College football Goliaths meet during the Week 5 college football schedule when No. 4 Alabama (3-0) hosts No. 2 Georgia (3-0). Both teams are undefeated, though Georgia got a huge scare in Week 3 before surviving at Kentucky in a 13-12 final. The Bulldogs didn’t cover in that game and they’re just 1-2 against the spread this season. Alabama is 2-1 ATS and had no problem handling the 15.5-point spread at Wisconsin two weeks ago in a 42-10 victory. Alabama has dominated the recent series overall, winning eight of nine against Georgia. However the one win was a huge one for the Bulldogs as they beat the Tide 33-18 in the 2022 national title game.

Why Alabama can cover
It’s the first taste of this rivalry for head coach Kalen DeBoer, who is replacing the legendary Nick Saban. DeBoer was known for his high-flying offenses at Washington, Fresno State and elsewhere, and the Tide look formidable with him at the helm so far, scoring at least 42 points in all three games.
Both teams are loaded with talent, but Alabama freshman receiver Ryan Williams could be an X-factor. He’s one of college football’s top breakout players this year with 10 catches for 285 yards and four touchdowns. Georgia will have to respect him as a deep threat, leaving space in the box for quarterback Jalen Milroe and running backs Jam Miller and Justice Haynes to operate. See which team to pick here.
Why Georgia can cover
Bettors might be cautious about backing Georgia after it struggled at Kentucky, but the Bulldogs also have one of the most impressive wins of the season on their resume, blasting Clemson 34-3 in Week 1 and covering with 20 points to spare. Quarterback Carson Beck is a potential top overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, and he’s off to a fast start, completing 56 of 82 passes for 680 yards, seven touchdowns and no interceptions.
On the other side of the ball, Georgia is loaded with high-end talent, most notably defensive end Mykel Williams and safety Malaki Starks. Georgia ranks third nationally in scoring defense, giving up just 6.0 points per game through three games. See which team to pick here.
