Middle Tennessee Form
Middle Tennessee will look to build on a positive 2022 season that saw them knock off a ranked team and win a Bowl Game.
The Blue Raiders rebounded from a 44-7 opening-day defeat with a three-game win streak that culminated with a 45-31 upset of #25 Miami on the road.
They lost their next three games, but bounced back strongly to win four of their final regular season games.
Middle Tennessee beat Charlotte 25-14, Florida Atlantic 49-21 and Florida International 33-28 in their final three games to seal a Bowl game appearance.
The Blue Raiders then made it four-in-a-row as they edged San Diego State 25-23 to win the Hawaii Bowl.
Alabama Form
Alabama enter the 2023 season with the intention of securing a return to the College Football Playoffs this season.
The Crimson Tide opened the 2022 regular season with a six-game win streak, but a couple of stumbles after that cost them.
They suffered a 52-49 defeat to #6 Tennessee that cost them the #2 spot, and two weeks later they were beaten 32-31 by #15 LSU.
Alabama rebounded to finish the regular season strong though, following up a 30-24 win at #11 Ole Misses with a 34-0 shutout of Austin Peay and a 49-27 victory over Auburn.
That secured a place in the Sugar Bowl for the Crimson Tide, and they took the honors with a 45-20 win against #11 Kansas State.
Verdict
Alabama have previous for beating up on lesser teams in their season opener.
More of the same is predicted here, with the Crimson Tide backed to win and cover against Middle Tennessee.
