If Ossoff and Warnock win this race, I don’t think it will be because they ever had any 'momentum.' Notwithstanding unreliable public polling data, it’s just way too stable a race based on the fundamentals of the state and the nationalization/ramifications of the election. The only thing that might have changed the outcome would have been a better Republican GOTV operation (with Trump toning down the rhetoric/doing a few more campaign appearances) and slightly more effective Republican messaging (esp. on packing the courts rather than just throwing around the 'socialist' label 24/7), but I don’t think many voters were actually all that 'persuadable' in this race, including the fabled suburban/exurban Atlanta 'moderates.'
