Louisville went UNDER its last four games last season and that was with Lamar Jackson, who threw for 9,043 yards and 69 touchdowns in his career and ran for 4,132 yards and 50 TDs. Alabama and its great defense stayed UNDER six of its last nine games and three of the last four. Nick Saban has a lot to replace on the defensive side but, as always, he'll just reload with more blue-chip recruits and won't miss a beat. However, there could be a problem on the other side of the ball as a looming quarterback controversy might cause some concern as Tua Tagovailoa and Jalen Hurts have been named "co-starters", whatever that means, which will cause some instability on offense. The Crimson Tide also has lost four of its top five wide receivers. Alabama allowed only 12 points per game in 2017 and have averaged allowing opponents only 14.5 points the last four years. This game is being played at Orlando, Fla. and Louisville is 6-0-1 UNDER its last seven neutral site games and Alabama is 8-2 UNDER its last 10 non-conference games. Also, the Cardinals are 5-1 UNDER their last six non-conference games. Take the UNDER.
