Alabama vs. Michigan Prediction
Alabama did not know if their name would be called when the committee announced the college football playoffs.
The Tide lost an early season game against the Texas Longhorns, which almost kept them out of the playoffs.
The big controversy was that an unbeaten Florida State team was left out of the playoffs and that a one loss Bama team got into the playoffs.
Bama will look to earn their seventh National Championship under head coach Nick Saban.
Jalen Milore leads the Bama offense. The Katy, Texas native has thrown for 2,718 yards, 23 touchdowns, and six touchdowns. Additionally, Milore has rushed for 12 touchdowns.
Senior Jase McClellan leads the Bama backfield, rushing for 803 yards and six touchdowns.
Senior Jermaine Burton has been the top target of Milroe racking up 777 yards and six touchdowns.
The Alabama defense ranks 14th in points allowed per game (19.1).
The Wolverines will attempt to win their first National Championship in the Jim Harbaugh era.
Michigan has not won a National Championship since 1997.
The Wolverines enter this contest with a perfect record of 12-0.
J.J. McCarthy commands the Wolverine offense. The Junior has thrown for 2,630 yards, 19 touchdowns, and four touchdowns.
Senior running back Blake Corum has been one of the best running backs in college football, racking up 1,028 yards and 24 touchdowns.
Roman Wilson has been the favorite target of McCarthy. Wilson has collected 662 yards and 11 touchdowns.
Michigan has been the best defense in college football, allowing opponents 9.5 ppg.
Let’s dive into my best bet.
Alabama vs. Michigan Pick
Michigan is the better team on both sides of the football.
Bama has been playing great football as of late, but this large break in between games is a disadvantage for them.
The difference in this game will be the Michigan defense.
This defense has shut down every offense they have faced this year, and they will limit Bama today.
Let’s stay hot and cash in!
