Alabama vs. Georgia Player Prop Best Bets
Gunner Stockton Anytime Touchdown (+180)
Gunner Stockton has had it easy so far this season. The Bulldogs have played a very easy schedule, and Stockton has gotten by throwing screen passes and playing the game-manager role at quarterback. However, he will need to be at his best to beat the Crimson Tide tonight. Stockton is a great runner, but has not had to use his legs much at all this season. Last season, Stockton had double-digit rushing attempts in seven different games. He ended the season with 10 rushing touchdowns.
In this game, Stockton should rely on his legs when in doubt. Alabama has struggled against mobile quarterbacks this season. Kamario Taylor rushed for a score against Alabama, Ashton Daniels rushed for two touchdowns against them and LaNorris Sellers rushed for 72 yards against the Crimson Tide. Georgia will be without Chauncey Bowens for this game, the team’s goal-line back and rushing touchdown leader this season. Stockton could get some more designed runs in goal-to-go situations with Bowens out, and he is also a great scrambler.
Keelon Russell Anytime Touchdown (+105)
Keelon Russell has had a sensational start to the season and is a serious Heisman candidate. This will be by far the best defense Russell has faced so far this season, and he will need to play his best to beat Georgia. The Bulldogs will try to take away the deep shots down the field that Russell has hit all season. Kirby Smart will try to make Russell methodically move the ball and force him to make throws into tight windows to keep the sticks moving. Russell should rely on his legs when he is in trouble.
The team that wins the turnover battle will have an excellent chance at winning this game, as these teams are so well-matched. Keelon Russell will be well aware of that, and when in doubt, he should take off and run rather than force tough throws. Russell has a huge arm, but he is also a great runner. He has rushed for a touchdown in four out of five games so far this season. He has a great chance to find the endzone again in this massive game.
