Point Spread: 6.00 | -112.00 Gaels (SMC) (Away)
Result: Loss
Point Spread: 6.00 | -112.00 Gaels (SMC) (Away)
Result: Loss
T.M. Selection: St Mary's
The Gaels narrowly missed a cover they should have had in round one. Similar to Michigan, the Gaels have shown a knack for coming up with big comebacks in games and also being able to excel in tight finishes against high-quality teams. That means facing a very strong Alabama team will not phase St Mary's. The Gaels only losses have been by very slim margins this season and they have upset potential here against the Crimson Tide. The 5 losses for St Mary's this season by an average margin of 4 points. Alabama actually was trailing Robert Morris with under 7 minutes to go in that game and the Crimson Tide were favored by about 20 points in that one! The Colonials had 78 FG attempts compared to just 58 for the Tide. The point is that Alabama easily could have ended up losing that game were it not for hot shooting. The Gaels are a live dog here!
T.M. Prediction: 76-75 St Mary's
