The Warhawks’ third game of the season will be far from easy when they visit Alabama, a university they have faced three times in their lifetime and defeated only once 15 years ago.
The last time they met, in 2015, they fell by a 34-0 slate and must play a near-perfect game for this not to happen again. Proof of this is that during the first week, against Texas, a team that almost beat Alabama last week, they lost 52-10.
In their win over FCS team Nicholls State, quarterback Chandler Rogers led the way with 235 yards and two touchdowns, while the defense got the job done at the right times despite allowing 310 total yards.
Betting on the Alabama Crimson Tide
- Regular Season Record: 2-0
- Spread: -49.5
- Moneyline: N/A
- Over/Under: 61.5 Points
In front of their home fans and against a non-conference team, the Crimson Tide will be looking to retake control of the nation’s rankings at all costs.
Nick Saban’s team is on a streak of 54-game winnings against non-conference teams, including 40 at home. The Warhawks, who finished last year with a 4-8 record, should be able to maintain their winning streak and are projected to have a similar record in 2022.
Alabama took the edge of being one of the best in the circuit to come out on top at home against the Longhorns with a field goal with 10 seconds left in the game. Quarterback Bryce Young led a great offensive series to finish with 213 yards and a TD, while the defense also did its job and is expected to be virtually unbeatable against UL Monroe.
JefeBet Prediction
UL Monroe already knows what it’s like to beat Alabama. However, back then head coach Nick Saban was just in his first year with the program and things were much different than they are today. The Crimson Tide are one of the most feared teams in the nation and at home, they should have no trouble getting past the Warhawks.
Prediction: Alabama Spread.
