I will say that from what I have seen, unless it is a downpour throughout the game, the Sanford field holds up fine. It looked fine this past Saturday, even though it had been raining all morning and a few days before. As a matter of fact, Sanford field has looked tremendous when compared to what I have seen from the likes of the Florida field. I also could have sworn I saw green paint stains on Ole MIss and Bama players during their game. Does B-D spray paint the grass to look greener?

BD does spray paint the grass. BD has problems getting enough sunlight on the field to promote healthy grass growth.
The National Weather Service is now saying 80% chance of rain all day Saturday in Athens.
If it is a rainy game it will substantially change the game. The team with the best all around defense will have an edge especially at the line of scrimmage stopping the run. Rain will increase turovers. I think Georgia has a substantial advantage in the passing game but rain will lessen that advantage. Chubb is Chubb and he will be fired up to get his yards. If Alabamas oline can give Henry a hole to get started he'll have a great game. If he has to fight thru the line he's going to have a bad day. His weakness is getting off the ball and lateral movement - but if he does get off the ball he's a hell of a fast load to stop. A slight advantage goes to Chubb because of his quickness.
I think the rain will hurt both teams but will slightly benefit Alabama. I still agree with the line Georgia -2 in a low scoring game.
