Georgia vs Alabama: Injury report, live Stream, TV channel and betting preview for CFP National Championship

Gameday has finally arrived for Georiga and Alabama in the CFP National Championship and here’s all the key info you will need including injury report, how to stream, a breakdown of the odds, and more. 

The CFP National Championship will be decided Monday night in Indianapolis between the Georgia Bulldogs and Alabama.

The Crimson Tide is the top-ranked team and the SEC champions following their win over Georgia last month, but Alabama is actually the underdog in this matchup, at least from a betting perspective.

The Dawgs dominated Michigan in their last outing and come in with a 13-1 record just the same as Alabama. Nick Saban’s team is looking for its second consecutive CFP National Championship which would make the Tide the first team of the playoff era to repeat.

Ever since these two teams met in Atlanta for the SEC title, you figured there would be a rematch and we are less than 12 hours away from kickoff.  Here’s a look at the odds, how to watch and stream, as well as a final prediction for the CFP National Championship.

Georgia vs Alabama injury report in CFP National Championship

Both teams will be missing key players on Monday night but injuries could impact Alabama much more. The Bulldogs, according to Kirby Smart, are “As healthy as they have been in a long time.”

Georgia will have the same guys available that played against Michigan and have zero health issues to worry about. Alabama, on the other hand, isn’t in that same boat. Wide receiver John Metchie III is out of this game after getting hurt against the Dawgs and Bama could be without starting corner Jalyn Armour-Davis.

Armour-Davis was hurt in the Cotton Bowl and so the Tide could be without two starting cornerbacks. But also, it’s Alabama so the backups are all four and five-star recruits.

Georgia vs Alabama odds and betting pick for CFP National Championship

We broke down Georgia vs Alabama with five predictions for the national title game, and going into Monday, the odds are holding steady with Georgia listed as a 2.5-point favorite according to the odds from WynnBet.

The over/under for Georgia and Alabama is 52.5 and the money line is +115 for Alabama and -140 for the Bulldogs.

It’s interesting that Georiga is the favorite despite losing the previous matchup. However, the Bulldogs played as well as they have all season and probably as well as any college football team this season in the win over Michigan.

Add that to the fact that Bama is a little banged up, as well as the fact that national championship rematches tend to go the way of the losing team, you can see why the trend is in Georgia’s favor.

After all, Bama crushed LSU after losing in the regular season in 2011 and Florida routed Florida State in the Sugar Bowl for the natty after 1996.

We’ll see if that happens again but with the way Georgia’s defense has played all year, it will be better than it was in the SEC title game, a game UGA led 10-0.

The Bulldogs have the talent to beat Alabama. Bryce Young will keep it close but the Dawgs defense will put together a great performance and deliver a national title to Kirby Smart thanks to a 27-24 win.
