The wrong team is favored here … in a very big way. Never doubt Alabama coach Nick Saban with a month to prepare, especially given that he can finally fine-tune the offense to fit quarterback Jalen Milroe’s strengths after adjusting on the fly during the season. Milroe presents unique challenges to the Michigan defense due to his arm and his vision as a runner – something that he has steadily improved upon during the season. This will be an upset … and a blowout.

One coach is 0-6 in his last six bowl games, while the other has won six straight CFP semifinals. Alabama really has no business being here except for the 4th and 31 prayer against Auburn. Michigan's victory over Ohio State was nice, but their schedule was so pathetic that we don't really know how good they are. I would've picked the Wolverines over Washington or Texas, but I don't trust them against the SEC's best (sorry Georgia). Alabama 20, Michigan 17.
