This is an 8* play on Alabama.

Alabama is 13-7 overall, and 4-4 in the SEC. Baylor is 18-2 overall, including 6-2 in Big 12 action.

The Bears have won three straight after losing two straight. Most recently they crushed K-State by a score of 74-49. Note though that Baylor is just 2-7 ATS in its last nine after a SU/ATS win in which it held its opponent to 50 or fewer points in.

Overall the Bears average 78.7 PPG, while conceding 59.3.

The Tide will be extra-motivated here after a sluggish stretch, most recently falling 82-76 to Georgia on Tuesday. It was a brutal setback, as they were 14.5-point favorite.

However, note that Bama is 8-3 ATS in its last 11 off a SU/ATS loss in which it was favored by 10 or more points.

Alabama averages 81.1 PPG, while allowing 74.7.

Off its worst loss of the year, I say the Tide use it as a rallying point. Baylor has been far from perfect over the last month.

Give me the hungry and motivated home dog here. The play is ALABAMA.

Good luck, NP
