Because the anti-UGA deep state infiltrated Vegas to make Georgia favored to provide rat poison

Because the one game Alabama played as well as they did was against Georgia. Sounds like they're banking on the inconsistent Alabama showing up, which is the safer bet based on the sample of the 2021 season.

Alabama beat the shite out of a G5 school whose only quality win was vs. ND, who never beat a ranked opponent this season.

Georgia beat the shite out of a P5 conference champ with 2 wins over CFP Top 15 teams.

With that said, I would have made Alabama the favorite if I was working in Vegas.

Alabama is inconsistent this year. There's no way Alabama's offensive line can play as well as they did in the SECCG. Alabama simply cannot beat UGA as second time.

Uga had a much more impressive season and is the better team.

Give credit to Bama for beating them once but I don’t think uga will backing down this go round

This has nothing to do with who's better and everything to do with Vegas making money off of betting. Lines move up and down based off of which team people are betting on. If you think the line is skewed, put everything on Bama.

UGA has the best defense ever and Bama won't be able to score on them.

bama opened as a 1 point favorite. The sharps jumped all over UGA. That is what moved the line.

Bama played its best game of the year in the SECCG, despite being consistently inconsistent throughout the season.

Simultaneously, the Dawgs played their worst in the SECCG despite their regular season dominance.

Neither performance in the SECCG were representative of either teams' skill level.

Because more money will be wagered on Georgia scoring more points in the game.
If more money gets wagered on Alabama, the line will drop.
This is the way it works.

Georgia ranked #1 most of season and not easy to beat same team twice. Motivation on their side. Methinks point spread will drop some closer to EVEN by game time.

They want people to place bets? Who wouldn't bet on Alabama to at least cover?
