Summary
Alabama flipped from a 1.5-point underdog to a 2-point favorite for Saturday’s No. 6 vs. No. 2 showdown with Georgia in Tuscaloosa, a 3.5-point swing from Circa Sports’ opening line.
Sharp bettors cited in the report still prefer Georgia at plus money, arguing the Bulldogs’ experience outweighs Alabama’s home edge and recent 56-point outburst against Mississippi State.
Even an Alabama-friendly professional bettor said he could price the game at pick’em but not with the Crimson Tide favored, calling Georgia “on a different level.”
The column also flagged skepticism around other teams and markets, including doubts about Miami’s résumé, harsh assessments of Michigan’s offense, and sportsbook praise for a well-coached Chicago Bears team.
For his weekly picks, the writer added Georgia +1.5 alongside Iowa +3, Miami Ohio -3.5, Oregon -10.5 and Saints +2.5.
