It seems that both teams are capable of scoring this season. Their offensive firepowers are one of the best in the country. However, both sides are facing some injury problems and that might the downside of this clash. Nevertheless, I expect a very tight game between two efficient teams.
All in all, I think that Alabama has the edge in this one. Go for the Crimson Tide in this one.
