#8 Michigan vs. #2 Alabama

[2phatshakur]

Alabama is pretty much ahead talent wise from top to bottom. Except for QB. That being said, I expect Michigan to put up a fight, and an SEC team scoring 30 points or more is still not very common unless it is one of the DII schools they routinely schedule. My pick....'bama 28...UM...21.

Oh..wow SEC is now scheduling DII schools? Whats next JV squads?

I think you meant FCS.

Michigan comes in with nothing to lose. That makes them dangerous if Alabama takes them lightly.

That being said, in my mind Alabama has a 95% chance of winning.

Alabama scored over 30 points nine times last year.

I Just think Nick Saban has had to much time to prepare his team for this game. I know they lost alot on defense but I still don't see Denard Robinson doing to much of anything. Close in the 1st half but after halftime Bama pulls away

I don't mean to be a homer, but this game won't be close. Michigan might score a touchdown, but won't score more than a field goal in the second half.

Bama may be reloading this summer on defense specifically, but don't think that Saban has let these kids forget the main goal for one second. Even without Lacey, Bama has two serious threats in Fowler and TJ Yeldon, not to mention Dee Hart stepping in as much as he can as well. And that's just for starters.

I wouldn't be shocked to see this one get ugly well before half-time, then Bama will hit cruise control and take it easy to seal the victory for week one. Bama, 34-10.

**This may seem far fetched or homer, as I said. But looking back through other comments, it isn't so bad after all.
