ATHENS - UGA Football coach Kirby Smart and the Georgia Bulldogs have opened as slight favorites to win on the road against the Alabama Crimson Tide.

The Georgia Bulldogs are listed as 2.5-point favorites over the Alabama Crimson Tide on Saturday according to FanDuel.

The line means the Bulldogs have about a 55% chance of winning the game. Alabama took the week off after a 42-10 win at Wisconsin. The Dawgs were off this week as well after surviving 13-12 at Commonwealth Stadium. 

Kirby Smart’s Bulldogs are 9-2 straight up a slight favorite, including the Dawgs’ 33-18 win over Alabama in the 2022 College Football Playoff National Championship Game.

The Bulldogs will take on Kalen DeBoer’s program at 7:30 in Tuscaloosa in a game that will be televised by ABC. The game is the start of a tripleheader on ABC that will feature the Dawgs and Tide. ESPN’s College Gameday is set to broadcast from Tuscaloosa. 

Alabama is one of the few teams in college football with a winning record against UGA. The Tide owns a 43-26-4 advantage in the series. The two programs have not met in front of a capacity crowd at Bryant-Denny Stadium since 2007 when Matthew Stafford’s one-and-done throw in overtime beat Alabama 26-23. Georgia also won in the only other game at Alabma this century when Mark Richt’s Dawgs showed they were “Man Enough” to take down the Tide - winning 27-25 thanks to Billy Bennett’s game-winning kick.
