Why Alabama can cover
Alabama features one of college football's most explosive offenses. Led by quarterback Jalen Milroe, Alabama is averaging 52.5 points per game this season, which ranks seventh in the nation. Milroe is a dual-threat quarterback who can be effective with both his arm and legs. The junior signal caller has completed 65.7% of his passes for 394 yards and five touchdowns, while also rushing for four scores.
In last week's victory over South Florida, Milroe completed 16-of-26 passes for 194 yards and two touchdowns. He also carried the ball 12 times and scored twice on the ground. Milroe's effectiveness is a big reason why Alabama has won 13 of its last 14 games dating back to last season, including six straight on the road. See which team to pick here.
Why Wisconsin can cover
The Badgers are coming off a 27-13 victory over South Dakota last week behind a dominant showing from their defense. Wisconsin gave up just 237 total yards against the Coyotes and forced South Dakota to go 2-for-11 on 3rd down. Dating back to last season, Wisconsin has held its opponents to 17 points or less in four of its last five games.
Offensively, the Badgers feature several playmakers who can take over a game. Quarterback Tyler Van Dyke threw for 214 yards and a touchdown in last week's win over South Dakota, while running back Chez Mellusi found the end zone twice. Mellusi has racked up 35 carries for 134 yards and three touchdowns this season. See which team to pick here.
