An incredible Alabama football streak is set to come to an end when the Crimson Tide face Georgia on Saturday night.
Alabama, the No. 4 team in the nation, will host No. 2 Georgia at Bryant-Denny Stadium in Tuscaloosa on Saturday. As of Thursday afternoon, Georgia was a two-point favorite in the game. Brett McMurphy of Action Network pointed out that it has been a long, long, long time since Alabama was not favored over an opponent in a home game.
The Crimson Tide have been favored in a remarkable 113 consecutive home games. The last time Alabama was a home underdog was against LSU on Nov. 3, 2007, when the Tigers were a 6.5-point favorite over their SEC rival. That also happened to be Nick Saban’s first year as the head coach at Alabama.
