Vegas was upside down on this game and needed UGA to win or cover. Unless any potential rigging came from SEC or network officials, I don't see any reason this would've been officiated to intentionally favor Bama.

To suggest it was "rigged" or they were calling in favor of bama is pretty ignorant IMO, I just think they were woefully awful at their jobs.

Nevermind the big ones we can point to (offsides on the punt block that wasn't, missed face mask on swift, missed punch on fromm, etc)...bama was holding like a MF'er the entire second half. I truly think that in the 3rd quarter when they realized they weren't getting called for any, they basically did it on purpose just to see how far they could push the limit until they got called on it but they never did. They were holding bad and I don't think got called once. Also on their TD pass late in the 4th the bottom receiver for bama started a full second early.

Oh, and I forgot about the Hold where our player was tackled by an offensive lineman on the 3rd and 7 when the QB escaped pressure and got the 1st down. That would have put them at 3 and 17. They later scored their first touchdown of the game on that drive. And I know that holding happens on most every play but this was egregious. He was basically tacked by the neck.
