    Espn: 73% of point spread bets & 88% of ML in Vegas are on Alabama
    The betting action during the week leading up to Monday's College Football Playoff National Championship has become increasingly lopsided on Alabama at sportsbooks around Las Vegas, leaving the house rooting for underdog Georgia.



    Vegas is either going to release an economic stimulus package tomorrow or this will be a burial the likes we haven’t seen in quite some time

      If this is the case, why did the line open at -4.5 then move to -3.5??

        Because of big ballers like BigBusiness dropping massive bets down on Georgia

          Rooting for Georgia regardless of the percentages.

          They have offense.... they have defense.... kicking game is good.

          Like a well oiled machine.

              Georgia's QB will have to be great to win. Bama will look to take the rush game completely away. If they can stay out of obvious passing downs they are in good shape. If not, Tide dline will maul that kid. I would like to see Saban lose but that defensive front is fukin great.

                  I haven't won a football bet in the last 2 weeks. The decline is REAL. Y'all would not believe the bad beats I've had? Totally WTF kind of beats. The one game I should have won, my bet didn't confirm. How's that for a kick in the nuts. I'm passing on this game because I've gotten my brain kicked in but I really think Bama is going to blow the Dawgs out, so UGA has to be the play. Hell, if I put a $1 on Bama, they are fukked.

                                  Not at all.

                                  Airbets do not affect lines.

                                    So, who wins the all-SEC national championship game (8 p.m. ET, ESPN and ESPN App)? By an overwhelming margin, our experts are expecting a Crimson coronation.



                                    34 out of 41 on Alabama. 33 like them to cover

                                              You have been losing your arse and making up excuses for your losses all season long. Why should this week be any different? The truth of the matter is that you are just a terrible 'Capper.

                                                      17-13


                                                      Georgia qbs best skill is deep ball. In a tight low scoring game I'd rather have the points. Where it may only take one explosive deep pass to get it done.






                                                      Per PFF College data, Fromm is the best deep ball thrower – defined as passes that travel 20-plus yards downfield – in the country. His passer rating on those attempts (135.4) is higher than even Mayfield’s (134.8), who is widely considered the most deadly bomb tosser in the FBS. Fromm’s completion rate on those attempts (59.1) is fourth nationally with Mayfield ranking first.
