Everyone Seems To Be Picking Georgia

[crtuneman]

Listened to Lee Stirling this morning and he picked Ga to win 27-24. Most other pundits are picking Ga. I am starting to feel better about this game because, looking statistically, Bama is the better team. Bama has the #2 run defense in the nation, Ga is at #67. Bama is the #5 pass defense, Ga is at #9. But the biggest thing is ints. Bama has forced 16 ints, which is not great but is better than Ga, which has only forced 10. Offensively, Ga & Bama are equal. Their passing stats and rushing stats are virtually identical. I feel like Bama will be able to run the ball on Ga whereas Ga will not be able to run on Bama. The biggest question is who will be able to pressure the QB and which QB will handle said pressure better. But I think Bama will be motivated and hungry, and will play mistake-free. I'm ready for a huge victory. Roll Tide!

Several of the ESPN guys picked Bama yesterday.  I think there is a 0% chance that we come out flat.  We will bring our A game.  If they beat us they are going to have to earn it, and if they earn it they deserve it.  It should be a fun game to watch.

UGA has the experts confused. It is hard to tell how much they have improved since the first half of the season because they have not played anyone. They look good in the last few games but so did Miss State when they played the weak part of their schedule. Early in the year UGA almost got beat by Missou, Kentucky and Tenn. USCe blew them out.

I agree with SC that Bama will not come out flat. Getting a pass rush on Murray will be the key to this game. If we do that we win easily. If not it will be a close game.

I have been reading things that make me think Murray may come out tight Saturday. I hope he does. He hasn't played well in the big games so far. Hope that trend continues.

Georgia is toast. I expect a very physical game by the Tide, something Richt is not known for.

31-17 Tide

Of course anything can happen, but I have a feeling that Georgia is going to get exposed and it will become obvious that they only made it to the game because of a weak schedule.  The only 2 good teams they played were USC and UF, and they split those games.  They were blown out by USC, and they didn't really beat UF, UF self destructed.

Those teams that give them trouble have a better pass rush than Bama has shown.  I think people, and I am worried also, at the lack of pass rush in games such as LSU and T A&M.

I am worried about putting pressure on Murray. Of course UGA is concerned about their pass protection since it is the weakness of their offense. If we win this battle we win the game.

I am really not sure how bad their pass protection is, the teams USC and LSU, last year, had good pass rushers.

Not my ole friend 'Leonard Post toasties' (in his honor, I wrote this one up in lovin memory)

Leonard's Losers...

Alabama vs Georgia

Nick Saban's crimson clad warriors roll into Atlanta to do battle with the Georgia's junkyard dawgs who will be all dressed fit to kill come Saturday. The hounds are not  favored in this one, so Mark Richt has ordered all chains to be off the leash come game time.The Tide has a pudgy pachyderm by the name of Jesse Williams clogging the middle on defense which might present a puzzle to some Red clay hounds, but my 'smart pill machine' tells me to beware of a lone dawg named Murray, who could just aggravate a Packyderms backside. But I think after the dust settles, those Razor-sharp tusks will have done their damage...

Leonards Loser...Georgia by 17

Aight Percy Peabody...get me outta here. We got more prognosticatin to do boy!

The left side of their O-line has some issues.  Put Hubbard on that side and see what happens.

As a Carolina (USCe) alum x 2 and a watcher of a 35-7(7 late, very late ) whipping, Alabama will beat 'em dawgs by at least three tds.

I don't hate Ga. all that much but the Tide looked unbeatable almost all season. Ga. never really did.

I live 65  miles from Athens  and dawg fans all share my thoughts.

Looking forward to seeing the Crimson Tide stomp the living chit outta Notre Dame.

Good to see you ole friend! I'd have to agree with your prognostication.

Good to hear an unbiased opinion.  I think the same thing, but I never know if I am being realistic or just looking at the game through my crimson colored glasses.

I disagree with the OP that most pundits are picking UGA. I have seen very few picking UGA. Every bowl projection I have seen has us in the BCS CG and UGA in the Capital One.
