Odds to win the College Football Playoff National Championship

Georgia: -143 (bet $10 to win $16.99 total)
Alabama: +120 (bet $10 to win $22 total)

Alabama knocked off the No. 4 Cincinnati Bearcats in one half of the semifinal on New Year's Eve, covering as 13.5-point favorites with a 21-point victory, while Georgia marched past the No. 2 Michigan Wolverines 34-11, also covering as 7.5-point favorites.

As a result, this year's national championship game is a rematch of December's SEC championship game, in which Alabama beat Georgia 41-24 for the Crimson Tide's seventh straight win over the Bulldogs. Georgia was a 6.5-point favorite in that initial matchup, with Alabama winning as a +190 underdog on the moneyline.

These two teams similarly collided in both the 2018 SEC Championship and College Football Playoff National Championship games — a double-dip that Alabama swept.

Can Georgia turn the tide and finally knock off Nick Saban & Co.? Or will Alabama come away with its fourth national title in eight seasons of the CFP era? Head on over to FOX Bet to place your bets now!

Here are some picks by our betting experts:

FOX Sports college football analyst Charles Woodson

"I think the Georgia Bulldogs are playing inspired football. They ran over my Wolverines, which I'm not too happy about, but I think this team is on a mission to finally beat the Crimson Tide. I'm gonna go Georgia 27-23 over 'Bama."

PICK: Georgia (-2.5 at FOX Bet) to win by more than 2.5 points

FOX Sports Betting Analyst Geoff Schwartz

"This Alabama offense made all the big plays against Georgia's defense in the first meeting, and I don't believe it will happen again. Georgia's defensive line will play better, which will lead to the Bulldogs' secondary having a better game. Plus, without wide receiver John Metchie, this is a different Alabama offense. The Crimson Tide's passing game looked pedestrian against Cincinnati's pass defense. This number is just too high for this game."

PICK: Bryce Young under 315 yards passing yards at FOX Bet

"Alabama has scored under 24 points twice this season. The first was against LSU five weeks ago when they scored 20, and then the next instance came in an overtime win against Auburn. Both of those teams disrupted the Alabama offense on the line, which is precisely what I see Georgia's defensive line doing in this rematch. I can't hammer this home enough, UGA's defensive line played poorly against Alabama, and that won't happen again."

PICK: Alabama team total under 24.5 at FOX Bet

"Alabama is on track to start a true freshman at guard and another replacement at right tackle. With two offensive line starters going down against the Bearcats, it will be a tall task to contain this Bulldogs attack. I'm betting on Georgia to make life tough for Young and this entire Alabama offense in the title game."

PICK: Over 2.5 sacks by Georgia at FOX Bet
