It is the much-anticipated SEC conference championship from the Georgia Dome in Atlanta Georgia on Saturday afternoon as the undefeated Florida Gators plays the undefeated Alabama Crimson Tide in a college football game. Kick off time at the Georgia Dome is scheduled for 4PM Eastern Time with national television coverage provided by CBS. The LVSC college football odds makers have set the opening point spread in this game and the Florida Gators opened as a 5 point favorite with the over under coming in at 43. The early money from the college football betting public has come in on the favorite, as the Florida Gators are currently a 5-½ point favorite. The college football betting public has put their early money on the under, as the total is currently lined at 41 for the college football bettors to play into.
In their meeting in the SEC Championship last season it was the Florida Gators defeating the then undefeated Alabama Crimson Tide 31-20 as a 10-point favorite. The Gators defense limited the Crimson Tide to just 136 yards rushing and 187 through the air. It was not a look ahead game last week for the Florida Gators as they pounded the Florida St Seminoles 37-10. It was a thorough domination by the Gators who out gained Florida St 545 yards to 269 in victory. The Gators stormed out to a 30-0 lead and never looked back. Gators quarterback Tim Tebow is hitting on 66% of his passes with 17 touchdowns and 4 interceptions. Since Tebow’s poor game at Mississippi St 6 games back the senior signal caller has not thrown an interception. Tebow has run the ball very effectively the past two games with 192 yards rushing and three touchdowns combined. Tebow has huge weapons in the running game with Jeffery Demps averaging 7.7 yards a carry and Chris Rainey 6.5 yards a rush attempt. Florida is the number one defense in all of college football allowing 233 yards per game and just 9.8 points per game. Arkansas behind Ryan Mallet at quarterback put up the most points on the Gators with 20 points scored on the Gators back on October 17th. Alabama Crimson Tide survived a scare last week beating Auburn 26-21. The team fell behind early in this game 14-0 early but rallied to get the win. Sophomore running back Mark Ingram struggled last week with just 30 yards on 16 carries. Ingram did not practice on Monday sporting a sore hip. Starting quarterback Greg McElroy is hitting on only 60.8% of his passes with 16 touchdowns and 4 interceptions. McElroy is a pocket passer who has struggled all season with accuracy issues. Against good defensive teams McElroy was only 44% accurate at Mississippi, 50% against Virginia Tech and just 50% against South Carolina. There is a pattern to McElroy’s poor play as it has been all against good defenses. Alabama is third in the nation in defense allowing an average of 235 yards per game.
