Georgia hasn’t needed to lean heavily on its passing game this season, steamrolling nearly every opponent in its path. That will change this weekend, as the Bulldogs will need Gunner Stockton’s arm to make plays on the road.

It's the game of the week between Georgia and Alabama, and we've got plenty of player props to break down ahead of this heated SEC showdown, with a tropical storm adding another wrinkle to the matchup.

Weather aside, I dug through the board and found three props I believe are well worth a look. Without further ado, here are my Georgia vs. Alabama prop picks, headlined by another big outing from Bulldogs quarterback Gunnar Stockton. 

Before you get too far, be sure to check out all of our college football picks for Week 6.

Best Georgia vs Alabama props

Prop pick #1: Keelon Russell Under 238.5 passing yards

Despite my belief that Georgia will come out on top in this matchup, Alabama quarterback Keelon Russell will likely struggle through the air in Week 6, even if he's forced to play from behind.

We've already seen him struggle against a semi-competent pass defense this season, as he managed just 188 passing yards against Kentucky. The Wildcats rank 74th nationally in passing yards allowed per game but surrender just 6.0 yards per attempt, the 16th-best mark in the country.

Georgia is allowing just 209.3 passing yards per game this season, ranking 53rd nationally. While the Bulldogs haven't faced top-tier competition, the Crimson Tide have yet to encounter a defense of this caliber.

If the Bulldogs want to pull off the upset in Tuscaloosa, they'll need to limit the Crimson Tide's aerial attack, making Russell's Under 238.5 passing yards worth a look.

Playable down to 230 yards.

Prop pick #2: Gunner Stockton Over 199.5 passing yards

Georgia hasn't leaned heavily on its passing game early this season, with just 44.53% of its plays coming through the air.

And rightfully so, as all five of its wins have come by 24 or more points. However, this matchup should be far more competitive and could be one of the toughest tests of the season for both teams.

Gunner Stockton has surpassed 199.5 passing yards three times this season. In the other two games, the Bulldogs largely had things wrapped up by halftime, eliminating the need to air it out or prompting them to bring in the backup.

This matchup should require Stockton to play all four quarters, and with the spread suggesting Georgia could be playing from behind, the senior QB may need to air it out.

The Crimson Tide have allowed more than 230 passing yards per game this season, with opponents averaging 7.6 yards per attempt. That presents a solid opportunity for Stockton to clear 199.5 passing yards.

And for those SPRINTING to @ me on X about the weather, The Weather Channel forecasts the storm to pass by kickoff, with just a 24% chance of precipitation and winds of 7-9 mph.

SLING THAT PILL, GUNNER!

Prop pick #3: Keelon Russell Over 20.5 rushing yards

With sacks counting against a college quarterback's rushing yards, Russell's longest rush prop is worth a look.

All of his longest runs this season have gone for more than 15 yards, even against Kentucky, when he finished with -9 rushing yards. That line should hover around 13.5 yards.

Russell has used his legs plenty early this season, rushing for more than 35 yards in three of Alabama's five games. His season-high came against East Carolina, when he ran for 86 yards.

With the pressure Georgia's defense will bring against the sophomore quarterback, Russell will likely be forced out of the pocket and looking for open grass.

However, sacks remain a concern when evaluating his total rushing yards, so there's less room for error with that market.
