Are you bold enough to trust the Indiana Hoosiers? Few seem to be, simply because of their name and history. Yet they are the only unbeaten team in the country and are about to face the immensely flawed Alabama Crimson Tide.
Still, my Alabama vs. Indiana predictions put some faith in the Tide in the College Football Playoff quarterfinals, though only a measured amount.
Our best Alabama vs Indiana SGP for the Rose Bowl
One could argue Indiana should be favored by double digits. Advanced metrics certainly make that argument. The combination of Alabama’s pedigree and the Tide’s explosive offense brings this spread down as low as a touchdown at some sportsbooks.
That explosive offense works only when Alabama forsakes the run. When the Tide get desperate enough, their passing game could make the Rose Bowl interesting.
In other words, once the Hoosiers are up two scores in the second half, look for Alabama to start throwing the ball with abandon. That thought creates a game state of a backdoor cover, knocking the game Over its total as Ty Simpson throws a couple of late touchdown passes.
