Premium Pick

Michigan is 13-0 and leads the country in scoring defense allowing only 9.5 points per game and the Wolverines are No. 2 in total yards allowed with 239.7 per game and No. 6 in rushing yards allowed (81.7 per game). Michigan also can run the football averaging 161.8 rushing yards with Blake Corum leading the way 1,028 yards on 4.7 yards per carry and 24 TDs this season. J.J. McCarthy has been a solid quarterback for the Wolverines and has thrown for 2,630 yards and 19 TDs with just four picks in 2023 and he is no stranger to big games after beating Ohio State the past two years. Alabama is fortunate to be in the College Football Playoff and the Crimson Tide wouldn't have made it if the Auburn coaching staff hadn't been foolish enough not to rush the quarterback on a fourth-and-31 in the final seconds of the Iron Bowl. Alabama pulled out a win in that game and avoided two losses on the season. This is the toughest defense Alabama QB Jalen Milroe will face this season as the Wolverines are tough against the pass as well as the run. The Wolverines are 7-2-1 ATS their past 10 games. Take Michigan as a Max Play.
