re: Alabama regular season over/under win total – 9.5

Bet the over, and Alabama has to go at least 10-2.

I want to see Alabama shore up corner - particularly field corner - in the portal window. The defense is taking a step back but a better solidified corner situation should allow it to be adequate albeit not elite.

Offensively, there is a chance this is a really good rushing football team but the passing attack is going depend on freshmen and a sophomore fully recovering from a knee cap injury before the Fall. Not entirely for production, I think Bernard, Prentice, and Law are fine receivers but they're all sorta slot types. Alabama needs performance from X/SE and Z/FL and that is where the ambiguity exists.

I suspect they drop a game they shouldn't and win a game they shouldn't, just like all year 1 programs. The question is about the consistency...if it is a consistent product then, yes, 10-2 is attainable. If not 9-3 or worse is possible too against their schedule.
