Georgia vs. Alabama betting preview

These are the top two scoring offenses in the SEC, with Georgia averaging 51.4 points and Bama at 49.6 per game. Neither defense allows many points, with UGA second in the conference at 13.4 and the Tide allowing just under 21 per game. Stockton and Russell have both been playing at a high level, and the one who leads his team to victory Saturday could emerge as a real Heisman contender. Russell is currently the +800 third favorite at DraftKings, and Stockton is the +2900 sixth choice.

Alabama's closest game was a 50-36 victory at Florida State, which beat the Tide last year, while Georgia's closest call was a 38-14 home victory against Vanderbilt last week. That was UGA's lowest point total of the season, while Alabama has scored at least 45 points in every contest. Russell has 1,414 passing yards (second in SEC), and the sophomore has accounted for 15 touchdowns while throwing just two interceptions. The senior Stockton has 1,047 passing yards and 13 touchdowns to just one interception. The Alabama quarterback has been sacked 11 times, while Stockton has only gone down five times. The Tide have the stronger pass rush, sitting second in the SEC with 16 sacks, while Georgia is tied for ninth with 13.

Russell has also rushed 184 yards to complement three running backs who have topped 200, led by Daniel Hill with 247. Trae'shawn Brown leads the team with five rushing TDs, and EJ Crowell averages 7.8 yards per carry. The Bulldogs, meanwhile, allow an SEC-low 57.4 rushing yards per game. Bama yields 78.6 (third), and they will be tasked with stopping Nate Frazier (211 yards, five TDs) and Dwight Phillips Jr. (160 yards, one TD), as both running backs average 8 yards per carry. They are among five Georgia rushers who have more than 100 yards, including Stockton (122).

Alabama's Ryan Coleman-Williams will be one of the biggest playmakers on the field, and the sometimes-maligned receiver has 376 yards and four touchdowns, averaging 18.8 yards per reception. Teammate Lotzeir Brooks averages almost 17, posting 352 yards for the season. Stockton gets the ball out quickly and spreads the ball around, with Craig Dandridge (17.9 per catch) and Talyn Taylor (three TDs) leading five pass-catchers with at least 100 yards. That includes running back Chauncey Bowens (132, 6 total TDs) and tight end Lawson Luckie (111, one TD).

The points these teams have put up through five games have overshadowed the work of the defenses, and those units will decide this one. There is real firepower on both sides, so whichever team stands up to these potent offenses (or takes the ball away) will have the inside track. The Tide have taken the ball away 15 times, returning four interceptions for touchdowns, while Georgia has 10 takeways, taking an interception and a fumble recovery back for scores.

Devan Thompkins (three sacks) and Terrance Green (2.5) and linebackers Caleb Woodson (2 sacks) and Luke Metz (team-high 38 tackles) help form a strong core for the Bama defense. The Bulldogs are also strong in the middle, with linebackers Raylen Wilson (team-high 27 tackles, 3 sacks) and Chris Cole (1.5 sacks, 2 fumble recoveries) among the playmakers.
