Breaking news; Alabama rated as heavy road favorites according to NFL…….
Alabama Football is a heavy road favorite this weekend as they head to Madison for the first time in 96-years to face the Wisconsin Badgers at Camp Randall Stadium.
Despite a recent history of road woes for the Crimson Tide, two ESPN models remain bullish on Alabama against Wisconsin on Saturday.
Per ESPN’s FPI, Alabama has a 92.3% chance of walking out of Camp Randall victorious. The Badgers have historically struggled at home against Top-10 ranked non-conference opponents, posting a 1-9 all-time record with their lone win coming back in 1974. The Badgers haven’t faced a Top-10 opponent outside of the Big Ten at home since 2001 when Miami blased them by 48-points. All time, Wisconsinis 3-19-1 against ranked non-conference opponents at home.
Bill Connelly’s SP+ system projects a 33-15 win for Alabama. For a deep dive explanion of Connelly’s SP+ system, something I have found very useful over the years, you can read his explanation in his own words
