Georgia vs. Alabama marks one of the most anticipated regular season showdowns on the 2024 college football slate. What are the Expert picks, predictions, and best bets for Georgia vs. Alabama?\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Kirby Smart leads the undefeated Georgia Bulldogs into Bryant-Denny Stadium, a place that has eluded them since 2007. The weight of history and expectation hangs in the Alabama air. Georgia enters confidently, fresh off a gritty, hard-fought one-point win over Kentucky in their SEC opener. But they know, in Tuscaloosa, confidence alone isn\u2019t enough.<\/p>\n

On the opposite sideline, a new era dawns in crimson. In his first season at the helm, Kalen DeBoer has Alabama off to a blistering 3-0 start. DeBoer has maintained dominance by handing the keys to the Tide after the legendary Nick Saban\u2019s retirement, outscoring opponents 147-26. The question now: Can Alabama\u2019s new leader keep that momentum against the reigning champs?<\/p>\n

    Georgia vs. Alabama Featured Players<\/h3>\n

    Expect the lights to shine brightest in Tuscaloosa this Saturday when Georgia and Alabama, two college football giants, face off in a highly anticipated showdown. At the heart of this battle are two of the most poised quarterbacks in the country, both leading their teams with precision and purpose.<\/p>\n

    Carson Beck has emerged as a steady hand for Georgia, throwing for 680 yards and seven touchdowns without a single interception this season. His calm demeanor in the pocket belies the weight of his responsibility as he leads a Bulldog team hungry to reverse recent history. On the other side, Alabama\u2019s Jalen Milroe has proven just as electric, tallying 394 passing yards, five touchdowns, and no interceptions. But it’s Milroe’s legs that add another layer of danger. Leading the Tide with 81 rushing yards and four touchdowns on the ground, he has the potential to break the game wide-open with one swift move.<\/p>\n

    As far as upside goes, Jalen Milroe might have more than any QB I\u2019ve seen in the 2025 draft class.<\/p>\n

    Great athlete, nice arm, serious flashes of accuracy. Why he\u2019s barely in QB1 conversations in a weak QB class is beyond me. pic.twitter.com\/hl21fPB3G5<\/a><\/p>\n
