Alabama at Michigan

Alabama won't be playing for a national championship, so how up for this bowl will they be? They've split the last two games, beating rival Auburn (28-14) while getting shut down by Oklahoma in a 24-3 loss as a 14-point favorite. That uneven play says a lot about this team, with three quarterbacks combining for just 16 TDs and 10 interceptions. Michigan is on a 3-2 SU, 4-1 ATS run, winning twice as big underdogs. The Wolverines were a +19.5 dog against Ohio State but won 13-10. They were also a +14 dog at Indiana and hung in there with tough defense in a 20-15 defeat. The defense is 11th in the nation in yards allowed, 24th in the red zone, and 19th in points (20.5 per game) given up. Play Michigan.
