Jumbo Package: Alabama prepares for national title game as three point ‘dogs

Happy Monday, everyone, and happy 15th anniversary of the Nick Saban era.

What a ride it’s been.

As you well know, Alabama and Georgia took care of business in the semifinals, setting up the national championship matchup that most everyone assumed would happen in September. Despite Alabama’s 17 point win over the Dawgs in Atlanta, Georgia is actually favored by three points as of this writing, and the sharp money seems to be on the Dawgs’ side.

Perhaps some of that is owing to the loss of WR John Metchie, despite the emergence of Ja’Corey Brooks as a second option, and the uncertain status of OL starters Emil Ekiyor Jr.
