The No. 1 Georgia Bulldogs (12-0) will take on the No. 8 Alabama Crimson Tide (11-1) in the 2023 SEC Championship Game.

The Bulldogs have won 18 consecutive SEC games, while the Crimson Tide have covered the spread in four of their last five games.

This is the third time in the last four years that these two teams have met in the SEC Championship Game. The Bulldogs won the first two matchups, including a 33-18 victory in the 2022 CFP National Championship Game.

Kaylor's Analysis:

"The Bulldogs are the better team in this game," Kaylor said. "They have a more experienced offense and defense, and they have been playing better all season long. Alabama is a good team, but I think the Bulldogs are just too good for them this year."

Key Factors to Watch:

• Turnovers: Both teams have been very good at avoiding turnovers this season. The Bulldogs have only 10 turnovers all season, while the Crimson Tide have only 11.

• Red zone offense: Both teams have been efficient in the red zone this season. The Bulldogs have scored touchdowns on 70% of their red zone possessions, while the Crimson Tide have scored touchdowns on 66% of their red zone possessions.

• Third-down conversions: The Bulldogs have converted 45% of their third downs this season, while the Crimson Tide have converted 44% of their third downs.

Prediction:

The Bulldogs are the favorites to win the SEC Championship Game, and I think they will live up to the hype. I predict the Bulldogs will win by a score of 28-24.
