Our BYU Cougars vs Alabama Prediction
This game is likely going to be all-offense but with the total set a little too high, we will be looking for BYU to keep this game close. BYU is an excellent shooting team, averaging 48.3% from the field (23rd in the country) and 37.2% from the three-point line (30th in the country).
While Alabama’s defense has not given up more than 70 points through the first two games, they have still been vulnerable all season to the point where they allow an average of 81.6 points per game.
With BYU being a much better score team compared to Robert Morris or Saint Mary’s (Alabama’s first two opponents), our BYU Cougars vs Alabama Crimson Tide prediction is BYU alternate spread +6.5.Caesars Rewards Program
