Georgia and Alabama are ready for their showdown. These two programs are done talking, they are ready to lace them up, put the pads on and see who the better team is this year.

But before the game begins, here are three bold predictions as Georgia looks to take the Crimson Tide down and move to 4-0 on the season.

Gunner Stockton scores 5 touchdowns

Gunner Stockton is coming off a dominant performance at Tennessee two weeks ago. He not only found the end zone two times through the air, but he also scored a touchdown with his legs as well. His three touchdown performance is one of the biggest reasons why Georgia won that game, and it's also a reasoon why he is one of the frontrunners to win the Heisman Trophy.

Stockton needs a Hesiman moment though if he is going to win the biggest award in the sport, so what better time to do that then against Alabama. Stockton will have a few signature plays against the Crimson Tide, but a five touchdown performance (four passing, one rushing) is all anyone will be talking about Sunday morning.

Georgia defense records 4 sacks

Georgia's defense has had some issues getting home to the quarterback this season. In fact, UGA only has four sacks so far this year. That will not be good enough against an Alabama offense that has been firing on all cylinders recently.

So look for Georgia to prioritize getting after the quarterback as they will double their sack total on the year by taking down Ty Simpson four times Saturday night.

This game is over by the end of the 3rd quarter

If those two predictions come true it is hard to see a way that Georgia loses this game. But it still more than likely would be a close game entering the fourth quarter.

That is not what is going to happen on Saturday though. Georgia is going to jump out to a big lead and never look back. Stockton will dominate and Georgia's defense will suffocate Alabama all night long to the point where this game is over when the fourth quarter begins.

In theory it is impossible for the game to be "over" when there is still 15 minutes to play, but Georgia will be up by at least 17 points so it will feel like Georgia has already won.
