Alabama vs Robert Morris Prediction

I’m on Alabama in this one. I’ll give Robert Morris credit for what this team was able to accomplish as a cover team this season, covering at a ridiculous rate of almost 80%. However, Robert Morris had one of the weakest non-conference schedules in the country, and their one step up spot to start the year was a 28-point loss to a West Virginia team that missed the NCAA tournament. Alabama has a potent and lethal offense that can blow anyone out of the water in a hurry and I think Robert Morris is in some trouble here. I think Alabama makes a statement in game one so give me Alabama here.
