 82 passes for 680 yards, seven touchdowns and no interceptions.
On the other side of the ball, Georgia is loaded with high-end talent, most notably defensive end Mykel Williams, who is day-to-day with an ankle injury, and safety Malaki Starks. Georgia ranks third nationally in scoring defense, giving up just 6.0 points per game through three games. See which team to pick here.
