For most bettors, a No. 3 Georgia vs. No. 2 Alabama showdown is enough to warrant a bet on its own. For sharps, though, it takes more than just a hyped-up matchup.

Specifically, it takes betting value.

Of course, there's no rule that says a hyped-up matchup can't also be providing betting value. And that's what looks to be happening in Saturday's game.

Our PRO Report feature makes it clear, so let's take a look.
