Alabama -9
I currently been studying this game for the past week and I have a winner. I love Alabama in this situation. A overrall look at both teams is very different in styles. Utah is your modern team that tries to beat you through the air and Alabama is your old style traditional team that beat you on the ground and up front. Many people may ask will Alabama be up for this ball game and I can tell you from being a LSU fan that Nick will have his team ready for a Bowl Game. Alabama strengths is to play power football with all 3 backs and then set up the playaction with there recievers they have. Well, Utah weakness is stopping the run. Wyoming ran for over 200 yards on this Utah defense and TCU ran for over 200 yards on this Utah defense. This is a serious problem for Utah. They will not know how to stop the run because they cant stop the run. That will force Utah to load the box and the playaction will be open in this ball game. Utah strength is passing the ball and Alabama has a great pass defense. They contained florida from a dominating pass performance and I expect them to shut Utah down!! This line is set to low, if this game was a regular season game Alabama would be favored by more than 10 the reason behind this is it is a bowl game.
