UGA hasn't needed to go no huddle yet. Fromm is fully capable of going up tempo, it's one of the reasons he stayed the starter this year.
I feel fat Chaney is withholding some of his favorite passing plays and formations until they reach Bama and beyond.

What was the spread for the Clemson game last year?
Posted on 11/9/17 at 12:41 am to Bench McElroy
That's a fricking retarded line right there. I can't see how anyone would give a line better than Georgia +3.

Georgia will have to throw the ball to beat bama though, that's a guarantee. Saban knows kirby very well, and that doesnt bode well for uga by itself. Saban and his teams always kick it up a few notches when it comes to money time. Georgia will find out about this.

Ahh, how we are on a collision course with the comparison of the 2008 SECCG with Alabama taking the role of Florida, and UGA taking the role of Alabama.
And the point spread in that game you ask?
Florida - 10.
They covered on a TD in the last couple of minutes of the game.

I take the 11.5 and go to the bank.
Bama 23
UGA 19

Yep. There's going to be money all over that line for uga.

I think if they played right now georgia could possibly even win the game outright. It's insane to give georgia over 7 points. Good Lord, have they watched georgia and alabama play football this season? They look very similar. I would have to give the nod to saban and bama in the sec title game due to experience alone. It will be a 60/40 crowd in favor of georgia in ATL, not enough to make a difference really on that front. Bama is used to being in title games while uga isnt...that is the biggest takeaway from the two teams. I just have to give an edge to saban as a coach vs smart as well. Not anything over 7 points though, that's nuts.

UGA is for real. They very well could best Bama. I hope they beat Auburn with a last second score of any kind!

This Bama defense isn't the elite, super dominant defense of the past. Still good but UGA can run on them.
When you have 4 linebackers injured, and mostly run nickel, that happens.

That sounds like a lot but Georgia is like one of those teams, the way they are built, that Bama would roll.
Theyre going to beat bama in Atl

Congrats on your mid season championship, almost as prestigious as the vaunted off season championship.
You Bammers seem scared.

BAMA would be a 11.5 point favorite over anyone ??
They were 24 over LSU....how did that work out ?

With Alabama's injuries, I think we can run on them. Not for 300 yards or anything, but enough to be effective.

About three to four weeks ago, I believe Sheridan said the spread would be 14.5. Last week I heard somewhere it would be 7.5. This article was written before the USCe and LSU games. They had only dropped to 11.5. Would be curious to see what it would be now after last weekend. If both teams finish undefeated, depending on how the AU games go for each, I think you see the line the Monday before the SECCG settle in at about the 5-7 range.

Most Bama folks here are saying that line is trash.

This is also an extremely simplistic view of what UGA does offensively. We've shown no-huddle and a more open passing game in competitive games. There just haven't been many of those.

That is a reflection of what they think the betting public thinks to yield equal betting on both sides, not that they think the score would be that.
Maybe the betting public knows, maybe not.

shite. That LSU VS bama game could have turned out completely different if we had a qb that could read a defense and had a better arm. The plays were there to be made all night, etling just couldn't connect bc of his arm and his reads were poor. Every one saw it, Bama is vulnerable, and LSU had them where we wanted them on numerous occasions. I think georgia will have a terrific shot at beating them after what i saw LSU do to them this past saturday. At the very least georgia should feel impowered after watching LSU do what they did against them at their place.

That sounds about right, but the money would likely move the line to 7.
