No. 1 Georgia vs No. 8 Alabama Odds

• Opening moneyline: Georgia -195/Alabama +155

• Time: 4 p.m. ET Saturday (CBS)

UPDATE 3 P.M. ET THURSDAY: Knowing this matchup was set even before Week 13, BetMGM put Georgia-Alabama on the board Nov. 20 at Bulldogs -3.5 (-115). The line spent most of last week at Georgia -4.5.

On Monday morning, Georgia climbed to -5/-5.5, then on Tuesday got to -5.5 (-115). This morning, the Bulldogs briefly touched -6, and they're now at -5.5.

"It's one-way traffic on the Bulldogs. Lot of money coming in for Georgia," Magee said. "Sharps pushed this from 4.5 to 5.5 this week. Bama winning the game would be good for the book, but I am still wary of our huge liability on the Tide to win it all.

"The dream scenario right now for BetMGM is a Bama cover and loss, to take the Georgia game money and Alabama futures money."

The total opened at 55.5, fell to 54.5 and 53.5 Wednesday, then rebounded by this morning to 54.5 (Over -115).

UPDATE 2 P.M. ET MONDAY: Alabama (11-1 SU/8-4 ATS) dodged disaster by snatching victory from the jaws of defeat at Auburn. In the final minute, 'Bama trailed 24-20 and faced fourth-and-goal from the 31-yard line – yes, the 31-yard line.

But Jalen Milroe connected with Isaiah Bond in the corner of the end zone for a TD. That gave the Crimson Tide a 27-24 victory, though they fell well short of covering as 13.5-point favorites. Still, 'Bama kept its CFP hopes alive heading into the SEC championship game.

Georgia (12-0 SU/5-7 ATS) is not only seeking the SEC title, but a third straight national championship. The Bulldogs didn't exactly look great in Week 13 either, but got the job done. Kirby Smart's troops fended off Georgia Tech 31-23 laying a hefty 24.5 points on the road.

TwinSpires has moved Georgia-Alabama around a bit in the early going for this matchup in Atlanta. The Bulldogs opened -5, went to -5.5, then returned to -5. Alabama is netting 56% of spread tickets/58% of spread money.

"Early money is on the 'dog," Lucas said.

The total is down a point to 55, with 67% of tickets on the Over/59% of money on the Under.

"Sharp play on Under 56," Lucas said.
