Georgia-Alabama Betting Line Shifts Before Tuscaloosa Showdown

Betting markets have swung sharply ahead of No. 2 Georgia’s visit to No. 7 Alabama, with Georgia opening as a roughly 2.5- to 3-point favorite before the line moved toward Alabama; some reports listed the Crimson Tide as a 1.5-point favorite, while others still had Alabama getting 1.5 points. The shift comes as both teams enter unbeaten at 5-0, and Alabama seeks to extend its recent success as an underdog against Georgia. The teams split their two meetings last season, with Georgia winning the SEC Championship game after Alabama prevailed in the regular-season matchup. The game is scheduled for Saturday night in Tuscaloosa, with kickoff at 7:30 p.m. ET on ABC.
