At the onset of the College Football Betting season, things looked shaky, but the Alabama Crimson Tide keeps rolling along. Last week, the Tide was dead and buried on a 4th and goal at the Auburn 31-yard line. However, they hit a touchdown pass for the ages to stay alive in the College Football Playoff chase. Now, coach Nick Saban and the Tide face the 2-time defending Georgia Bulldogs. If Alabama loses, they will likely miss the CFP. Hence, there is no time to celebrate. Georgia is undefeated and coming off a hard-fought win at Georgia Tech.
