Georgia shrinks as home favorite in SEC odds, Alabama coach discusses Gunner Stockton
ATHENS â The betting line on the Alabama-Georgia football game has shrunk since last week -- from 3 1/2 to 3 points -- an indicator betting money has shifted, mildly, toward the Crimson Tide.

Anyone that endured the pain of the Falcons’ game today saw that Penix is not a good NFL quarterback. I just hope Georgia can show that Deboer is not an SEC coach. Go Dawgs!
IMO…UGA should be at least a 4 point favorite, probably 5 at home. Bama isn't the team we have seen the last couple of weeks. I believe they are the team we saw week 1 and the world will find that out Saturday night when they play a very good team again.

This is money coming from the Bama folks who play the lottery as a retirement tool!
Let’s see if the betting changes later in the week when the smart money starts pouring in!
Go Dawgs! Hate on Bama!
DeBoer said ..…”[Gunner has] done a nice job just managing the offense….”
Is he calling Gunner a “game manager”? Is that meant to be a slight!?
Where’s the Bulletin Board? 🤣
Go Dawgs! Hate on Bama! Hunker down, guys!
@Bdw3184 I am not sure why people think quarterbacks who manage the game is a bad thing —- in a Pro Style offense, you have to, because so much is on the QB at the line of scrimmage. That's different than many spread QBs, who get the signals from the sideline.. I would not call the Tennessee QB a game manager — because he doesn't have to be in that offense. I think the "game manager" tag is a compliment, not an insult… I am not sure who put it there, or how it ended with that connotation.
Idunno whether that Notre Dame/ARK spread says more about ND or ARK. That loss that the Hogs took this weekend was pretty pitiful.
I agree with this statement 100%!
I was not saying that "game manager" should be a negative ( in fact, I love the fact that our QB manages the game and has the ability to check in and out of plays as the defense dictates) but it is true that the phrase seems to take on that negative quality as it is bandied about by the talking heads….
I was jokingly referring to how that phrase has been sullied in the past years….as if it is a bad thing to be a "game manager"!
Give me someone that knows what he is doing anytime!!!
Go Dawgs!
Look guys, Bama has only played one ranked team and lost badly. Nobody knows how good or bad FSU is yet, but I can tell you this… Wisconsin is flat out awful on both sides of the ball. I watched most of the Maryland game this past week and they were just about as dominant against the Badgers as was the Tide. The Alabama boogey man ends Saturday. Dawgs 31 Bama 17.
I've got a buddy who was in the Wisconsin band… you know… a little over 20 years ago… Because he and I are tight, and the Badgers have little to do with our season ever (I'm not going to look it up, but has there even been a matchup?), I tend to root for them. He and I hadn't gotten to hang out for quite a few years because of his job and relocation, but we finally got to get together over the summer.
He… was not hopeful when the subject came up… The one thing he said about it that stood out to me was that he remembered the team being built on its run game, and, from there, its strength in defending the run. I saw that sort of run defense early on in that game. Over time, though, it just disappeared.
While part of me wonders why that defense might disappear over time, I do think that working in the SOUTH, where it doesn't get cool until around the week before the NTL Championship Game, is a legitimate advantage for SEC teams. Yes, being used to the cold can work out for Northern teams, but (weirdly…) that's not much of a question once January/February roll around…
My hope was that the Badgers would be relevant and play decent ball when they faced the Bummers, solidifying this year's squad as a bunch of mediocre "whoevers." That didn't happen. At the same time, I'm glad that the Tide rolled over that Midwestern school from that (clearly overranked) conference because a) it should give them a false sense of accomplishment and b) (less importantly) it should reiterate the kind of conditioning that is required if a kid is going to be a competitor on a Southern team.
believe we played the badgers in a bowl game in 2003 or 04…
Kasey, for whatever reason this didn't post as a response to your earlier post. I tried to go back and edit it, but that wasn't an option. I'll try it again as a "follow-up."
As I said, I wasn't going to look it up, but thanks for the follow-up. 22 years ago is… past being relevant. Do you have any idea how that game played out?
googling it I saw we won by 3 but I remember us losing the game strangely. That was the same year Auburn went undefeated but didn’t get to play for the natty.
