Sportsbooks expect 'huge' action for College Football Playoff title game between Georgia Bulldogs, Alabama Crimson Tide

Georgia was installed as a small favorite over Alabama in a national championship game that bookmakers believe will be the most-heavily bet ever.

The Bulldogs opened as 2-point favorites over the Crimson Tide at Caesars Sportsbook. The SEC rivals will collide Jan. 10, in Indianapolis in the College Football Playoff National Championship presented by AT&T.

It's a rematch of the SEC Championship Game, in which Alabama beat Georgia 42-24 in early December. The Crimson Tide were 6.5-point underdogs in that game. It was only the second game in which they had been an underdog since 2009; both times came against Georgia.
