Georgia Bulldogs It seems that every week the SEC gives us a battle of powerhouses. This week's installment showcases the no. 3 ranked Georgia Bulldogs hosting the 8th ranked Alabama Crimson Tide. Odds makers are calling the Bulldogs a 6 1/2 point favorite at home with the total sitting at 44.
Georgia (4-0) began the season at #1 but has dropped to #3 without losing a game. The Bulldogs continue to play very well with last week's convincing 27-10 victory on the road against the then 15th ranked Arizona State Sun Devils.
"I think we made a good statement," said freshman wide-out AJ Green. "We're from the SEC, the South boys. Everyone thinks our conference is so hard, so we came out there and proved a point."
Bulldogs quarterback Matthew Stafford has thrown for over 900 yard and 5 touchdowns,
This week will be the Bulldogs biggest test as a very talented Alabama team comes to town.
The Alabama offense is lead by running back Glen Coffee. The junior runner has compiled more than 400 yards on 47 carries in 2008. His 8.6 yards per carry has him ranked sixth in the country. Coffee set an Alabama team record last week against Arkansas by averaging 16.2 yards per carry.
"We have one of the best offensive lines in the country," Coffee said. "You can't do a better job of blocking than they did."
This should be a great game. Not that Georgia needs any extra incentive, but with USC losing on Thursday they definitely have a chance to move back into the no. 1 spot with a win. Take the Bulldogs and give the 6 1/2.
