Michigan Wolverines (7-5) vs Alabama Crimson Tide (9-3)
Tuesday, December 31, 2024 at 12:00 pm
At 12 Noon, in the Reliaquest Bowl at Tampa, Florida, our selection is on the Alabama Crimson Tide minus the points over Michigan. The Wolverines reached their zenith this season when they upset rival, Ohio State, 13-10, in Columbus, as a 19.5-point underdog. The Wolves have generally had letdowns following upset wins, including 3-11-1 ATS their last 15 after pulling an upset as an underdog of 4+ points (and, then, 0-6 ATS if their current opponent was playing with revenge). Last year, the Wolverines bounced 'Bama out of the Playoffs in the semi-final game at the Rose Bowl. We'll take the revenge-minded Crimson Tide minus the points this afternoon. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.
