Final Say

The under has been trending for both teams where it is 7-3 in Georgia’s last 10 games, and 4-2 in Alabama’s last six games. It has also hit in four-straight bowl games for Georgia. This game is going to feature two of the best defenses in the league, and they both will have familiarity with each others offenses, and they’ve had plenty of time to prep. They’ll also be playing in a dome, which you’d think would benefit the offenses, but these defenses will be running just as fast. Expect a slowed-down game to start as these teams get a feel for what these offenses are going to do, which should be beneficial for the under. Roll with this total to stay under the threshold.
