Up until a week ago, the SEC Championship Game could have been billed as one of the games of the season.
Saturday's contest between the Alabama Crimson Tide and Florida Gators could still earn that title, but the hype around the game diminished a bit when the SEC East champion suffered its second loss in Week 15.
Alabama's dominance throughout its SEC schedule and Florida's recent defeat are reflected in the odds for the clash at Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
Nick Saban's Crimson Tide are a 17-point favorite against the seventh-ranked team in the country, and based off what we saw from Florida's defense in the defeat to the LSU Tigers, a margin of victory of that size is possible for the top-ranked squad.
