Incredible Alabama streak set to end against Georgia

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.
