The No. 4 Alabama Crimson Tide are set to host the No. 2 Georgia Bulldogs on Saturday in one of the biggest games of the 2024 college football season. These programs have dominated college football over the past decade, combining for six titles. Both are favored to make the 12-team College Football Playoff field this year, and the winner on Saturday could go a long way in determining which team gets the automatic bid out of the SEC and a bye in the playoffs.

Why Alabama can cover
It's the first taste of this rivalry for head coach Kalen DeBoer, who is replacing the legendary Nick Saban. DeBoer was known for his high-flying offenses at Washington, Fresno State and elsewhere, and the Tide look formidable with him at the helm so far, scoring at least 42 points in all three games.
Both teams are loaded with talent, but Alabama freshman receiver Ryan Williams could be an X-factor. He's one of college football's top breakout players this year with 10 catches for 285 yards and four touchdowns. Georgia will have to respect him as a deep threat, leaving space in the box for quarterback Jalen Milroe and running backs Jam Miller and Justice Haynes to operate. See which team to pick here.
Why Georgia can cover
The Bulldogs will have revenge on their minds after Alabama beat them in the SEC Championship Game last season and knocked them out of the playoff field. The Bulldogs didn't play their best game in a tight win at Kentucky last time out, but they already have one of the most dominant performances of the season on the books, destroying Clemson 34-3 in the season opener. Clemson has since bounced back to blow out Appalachian State and NC State, making the Georgia performance look all the more impressive.
Alabama doesn't have quite the load of NFL prospects for the upcoming draft that it normally does, while Georgia could see quarterback Carson Beck, edge rusher Mykel Williams and safety Malaki Starks go extremely early. See which team to pick here.
