The Alabama Crimson Tide will take on the Georgia Bulldogs Saturday and the odds in this one bring a streak to an end

This Saturday as part of the Week Five action in college football, we’re going to be treated to one of the most anticipated SEC battles of the entire year. The Alabama Crimson Tide will travel to Athens to take on the Georgia Bulldogs. Well, the opening betting odds were released on Sunday, and there is a pretty notable streak that will be coming to an end.

While it’s pretty narrow at the moment, heading into this SEC showdown on Saturday between the hedges the Georgia Bulldogs are the favorites out in Las Vegas.

For the first time in 72 games, Alabama is not the one being looked at as the eventual victor.


Should you be stunned like this? Well, if you’ve watched any football from either of these teams this season then, no, you should not be. On paper, the Bulldogs are indeed the better team coming into this one. The shock here is that, slowly but surely, it’s like the mystique of this Alabama program is fading away. Yes, not being favored in Las Vegas is a very small part of that, but it’s still notable nonetheless.

Alabama and Georgia will take on one another this Saturday afternoon at 3:30 p.m. ET and the game will be broadcast on CBS nationally.
