Indiana vs Alabama Preview & Picks
Indiana are tipped to cover the spread as they win the Rose Bowl and advance in the playoffs.
The Hoosiers’ defense has been on a dominant run this season, and that pass rush can make it a rough day at the office for Alabama starter Ty Simpson.
- Indiana have won all 13 games this season
- Indiana have covered in all 3 games against ranked teams this season
- Alabama have lost 2 of their previous 3 games against ranked teams
- The Under has cashed in 9 of Alabama’s previous 11 games
Head To Head
- This is the first time that these two schools have met
Indiana Form
Indiana enter this matchup as the number one team in the nation, having won all 13 of their previous games this season.
The Hoosiers reeled off three consecutive non-conference wins, before starting their Big Ten campaign with a stunning 63-10 demolition of Illinois and a 20-15 success at Iowa.
They then backed that up with a statement win at Oregon, beating the Ducks 30-20, before maintaining their perfect record the rest of the way to secure a conference championship appearance.
Indiana beat Michigan State 38-13, UCLA 56-6, Maryland 55-10, Penn State 27-24, Wisconsin 31-7 and Purdue 56-13.
That set up a Big Ten Championship showdown with another unbeaten team, Ohio State, and they knocked the Buckeyes off top spot in the rankings with a 13-10 victory.
Alabama Form
Alabama come into this game having rebounded from their SEC Championship defeat with a first-round victory at Oklahoma.
The Crimson Tide endured a rough start to the season as they lost 31-17 at Florida State, but they rebounded with a couple of non-conference wins before racing out of the blocks in SEC play.
They reeled off four consecutive wins against ranked teams, beating Georgia 24-21, Vanderbilt 30-14, Missouri 27-24 and Tennessee 37-20, before making it eight wins in a row overall as they downed South Carolina 29-22 and LSU 20-9.
Alabama’s run was brought to a halt by a 23-21 loss to Oklahoma, but they rebounded with a 27-20 win at Auburn to seal an SEC Championship place, only to then lose 28-7 to Georgia.
The Crimson Tide put that behind them in the first round of the playoffs though, as they avenged a regular season defeat to Oklahoma, winning 34-24 on the road.
Verdict
Alabama is a flawed team, while this Indiana group has been on a dominant run this season.
The Hoosiers shut down Ohio State in the conference championship, and they are capable of slowing down this Bama group to ensure they are not a playoff flop.
