Alabama at South Florida Preview & Picks

Alabama are tipped to cover as they rebound from last week’s loss.

The Crimson Tide are the superior team in every way and are likely to take out their anger on South Florida. 

  • Alabama are 8-4-0 ATS in their last 12 non-conference games
  • South Florida are 0-2-0 ATS so far this season
  • The Over has cashed in 4 of Alabama’s last 5 games
  • The Over has hit in each of South Florida’s last 5 games against SEC teams

Head To Head

  • Alabama lead the all-time series 1-0
  • Alabama won 40-17 when the teams last met in August 2003

Alabama Form

Alabama come into this game on the back of a defeat that has already dealt a blow to their chances of making the College Football Playoffs.

The Crimson Tide entered their 2023 campaign looking to get back into the playoffs after settling for a Sugar Bowl win in 2022.

They got off to a predictably dominant start as they blew out a lesser team, Middle Tennessee State, 56-7.

Alabama failed to back that up last weekend, as they faced their first ranked team of the season.

The Crimson Tide suffered a surprise 34-24 home defeat at the hands of #11 Texas, getting out-scored 21-8 in the fourth quarter.

South Florida Form

South Florida head to Alabama on the back of their first win of the season, which improved them to 1-1.

The Bulls opened the season on the road and suffered a 41-24 defeat at the hands of Western Kentucky.

The two teams were locked at 17-17 at half-time in that one, before the Hilltoppers pulled away after the restart.

However, there was no second half collapse from South Florida last weekend as they got off the mark.

The Bulls gave up an early touchdown in that one, but replied emphatically with a couple of first quarter TDs as they went on to win 38-24.

Verdict

Alabama will be determined to issue a strong response to last weekend’s loss.

That is likely to be bad news for South Florida, with the Crimson Tide backed to run riot and cover in a win.
