Jumbo Package: Why Alabama is still an underdog to Georgia

Happy Friday, everyone. Much is being made of Alabama’s underdog status on Monday.

Metchie isn’t the only injury Alabama is dealing with. The Crimson Tide are currently dealing with injuries to starting offensive linemen Emil Ekiyor Jr. and Chris Owens. A key reason for Alabama’s success in December was the performance of the offensive line. They did not allow Bryce Young to be sacked. The status for both players is unclear as we approach gameday, but Georgia’s defense can certainly take advantage of any weak links on the line.

On the Georgia side, it has to be feeling good about its performance against Michigan in the semifinal.
