The Grand Daddy of them all kicks off the CFP Semi-Finals when No. 4 Alabama faces No. 1 Michi, they were able to win out but not without some close games to test them.  Alabama’s offense was 17th in the country in scoring, at 35.1 points per game this season. On the defensive side of the ball, they allowed 18.4 points per game, 17th best in the country. The Wolverines finished the season as one of the four undefeated teams in the FBS.  They ranked second in the country on the season allowing just 239.7 yards per game and the 9.5 points per game allowed was the best scoring defense in the land. The Michigan offense is second in the Big Ten and 14th in the country with an average of 36.7 points per game. This season, the Wolverines were 3-0 SU versus ranked opponents and Alabama was 4-1 SU.  Michigan is 7-2 ATS over their last nine games. Michigan has not seen an offense like Alabama’s. This will be a battle of trenches and I like Alaba, to come out on top. Harbaugh has not shown he can win bowl games and the fact that JJ McCarthy has not shown he can win the game with his arm will play out on this one as I expect Bama to make Michigan beat them through the air.

Play on Alabama. This is a 4% play
