Is there a MASSIVE Advantage in Bama vs UGA? 👀 · SEC Football Addiction

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: We do have somewhat of a big game happening in Tuscaloosa, Alabama,
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: presented by PrizePix. Georgia against Alabama. Talked about this game
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: a little bit from a couple of different angles. And
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: the thing that I think is so intriguing, Cole, as
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: you get us started, is I think I believe in
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: Georgia's defense more than I believe in Alabama's defense because
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: of what we've seen from Alabama against Kentucky. I'm sorry,
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: against Florida State, against other opponents. I think I believe
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: in Georgia's defense more, but I don't think Georgia's played
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: a good offense yet. And so I might believe in
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: their defense more, but it's very untested. It's unproven. And
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: I think I have really liked Keelan Russell. I don't
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: know how many great defenses they've gone up against. I
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: think this is it is such a proving grounds for
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: both teams because I don't think either one of them.
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: I know Mississippi State is in there. I don't think
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: either one of them have played a great team yet.
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: And that brings us to a lot of questions, even
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: in the game that we talked about, Cole and I,
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: yesterday on Oklahoma and Georgia. I don't know that Oklahoma's
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: offense provides a great look at how good Georgia really
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: is defensively. So just we'll find out. We'll find out
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: on Saturday, I suppose, is the final answer. But for
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: a better breakdown than just we'll find out, Cole Thompson.
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's Goliath versus Goliath. It's the Mecca versus
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: the Mecca. It is the standard of the SEC, and
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: I've said this before and I'll say it again. Until
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: someone can dethrone one of these two, the world stands
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: still in the southeastern region of the United States whenever
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: Georgia and Alabama meet on a football field and do
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: battle for three hours. It is a must-see spectacle, and
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: it is the game-of-the-year mentality. And I would be surprised
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: if we don't get that once again. You know, I've
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: been very adamant about where Texas is right now. Texas
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: has the most impressive win of the season today. by
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: fighting their way back against Ohio State. But at the
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: same time, I thought going into the year, Georgia was
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: better than Texas. So if Georgia wins this football game
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: against a surging Alabama team, or if Alabama wins this
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: football game against a dominant Georgia team that I still
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: believe in, despite the fact they're not being tested, I
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: think there is no shred of doubt that is the
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: best team in the country and the team to beat
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: in college football moving forward. Alabama's a wagon, Georgia's a wagon,
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: and now it just comes down to what happens when
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: an unstoppable force meets an immovable object and one of
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: them has to somewhat break. What breaks first? Let's talk
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: about Georgia just to begin the game. You want to
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: mention that they haven't played anybody and they haven't been tested,
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: which I think is very warranted. The level of their
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: competition that they've gone up against has not been at
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: the same of many other teams in the SEC, let
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: alone even Alabama. But it's not entirely their fault. Vanderbilt
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: gave them a test in the first half and then
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: they rattled off in the second. You talk about how
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: they played against Oklahoma. We all thought Oklahoma was going
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: to be a college football dark horse this season going
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: into 2026. And then Arkansas is a laughingstock of the
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: SEC so much so that even I think to their
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: standard that they didn't show on up. But it's how
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: they've responded in every single game. Gunner Stockton has been phenomenal.
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: I think Gunner Stockton right now is the least talked
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: about highlight, high-profile quarterback in the country. And he's been
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: in situations like this game before. He has shown up.
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: He has the experience of playing in a place like Tuscaloosa.
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: I mean, playing in an environment like... like Brian Denning Stadium.
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: He's been able to step on up in the fourth quarter,
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: and he was good last season. I think he's great
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: this season. I think he's better than what he's been
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: this season. They have the ability to run the football
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: with not just a Nate Frazier. They got Chauncey Bowens.
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: They got Bo Walker. Every single one of their backs
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: is able to make plays. Their tight end room is
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: still arguably the best in college football, and their defense
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: is better than advertised. They may not have a ton
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: of difference makers in terms of high profile names that
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: you'll see in the NFL draft like in years past
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: with Jordan Davis and Trayvon Walker and Jalen Carter. But
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: they still have talent. That front seven with Griffin and
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: the combination of what you got on the edge is phenomenal.
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: Their linebacking core, Chris Cole, knows how to play the run.
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: They're a top three run defense in the country. They
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: shut down teams and they say, if you're going to
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: beat us, you're going to beat us through the year.
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: And that's if we allow you to because we still
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: got damn good talent like KJ Bolden and Ellis Robinson
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: lurking over the top along with Khalil Barnes that can
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: make plays. So how does Alabama, who hasn't gone up
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: against a defense built like this, able to answer the
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: call when they face off against Georgia? Now on the
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: Alabama side, if I'm going to credit Georgia, I got
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: to credit Alabama. Alabama's a top 10 run defense in
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: the country. That's been their bread and butter. They've been
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: phenomenal in the trenches with what they got with Devin
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: Tompkins leading the charge. what they got coming off at
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: the end. Yanzi Pierre has been one of the better
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: pass rushers in the SEC, and he constantly is making plays.
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: So while we can say that Alabama will not have
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: gone up against a defensive line or a defensive front
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: seven built like Georgia, Georgia hasn't gone up against an
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: Alabama front seven that is ahead of schedule underneath Kane
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: Womack in his third season. I mean, that's just the
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: bottom line. And then the offense itself, who was to
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: say that this offense was going to be up to
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: par to this level this early in the season? I
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: think that we're all shocked in a little bit of
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: a way. We all complained last season about the inability
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: to run the football. We saw in the matchup in Athens,
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: a place that nobody loses. I mean, nobody beats Georgia.
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: The rushing attack not be efficient enough, and they still
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: found a way to win. And then we saw in Atlanta, well,
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: now we can't have negative yards, and you faced with
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: negative three rushing yards, and your quarterback play was underwhelming
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: because of a bad offensive line. So we got to
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: fix some things. The run game is better than advertised.
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: What you get with DJ Crowell, what you get.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: With Treshawn Brown.
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: What'd you get with the revamped Daniel Hill? That offensive
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: line has been playing better than advertised. And they're getting
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: back their starting right tackle for this game, or it's expected,
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: there's optimism, that after missing last week against Mississippi State,
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: he's going to be good to go in this matchup.
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: So you're starting the consistent five that you need to
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: work with. Keelan Russell. You know, you talk about Gunnar
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: Stockton being probably a great quarterback, one that's undervalued because
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: we don't mention him enough in the prime spotlight. Guys,
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: Keelan Russell might be better than him. And that's a
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: horrifying thought that we have a young kid making his
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: fifth college, I mean, his sixth start. And he may
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: be better than a guy that's been doing this for
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: the last two years in an offense that's very team friendly.
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: And the wide receiver room is better than advertised, I think,
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: to certain levels of where you look at them and
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: ask yourself, well, what happens if you can't go to
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: Ryan Coleman Williams? Because that was a big question I
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: think many people had going into the season. Okay, well,
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: Rico Scott's been making plays, and Lottie Brooks has been
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: making plays, and you have a healthy Noah Rogers. And
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: let me also mention, the tight end room of Alabama
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: is pretty freaking good. Like, it's maybe not Georgia level,
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: but I could argue that there have been times you
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: look at a guy like Pritchett, he's been as consistent
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: as a guy like Lawson Lucky. So what can you
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: do in this game to be able to kind of
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: separate yourself from Alabama? Are you able to run the
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: football with ease to take a little bit of pressure
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: off of Keelan Russell early? And also, on the flip
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: side of the token, who's going to be that weapon
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: that you can trust on third down to be able
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: to move the sticks? Who is going to be that
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: guy that you can look at against Ellis Robinson or
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: against Khalil Barnes and say, I will be able to
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: target him? Maybe it's Pritchett. Maybe the tight end play
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: is so important in this game to be able to
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: game plan around because if you're just dinking and dunking
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: your way to success and winning with time of possession.
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: On the flip side for Georgia... Alabama has not been
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: able to stop the number one wide receiver for a team.
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: That's the bottom line. They just have not been able
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: to do it this year. Deuce Robinson went off. You
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: look at Anthony Evans last week.
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: He went off.
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: Look at the South Carolina game. Dijon Lee fell down
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: and Nick Carver was into the end zone for an
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: easy six. Who is that number one wide receiver? Is
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: it Talon Taylor? Is it Lost and Lucky? Is it
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: one of your other talents? Is it Williams potentially in
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: this game? Who is the guy that is going to
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: put pressure on Kane Womack that is going to allow
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: big explosive plays when you need to step on up?
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: But this game is going to be won and lost
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: in the trenches as it is every single year. Which
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: offensive line can hold a block long enough for their
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: run game to get going? Is it going to be
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: Georgia's or is it going to be Alabama's? And then
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: the big stat line that I don't think enough people
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: are talking about, but I will be the one to
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: continue to preach it. Quarterback rushing totals. Which quarterback finishes
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: with more rushing yards in this game? I think will
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: determine who walks away a champion because there's going to
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: be a bunch of plays that you will see broken
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: on up and you got to not panic. Step on
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: up to the pocket. Don't get the first down slide.
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: Gunnar Stockton can do it. Keelan Russell can do it.
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: Playing off-script actually, I think, benefits a guy like Keelan
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: Russell a little bit more than Gunnar Stockton. But Stockton's
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: been able to step on up into the pocket, not
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: be afraid to take a hit. More specifically, not be
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: afraid to throw his body on the line to get
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: that first down and keep momentum in favor of the Bulldogs.
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: So which offensive line is going to be able to
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: hold enough for their quarterbacks to be able to go
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: tuck and run and trust their legs to be able
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: to win? Having possessions really big in this game, I
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: think that one or two big turnovers could be a
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: deciding factor. Special teams and settling for field goals may
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: not be enough for you in this matchup. And I wonder,
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: who do you trust more if this is to be
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: a more high explosive game? Alabama or Georgia? Because Alabama
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: may have the weapons, but Georgia has the experience of
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: being in the situation in the past. At least with
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: this version of the Georgia Bulldogs.
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: I'll get right back to this clip of the Power
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: 2 here on College Football Addiction. But first, I want
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: to give some love to our friends over at PrizePix.
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: This weekend, game of the year. Alabama-Georgia vibes are high.
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: in Tuscaloosa and in Athens. The game will happen in Tuscaloosa, Alabama.
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: And we are taking Keelan Russell's passing touchdowns more than 1.5.
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: We're also taking Gunnar Stockton's passing total more than 209.5.
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: I feel really good about those. You can go check
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: out the full episode of The Power 2 to get

• 9:43
  Speaker 1: the clip. Not much else to add for that.
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: They'll play football this weekend. I have to round it out.
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: No, honestly, this is a tough one.
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: This is genuinely a coin flip. I think there's a
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: lot of Alabama fans that are feeling a lot more
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: confident and Alabama feels like Alabama again. That's kind of
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: the feeling I got coming out of the Mississippi State game.
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: And Georgia, yes, yet to be proven. I trust the
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: offensive consistency of Georgia a little bit more than I
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: trust Alabama's. I think I trust what Gunnar Stockton is
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: able to do to the tune of nearly 80% completion
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: percentage just last week, 75% on the year. They have
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: threats at every position that they're going to be able
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: to hurt you with in multiple ways. Good offensive line,
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: solid defense. I don't know if this is going to
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: be a knuckle-dragging defensive slugfest. I think there will be
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: some scoring because you have outstanding athletes on either side
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: of the ball. Keelan Russell, I know everybody's in love
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: with him, and it's funny. Every single week we are like,
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: this guy's going to win the Heisman, and then they
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: play a game and it's like, they're out. They're never
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: going to get back in the race, that sort of thing.
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: Is this a bit of a dip for Keelan Russell?
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: Because we've seen those games earlier on in the season
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: where he was finding his footing, but he was outstanding
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: against Mississippi State and a bad secondary. He's going to
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: face better competition against Georgia. I think I like Georgia
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: in this one, 24-22. This is going to be an
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: interesting game, and I think I trust what Georgia has
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: on the offensive line. Side of the ball, a little
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: bit more than I trust Alabama.
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: What I am intrigued here to see is Keelan Russell's
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: been incredible. What's the best defense he's seen so far?
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: FSU for three drives?
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: I honestly would say Mississippi State because he was sacked
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: four times. So you have to give credit to that
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: being a big factor.
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: In the game. And where would you rank this is
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: no shot at Russell or Mississippi State? Is Mississippi State
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: in your top half of SEC defenses?
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: No. Probably right on that eight or nine line. Like
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: you're saying fringe top half more so probably, but they're
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: middle of the pack for sure.
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: And Georgia is comfortably in everyone's top three.
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: Georgia's number two, if not number one.
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah. So like that, I am intrigued to see that
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: is like, and not that it can't be done, but
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: can this guy go out and do something ridiculous against
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: a defense like this. What about running the ball? Bama's
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: been better this year, there's no doubt. But again, who's
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: got the best front that they've played? We'd probably go
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: back to Mississippi State, right?
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: South Carolina, maybe, if you want to go that way.
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: So that's a big question for me. Can they run
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: as effectively as they have? Georgia's offense, I think against,
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: we talked about this, I think I don't remember. It
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: might have been you yesterday, Cole. Talked about the Georgia
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: offense scored 14 points unassisted on that Oklahoma defense in
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: the first half. One pick six and then one 11-yard drive.
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: And one of those touchdowns was only a 54-yard drive.
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: I'm not going to completely take that away from Georgia's
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: offense because you still had to cross midfield, but that
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: is a shorter field. When you're starting four yards away
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: from the midfield line, Georgia's offense was not blowing Oklahoma's
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: defense out of the water by any means and got
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: a lot of help from Oklahoma's offense to put more
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: points on the board. That's not a Georgia criticism. But again,
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: it goes back to my original point of like, where
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: have these teams been tested? And there have been tests.
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: I don't want to act like 5-0 for both these
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: teams is not 5-0 because it is. An undefeated record
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: is an undefeated record. They are the standard bearers in
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: this conference and have been for a long time. I
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: am interested to see how both teams respond to the
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: first time they really get punched in the mouth. I
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: guess Bama did get punched a little bit by Florida State.
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: I think we all were kind of waiting on that
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: other shoe to drop. Same thing with Kentucky. Did anyone
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: really think at the halftime of the Kentucky game with
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: the way that it had gone down, like, oh yeah,
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: Bama's in. Like, Kentucky's going to win this game. Like,
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: I think we all kind of were waiting on that
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: other shoe to drop. The other shoe's not going to
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: drop in this game. Somebody's got to go take it
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: off somebody's foot. I've never heard that before in my
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: life and don't know how that just came out of
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: my mouth, but it did. Yeah, you're going to have
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: to go take this. This is not one where it's like, ah,
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: Kentucky's going to run out of answers. Ah, Florida State's
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: going to run out of answers. Ah, Mississippi State loses
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: to Bothwell, and they're going to eventually crater against a
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: team like this. This is one that is, I mean,
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: it's certainly the game of the week and there are
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: other fun things happening too that we'll get to. But man,
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: the statement that one of these teams is going to
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: make on Saturday is so much fun to anticipate and
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: it's going to be so much more fun to watch.
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: Certainly it's not a meltdown spot for either team. We've
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: seen enough from these two teams to know that they're
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: really good and probably going to be in it until
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: the end. But the advantage that one of these two
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: teams is going to gain the win by here's a
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: question for you outside of, let's say Miami and Notre
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: Dame may. No, I don't think you can with Ohio
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: state yet. One of these teams, I think writes their
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: names into the playoff on Saturday night, like looking, looking
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: at there's now could disaster scenarios happen.
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: But one of these teams moves to undefeated through half
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: the season with a top 10 win and a schedule
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: that I don't think either one of them is just
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: murderers row down the stretch. Like, How many times outside
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: of this game are Bama or Georgia going to be
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: not the favorite in the regular season? Georgia will be
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: the favorite every game. Bama goes to LSU?
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but even still, Alabama owns it in Baton Rouge.
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: So that's one where it's like, sorry, I'm not going
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: to bet.
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, like, you might be looking.
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: Saturday in October, you give credit to because it's Neyland.
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: But they're still going to be favored.
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: They're still going to be favored.
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: But crazy things happen in that game.
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: But by Vegas odds, there might be one time that
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: one of these two teams is not a favorite. And
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: the only time I could see Vegas making someone else
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: a favorite is the LSU game.
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: Or at least Bama.
• 15:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: And it's not happening for Georgia. I think one of
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: these two teams is writing their name into the playoff
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: by winning this game on Saturday. Which is... It's not
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: the end of the world if somebody loses, but it's
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: a massive win if you can find a way to
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: get it done.
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that's the big takeaway is that you
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: now control your path throughout the SEC and become the
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: team to beat in college football with a win. And honestly,
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: for Kalen DeBoer, it's another step of just showing that while, yeah,
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: you don't wake up for the game against Mike Norvell
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: or against Brett Venables, when it's against elite coaches, you
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: are one of the best in the industry. You're 2-0
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: in the regular season against Kirby Smart. You're 3-0 all-time
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: against Dan Lanning. You were able to handle this against
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: Lincoln Riley. You shut down Steve Sarkisian. At some point,
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: you just got to say, I am one of the
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: best in the game. And even with Nick Saban gone,
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: the pathway of winning between these two sides comes between
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: Alabama and Georgia, and Alabama comes out on top. Keep
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: in mind, guys, Georgia has not won this game in
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: the regular season. And granted, it's being played more now
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: than ever in the past. But Georgia has not won
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: this game in the regular season since 2007. And that
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: was a back-and-forth battle. So, I mean, all I'm going
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: to tell you is history says to pick Alabama. The matchup,
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: I think, somewhat leans Alabama. It's in Tuscaloosa. It leans Alabama.
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: I'm not one to go against history. I think even
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: though the offensive line may be a question mark still
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: going up against a legit powerhouse known of Georgia's defensive front,
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: I'm a Don Keelan Russell and I'm a Don Keelan
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: DeBoer because history says they're going to find a way
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: to win this game. I take Alabama 27-24.
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: I've made the mistake of betting against Kirby Smart too
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: many times. So I'm going the other way. I have no... Gosh,
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: I really have no clue. This is the best game
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: of the weekend. This is maybe the game of the year.
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I'll go Georgia. I think I have
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: a little more confidence in their defense. That's probably what
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: I ended up leaning on and that's why I'm going
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: to go with them. I just... I hate making picks
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: on games like this because I just know I'm going
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: to be wrong. But we're rolling with it. Go Dawgs.
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: Georgia wins, what did you say, 27-24?
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: 27-24.
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: Dang it, I like that score. A little more offense, 31-28.
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: I said earlier, but I'll say 24-22 Georgia. They cover,
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: and I'm trying to think, and the under.
