The over is 21-10 in Crimson Tide last 31 overall.

The only reason to be hesitant with the Alabama Crimson Tide is because this is a look ahead spot with Michigan State on deck. There’s a clear talent gap between these two teams, and the Jacksonville State Gamecocks just lost to UIC on the road in a game they were favored by three points while shooting 37.5 percent from the field. Not good, folks. Assuming it’s focused, Alabama rolls.
