T.M. Selection: Alabama Crimson Tide - Moneyline
1) I like the Alabama Crimson Tide to win this game against the Georgia Bulldogs on Saturday, September 28th. The line is in the +1 range and for my money the better value is therefore with the money line in the +105 to -105 range as the likelihood the 1 point factor comes into play is quite slim.
2) Revenge game from SEC Championship Game as Georgia lost that one. However, revenge can be over-played and of course Alabama wants this early season big battle just as much. The Bulldogs did not look good against Kentucky two weeks ago. Crimson Tide also coming off a bye week and has looked consistently strong in all 3 games this season and the Bulldogs showed some weaknesses in that Kentucky match-up.
3) For a few years in recent seasons Georgia truly supplanted Alabama as the beasts in the SEC but the Crimson Tide are showing all the signs they are ready to do something about that and having them in a "pick" price range here is a huge value. I will take advantage! Officially Bama is the small dog here at the time of this writing and the dog has covered 9 of last 12 meetings. The pass D of Alabama has been great this season - tops in the land - and the Georgia D line has been dealing with injuries to two starters. Even if they play they may not be 100% here!
T.M. Prediction: 27-21 Alabama.
Line: +100
