By kickoff, the odds could have changed so much that Bama is a -1 favorite. Keep reading why on Jan. Injuries must be the reason the Tide are an underdog against the Dawgs because if we go off what happened in the SEC Championship on Dec.
The onus is on Georgia to do something different on Monday night. Alabama versus Georgia is like that. Bama has won 7 straight against their top SEC rivals. Georgia last won in The Bulldogs must get over the mental edge the Crimson Tide will bring into this game. Milroe figures to get some playing time on Monday. He can also provide run-pass option plays that help Bama move the ball and score touchdowns.
Tight-end Brock Bowers and running back James Cook are both terrific receivers. Kirby Smart used to work for Nick Saban, which might explain why Smart is against his former boss. Saban knows the systems Kirby likes to employ. So any changes on offense will be small. On defense, the only thing Georgia can really do is blitz Young. Any way we look at it, Alabama should win.
On Monday night, the Crimson Tide will have no trouble not only covering the spread but also beating Georgia and winning the National Championship.

The Tigers' unexpected rise to the top of the rankings had a lot to do with a punishing ground game that led the nation in yards per game Tre Mason was the team leader in rushing with 1, yards and 22 touchdowns on carries, but another game changer for Auburn was the play of quarterback Nick Marshall.
He was not asked to do too much in the passing game with just 1, yards on throws, but he averaged 6. Auburn's bend but do not break defense allowed an average of 24 points to complement an offense that racked-up The Seminoles went on to answer every test they faced en route to a perfect SU run, but overall strength of schedule continues to dog their legitimacy as the top team in the land.
One thing we know for sure is that Florida State was another team that was a financial boon to the bankroll this season with an mark ATS. There are very few game scripts where Alabama will find itself in new territory, and that confidence in being able to overcome any in-game setback is a mental edge that powers my pick.
David Cobb : Alabama's back was against the wall when these teams met on Dec. The Crimson Tide turned in a second quarter for the ages and raced to a victory that de-legitimized Georgia's accomplishments during a dominant regular season. The nature of that loss -- with the Crimson Tide dissecting UGA's celebrated defense -- will motivate the Bulldogs, who will use what they learned to play much better defensively in the rematch. This time, it's Georgia playing with a chip on its shoulder, and that will show as the Bulldogs finally breakthrough for the program's first national championship in over four decades.
Shehan Jeyarajah : Alabama was the first team that was truly able to challenge Georgia downfield, and the results speak for themselves. While Metchie is out, Brooks proved he can be a game-breaking deep threat in the win over Cincinnati. While Georgia will make changes and have a strong game plan heading into the Dawgs' biggest game in decades, I'm not betting against Saban in an adjustment contest.
Jerry Palm : Alabama and Saban know how to do two things well: win championships and beat Georgia. The Tide are looking for a seventh straight win over the Dawgs. Georgia got torched in the teams' first meeting in the SEC title game, but look for both teams to make adjustments for the rematch. I trust Saban to make the better ones. Adam Silverstein: It's not often you'll get Saban and Alabama as an underdog, and while I will wait to try and get a full field goal prior to kickoff, the Tide are the right side.
Georgia opened some eyes by throttling Michigan in the semifinal, while Alabama picked up as ho-hum a point win as I can remember over Cincinnati.
Anderson and Dean are a wash at linebacker. Georgia is stronger up front, but we've already seen it struggle to get after and contain Young. Bama has the edge overall at the offensive skill positions, and we've seen more than once how defenses can wear down with playmakers taking over late.
The Dawgs will have every chance to compete and potentially win this game, but my slim edge goes to the Tide. Jack Crosby : I have learned far too often to rarely bet against Saban and the Tide, no matter what the numbers from Las Vegas may suggest. Georgia was impressive in its Orange Bowl semifinal win over Michigan, but I still can't shake the fact that it was mere weeks ago we witnessed that Alabama knows how to tame the Bulldogs when it matters the most.
I expect a very competitive game, but I also see the Alabama offensive line stepping up again, allowing Young to get his work done and lead the Tide to their second consecutive national title in Indianapolis. Ben Kercheval: To be clear I've seen Young make plays that aren't there.
If all other things are equal -- and they generally are between these two titans -- give me the better quarterback and the coach who's done it a time or two or seven.
