Georgia vs. Alabama Prediction

I’m on the under in this one. I know a lot of the focus is on Alabama and the high-octane offense that Nate Oats normally deploys, but my concern for this game and the total is on the other side with Georgia. The Bulldogs just don’t score nearly enough to make it competitive in a lot of their road games and when the Bulldogs have had to step it up on the road, they’ve come out flat, logging totals like 59 against Florida and 56 against Tennessee. Alabama’s defense doesn’t get nearly enough credit, but even if the offense has a big day, I don’t envision this game getting up and over 160. Give me the under in this matchup.
