Alabama is a 10 point favorite on a neutral site.
Alabama has both a great defense and a great offense. Notre Dame has a great defense and an average offense.
That says that ND will give up more points than does Alabama, and that means that ‘Bama will win.
However, Brian Kelly knows that preparation for just one game deciding it all is the place to create unheard of razzle-dazzle. If Kelly’s razzle-dazzle works, then ND could be in this game. A graduate of Cincinnati, Kelly’s last head coaching job, I do agree that Kelly is an offensive genius, and the one who might be just the guy to create the tricksiest trick-plays of this young century.
Alabama by 7.
Good point. The tide would be 14 point favorite if played in Tuscaloosa and a 4 point favorite if played at South Bend. Those homefield advantages are awesome !! Doesn’t matter, the Crimson Tide wins 29 to 20.
