Alabama vs Michigan Preview & Picks
Alabama vs Michigan Preview & Picks
Alabama are backed to cover the spread as they win the ReliaQuest Bowl.
Both teams are likely to be missing key talent for this one, but the Crimson Tide’s stronger roster suggests they will be the ones to overcome and absences.
- Alabama are 4-1-0 ATS in their last 5 games
- Michigan are 2-4 against ranked teams this season
- The Under has cashed in 5 of Alabama’s last 6 games
- The Under has hit in 3 of Michigan’s 4 games away from Ann Arbor
Head To Head
- The all-time series is tied at 2-2
- Michigan won 27-20 when the two teams last met on January 1
Alabama Form
Alabama finished the regular season with a 9-3 record, narrowly missing out on a place in the College Football Playoffs.
The Crimson Tide won their first four games of the season, including a thrilling 41-34 victory when they hosted Georgia, but stumbled in October.
They lost twice in a three-game spell, sandwiching a 27-25 win at South Carolina with a shock 40-35 defeat at Vanderbilt and a 24-17 loss in Tennessee.
Alabama rebounded with a couple of wins over ranked teams, only for a 24-3 defeat at Oklahoma to ultimately cost them a place in the playoffs.
The Crimson Tide did close out the regular season on a positive note though, beating Auburn 28-14.
Michigan Form
Michigan’s defense of the national championship never got going, as they finished the regular season with a 7-5 record.
The Wolverines lost their head coach and several key talent following their success last January, and they were unable to overcome those losses.
Having already lost in non-conference play, they suffered four defeats in the space of five Big Ten games to miss out on the conference championship and the playoffs.
During this rough run Michigan lost 27-17 at Washington, 21-7 in Illinois, 38-17 to Oregon and 20-15 at Indiana.
The Wolverines did end the regular season with a couple of wins though, following up a 50-6 blowout of Northwestern with a 13-10 victory at bitter rivals Ohio State.
Verdict
Player opt-outs are likely here, so we have to lean towards the team with the deeper roster.
That is the Crimson Tide, so we are backing them to pull away against a Michigan team who struggled on offense almost all season long.
