Latest Odds : Alabama -7 Total 58
Biggest game Michigan has played in in quite some years and a chance for coach Harbaugh to silence the critics that he never wins the big game against a big opponent. Let’s face it this years Alabama team has major flaws on defense they gave up a on of points this year and I believe this will be a focal point in the offseason for Nick Saban.
Alabama has been in all 5 previous college football playoff games and in the finals for 4 of the last 5 years. So to say Alabama players will have trouble getting up for this game is an understatement but that has not stopped droves of bettors from going heavy on Alabama. Alabama will also have issues on offense in this game as well as they have their backup starting do to injury.

Mac Jones will start at quarterback for Alabama and lucky for him he has big time Julio Jones type receivers to throw the ball to. Devonta Smith has 65 catches for 1,200 yards and also has 13 big time touchdowns. Jerry Jeudy has 71 receptions for 959 yards with 9 touchdowns look for both these guys to put up some yardage in the game as Michigan looks to shut down the running game of Alabama.
Michigan has also had a long layoff with their last game being a loss to arch rival Ohio State 56-27 these have been the games that coach Jim Harbaugh has come up short and will look to remedy this weekend. Winning this game against Alabama would go a long way to blistering Michigan going into next season.
