Alabama vs. Georgia: Odds, betting trends, College Football Playoff National Championship Game pick
By John Buhler
The Alabama Crimson Tide will face the Georgia Bulldogs in the College Football Playoff National Championship Game.
A pair of SEC titans will clash once again this season, as the No. 1 Alabama Crimson Tide will face the No. 3 Georgia Bulldogs in the College Football Playoff National Championship Game.
The Crimson Tide handed the Dawgs their first, and only, loss of the season in the SEC Championship Game back in early December in Atlanta. Georgia had been the most dominant team in college football up to that point. While the SEC Championship Game may prove to be the outlier, the Nick Saban continues to have the upper hand over Kirby Smart in this rivalry series.
Here are the latest betting odds and trends heading into the title bout, as well as an early pick.

The oddsmakers are expecting the Dawgs to avenge their lone loss of the year by winning a tight, low-scoring game over the Crimson Tide.
There are a number of betting trends to know ahead of the latest installment of this rivalry game between SEC foes, but these are the most important.
Alabama has won the last seven meetings vs. Georgia dating back to 2008.
The over has hit in nine of the last 10 meetings between the Bulldogs and the Crimson Tide.
In the last six games Alabama has been an underdog, they are 5-1 straight up and have covered all six times.
At this juncture, you would be foolish to not take Alabama getting points. There is no such thing as free money, but this is about as close as it gets.
However, Georgia only has to win this game by one point to be crowned national champions. Expect for an infinitely closer game in the rematch of the two best teams in college football. Georgia will finally have its day in the sun over Alabama.
Pick: Georgia 28, Alabama 27.
