- Sharp and big money has been pouring on Georgia, but should we back the Bulldogs?
- The Bulldogs have lost seven straight games against the Crimson Tide.
- Here's how the analytics would bet the College Football Playoff National Championship.
On Monday night, the Georgia Bulldogs will try to snap a seven-game losing streak against the Alabama Crimson Tide.
The Tide have been the stuff of every Georgia fan’s nightmares for the last 14 years. Nick Saban has broken Bulldogs fans’ hearts in every way possible, from a 28-point beatdown in Athens to a crushing overtime defeat in their last National Championship appearance. To Bulldog fans, Saban is truly the boogeyman.
Despite the losing streak and a previous loss to Alabama in the National Championship, Georgia is currently favored by three points.
According to the Action Network’s PRO signals, the Bulldogs also have sharp and big money pouring in. Also, according to our PRO projections, Georgia should be a 3.2-point favorite. So, we should all back the Bulldogs, right?
Wrong.
Saban has a unique ability to turn opponents’ strengths into weaknesses, especially when playing his former assistants.
