Prefer streaming? You’ve got options! You can stream the game through ESPN+ or Sling TV. Just keep in mind, that ESPN+ is a separate subscription service that costs $10.99 a month and isn’t bundled with cable or satellite packages. If you already have a cable, satellite, or streaming service (like YouTube TV or Hulu) that includes ABC or ESPN, then you can stream the game via ESPN3.
Another budget-friendly choice is Fubo, which offers a 7-day free trial. So, no matter how you plan to watch, you’re covered. Be sure to tune in, because this Week 5 matchup is shaping up to be a nail-biter!
Alabama vs. Georgia week 5 game predictions
Last week, Georgia climbed to No. 2 after a nail-biter against Kentucky. Alabama, meanwhile, dominated Wisconsin and stayed at No. 4. But here’s the twist: This is the first Georgia-Alabama matchup without Nick Saban at the helm for Alabama. Saban retired in January, so Crimson Tide fans are eager to see how new coach Kalen DeBoer fares against the Bulldogs. So, savor your Saturday Night!
Both teams are gearing up to make this showdown a 4-0 start to their season. And according to Fox Sports, Georgia has a 56.1% chance of winning, while Alabama sits at 48.3%. Let’s not forget, that Georgia’s head coach has faced some tough times under Nick Saban’s leadership, and Saban still holds major influence at Alabama.

That’s why DeBoer, showing confidence, gave his team one last pep talk before the big game against Smart’s squad. “It’s just about celebrating guys like this, and I hope all the fans understand where we’re at right now and how we got to this point,” he said. Now, we’ll have to wait and see if Kalen DeBoer can be the key to finally ending Georgia’s losing streak against Alabama.
