The College Football Playoff national championship game is an all-SEC affair. Show No. 1 Alabama (13-1) faces No. 3 Georgia (13-1) on Monday at 8 p.m. in a rematch of the SEC Championship Game and the 2018 national championship game. Despite Alabama's 41-24 win in the SEC title game, Georgia is a three-point favorite at SI Sportsbook. The game features an over/under of 51.5. The Bulldogs are 9-5 against the spread (ATS), while the Crimson Tide are 8-6. The over hit in just six Georgia games, compared to seven Alabama contests. Bet Alabama-Georgia at SI Sportsbook Brynn Anderson/AP Alabama will be looking to continue its domination of Georgia, having won seven straight against the Bulldogs. Nick Saban is 4-0 against Georgia head coach Kirby Smart, including a 26-23 overtime triumph in the 2018 National Championship Game. The Crimson Tide are also quite profitable as an underdog under Nick Saban, and especially when facing one of his former assistants. Both teams have strong offenses with Alabama scoring 41.4 points per game and Georgia tallying 38.8. Georgia's defense, however, leads the country by a wide margin by yielding only 9.64 points per game, compared to Alabama's 19.21. We asked our experts what bets they would make for this intriguing battle. SI Betting's Matt Ehalt:
