Game Prediction!
The Pick: Creighton / Alabama Over 165.5
Creighton has beaten Alabama in all three of their past matchups, but they went 1-1-1 against the spread. Last season, Creighton snagged an 85-82 win at home. For this Creighton Bluejays vs Alabama Crimson Tide game, Alabama is the -10.5 favorite at home. Creighton's offense is stronger, scoring 11.2 points more than Alabama, while Alabama's defense is tougher, giving up 10 points less. Both teams are nearly in the top-100 nationwide in field goal percentage and have been super efficient on offense, averaging a combined 167.2 points per game. Alabama's defense isn't great, ranking in the bottom-40 for points allowed, so I'm expecting a high-scoring game today. Go for the over on the total.
