Betting sites opened with the Bulldogs as a 4-point favorite, but changes have happened.

According to FanDuel, Caesars SportsBook, and Bet Rivers, Georgia is now a 6-point favorite over the Crimson Tide. If the Tide beats Georgia, there is a chance Alabama could jump into the top four of the College Football Playoff. Alabama would have the best win of anyone in the nation if it takes down a back-to-back national champion who has not lost in three years.

The SEC Champion has yet to be left out of the CFP since it started in 2014. Alabama faces Georgia on Saturday in Atlanta.
