The featured game this week comes on Saturday night with No. 2 Alabama facing No. 8 Michigan from Cowboys Stadium at 8PM ET (View Matchup). According to oddsmakers from the MGM Mirage in Las Vegas, Alabama enters the game as a 13.5-point favorite over Michigan. The consensus is that Alabama should contend for the national title again while Michigan is still not quite at the elite level. The Wolverines do have a great weapon in Denard Robinson, and a strong defense, but Alabama should have the size and strength to keep the Wolverines in check. Alabama hasn’t lost a non-conference game since 2008.
Things get underway on Thursday with Vanderbilt hosting No. 9 South Carolina at 7PM ET (View Matchup). According to oddsmakers at the MGM Mirage, South Carolina is a 6.5-point road favorite against Vanderbilt. South Carolina has won 17 of its last 21 against Vanderbilt, but the Commodores have covered the spread in three of the last five meetings. Though an over/under has yet to be set in this game, these two have hit the under in four of their last five meetings.
