🏈 GAME THREAD SEC Championship. Alabama vs Georgia. : How do the two teams compare to each other?

[TerryP]

In case you were wondering, the West is the visiting team on even numbered years and the East in odd number years.

So, Bama will be in white.

Can someone, with better ‘puter skills than I do the comparison thingee and let us know how we stack up to Georgia?

As the week goes on we'll get some in this thread...I'll merge it with the pre-game thread after a few...

Here's one to start. Mercole Hardman is UGA's leading receiver this season. He has 21 more yards than the 5th leading receiver on the Tide squad.

Per the NCAA stats page, believe it's updated. Shaded red = Alabama advantage, Shaded grey = Georgia advantage.

I put a few stats in red boxes that stood out to me.

Interceptions and sacks stand out, aside from Tua...

My glass is always half empty but...UGA has a good QB, two great RB's , a very good TE, 3/4 really good receivers. Can Alabama slowdown the UGA running game? I see it Bama 34 UGA 31.

 

[XXL TideFan]

UGA is good but a pale imitation of Bama. Bama should be favored by 13-14.

Bama opened up at -10.5. After falling to 10 in 10 minutes, then up to 11.5 in another 10 minutes. A lot of early play in Vegas.

Proof positive that the grass always looks greener over someone else's septic tank.

As someone said last year... the white is always right. Or something along those lines.

I believe The King is really going to struggle to stop UGA from having success running the football. I believe #13 better be hot again and Bama will have to score 38 to win. UGA's DB's aren't as good as LSU nor Auburn's so that is in Bama's favor.

 

[EasyTider]

Need a healthy Bugge to help stuff dangerous GA run game. Ray is coming along and good rusher, but seems a bit light to take on power run game.

The line is now 13.5

 

[planomateo]

The line is now 13.5

That jumped quickly from 10.5 to 13...

O/U now at 64.5.

For the season, Alabama is averaging 49 points per game, UGA 40 points per game.

Over the last 5 games, Alabama is averaging 42.6 and UGA is averaging 41.6.

UGA has never repeated as SEC Champ, this will be their 7th trip, their record is 3-3.

(Interesting that Ohio State is only a 13 point favorite over 8-4 Northwestern)

Looks like the total opened at 61.5 and got bet up 3 pts quick.
