Georgia vs. Alabama Head-to-Head

The two powerhouses are facing off for the 73rd time. Alabama has historically been the better team in this matchup, as they hold a 42-26-4 all-time record. This matchup has been significant lately, with five of the previous seven games being either the SEC Championship game or the National Championship game.

Their last face-off was at the 2021 National Championship Game, where the Bulldogs won their first national title with a 33-18 victory over the Alabama Crimson Tide.

What are the chances of Georgia beating Alabama?

Georgia is considered more than a field-goal favorite for this one. Alabama's season has been a tale of two halves as they had a lot of concerns after losing to the Texas Longhorns, and benching quarterback Jalen Milroe as a result.

Since then, the Crimson Tide have looked like a totally different team, but the Bulldogs will be their toughest test yet. Bulldogs quarterback Carson Beck has looked great, even with the injuries to tight end Brock Bowers and wide receiver Ladd McConkey.
