The way I see this game is Alabama is going to kick the Bulldogs asses.
The chances for this game to be close and exciting is mute.
Alabama is healthy again, and even though the QB makes mistakes at times, they have a brutal running game and defense that will keep Georgia out of the end zone.

The matchup with Georgia means Crimson Tide head coach Nick Saban will face his longtime assistant, Kirby Smart. The legendary coach is a perfect 11-0 against his former Alabama assistants with each win coming via double digits.

TLANTA ? It?s one of those statistics that will cause an initial reaction of ?No way,? but when you stop and think, it makes a lot of sense.
During the five national title games the University of Alabama football team has played under Nick Saban, the Crimson Tide have lost just 2 turnovers.
Both were against Texas in the 2009 title game, and both were by special teams, including an interception of a ball thrown by punter P.J. Fitzgerald.
That?s 342 offensive snaps while playing for the national title without having lost a turnover.
The Crimson Tide led all SEC teams in turnover margin this season at plus-13, while the Bulldogs were fourth at plus-5.
Sophomore quarterback Jalen Hurts has had just 1 pass intercepted, against Arkansas on Oct. 14. At the time, he had the second-longest streak of pass attempts without a pick in school history with 206. His current streak is up to 121.
It?s not just a point of emphasis since Saban arrived in Alabama in 2007, but a strong indicator of his success.
Overall, in the 124 games since the start of the 2009 season, Alabama has turned the ball over just 137 times, an average of 1.1 per game. It works out to an interception every 58.5 passing attempts and a fumble every 160.6 carries by the Crimson Tide?s top two running backs.
This season, Damien Harris and Bo Scarbrough have yet to lose a fumble, and neither lost one in 2016, either.:00hour
Prior to the botched handoff against Clemson on the first play of the second half, of Alabama?s 6 lost fumbles this season, 2 were on special teams (Henry Ruggs III and Xavian Marks). The others were by senior wide receiver Robert Foster at Texas A&M, junior running back Ronnie Clark vs. Mercer, Ruggs against Mercer and Hurts at Auburn.
?He is on us every day about ball security,? Harris said about his position coach Burton Burns. ?That?s the No. 1 thing that you take pride in as a running back is having good ball security and taking care of the football.
?One thing they always tell us is, when you get the ball in your hands, you have the whole team in your hands. So you want to protect it at all cost.?
Incidentally, Hurts had 11 fumbles, with 5 lost, as a freshman last season, and 9 interceptions ? all but 1 of which was against an SEC opponent. Yet he didn?t have any during the SEC Championship Game or the College Football Playoff.

Georgia coach Kirby Smart made a comment that will inevitably turn into bulletin board material for Alabama in advance of Monday's national championship game.
"Alabama is not as unbeatable as they've been," he said.

Hey Kirby
Not too smart to say this two days before liftoff.
