#Alabama Football

For the Alabama Crimson Tide fans dreading a long football season, we have an update. There are only 227 days until the 2023 college football season begins. That is the current interval until the next, week zero games, which include Hawaii coming to Nashville to play Vandy. Navy and Notre Dame will also play that weekend, in Dublin, Ireland. Seven…

The Georgia Bulldogs are a college football dynasty. After a beatdown of #3 TCU, Kirby Smart's team has cemented their spot in college football lore. Now, the real challenge begins. Can Georgia become the first team since the Minnesota Golden Gophers from 1934-36 to win three straight college football national championships? We're about to find…

Alabama football has had a love/hate relationship with the Sugar Bowl. Paul W. "Bear" Bryant loved the SuperDome but Nick Saban has had his struggles. The Tide's current head coach finally got over that hump in the 2017-18 game. Saban may be familiar with New Orleans, but it will be the first trip to the Big Easy for anyone on the roster and all…

Alabama football finds itself back in the Sugar Bowl, a bowl game that has not been particularly kind to the Crimson Tide in the Nick Saban era. Alabama is 1-3 in the annual New Orleans-based bowl game since Saban took over as head coach, dropping the team's first three Sugar Bowl trips in that stretch - 2008 versus Utah, 2013 versus Oklahoma and…

The 2019 Kentucky Derby race day will be much like the one hundred and forty-four that preceded it: Rain or shine, the morning breaks at Churchill Downs, the horses may take an easy turn around the track, and the trainers and owners will begin to fidget and fuss in their losing battle to keep everything routine. The Derby is at bottom an unknowable…

The New Orleans Bowl features the Jaguars taking on the Hilltoppers at the home of the Saints on Wednesday. Find out why we're betting on a high-scoring affair in our South Alabama vs. Western Kentucky betting picks. For the second time in history, the South Alabama Jaguars will square off with the Western Kentucky Hilltoppers when the two meet on…

Georgia beat Michigan to win the Orange Bowl. Five thoughts and analysis of the game, and what it all means. Final Score: Georgia 34, Michigan 11 CFN Prediction: Georgia 30, Michigan 20 Line: Georgia -7.5, o/u: 45.5 Oh were the post-SEC Championship narratives were rich. One rough loss to Alabama, and … Georgia's secondary was a weakness. Georgia…

The team many Alabama football fans were rooting for in the Big 12 conference championship, Kansas State, is the Crimson Tide's next opponent. For Alabama to have any sort of chance to make the College Football Playoff heading into Sunday, it needed TCU to lose. That happened in overtime, but still it wasn't enough to bump the one-loss Horned Frogs…

One week out from the start of Fall Camp for Alabama football, let's preview the predicted 2022 success of every SEC football team. One credible source, College Football News (CFN) predicts 13 SEC football teams will play in bowl games. Vanderbilt is, of course, the one SEC football team not predicted to be rewarded with a bowl game. A list of the…

On Saturday, Arkansas could not quite pull off an upset Alabama Football needed. So there will be no post-season trip to Atlanta for the Alabama Crimson Tide this season. There will be a New Years Six Bowl plum. Winning it, to finish 11-2, would be a good finish to a Crimson Tide season that failed to meet expectations. A few days ago, I suggested…

As another Alabama football season winds down and Thanksgiving approaches, let's reflect on all the things Crimson Tide fans can be thankful for, even during a season with multiple losses and no shot at a national championship. Things haven't totally gone your way in 2022 but consider all we've seen and all you and the team can still accomplish…

Ten of the 75 offensive linemen selected in the XFL Draft on Wednesday were alumni of Alabama high schools and colleges, including three of the first five picks. The spring football league concluded the first day of its draft with 11 rounds of offensive-line picks. The eight teams selected 75 players with 13 passes in the final two rounds. Before…

Check out FanDuel's 2022 college football over under win total odds, including the Alabama over under win total prediction, part of our college football odds series. The first thing to note when considering the condition of Alabama football is that the Crimson Tide weren't especially strong last year. They weren't. This is not embellishment or…

The weekend is almost here, which means it is time for some Alabama football bold predictions. The No. 6 Crimson Tide will travel to face the No. 10 LSU Tigers on Saturday. This is probably one of the most anticipated games of the week and should attract a lot of attention from fans. Alabama is coming off its bye week after two important games. The…

In the first half of the season, it appeared the annual big tilt between Alabama Football and LSU would be a mismatch. The Bengal Tigers followed an opening-game loss to FSU with some unimpressive victories, and then a blowout loss to Tennessee. At that point, the 4-2 Bengal Tigers were nothing more than an'others receiving votes' team. LSU's…

The weekend is almost here, which means it is time for some Alabama football Week 6 bold predictions. The No. 1 Crimson Tide will be hosting the Texas A&M Aggies on Saturday for an SEC showdown. This should be one of the most anticipated games of the 2022 college football season. Alabama is coming off a strong 49-26 win versus then-No. 20 Arkansas.…

Happy Tuesday, everyone. Nick Saban is quite testy this week as you will see in his press conference video, but he did update us on some injuries. "Justin Eboigbe has got a neck injury that we're having specialists look at to make sure we manage correctly," Saban said, "and we're not going to allow him to play until we can get the exact most expert…

Alabama is a third of the way through the 2022 college football season and sits at No. 2 in the nation with a perfect 4-0 record. Though there are a couple of months before attention shifts to the College Football Playoff, it's never too early to look ahead. It's noteworthy that the Crimson Tide only missed the College Football Playoff once, which…

After Georgia wallowed around on Saturday against Kent State and Alabama hammered Vanderbilt, some Alabama football fans thought the Crimson Tide might return to No. 1. There were lots of changes in the latest AP and Coaches Polls, but not much at the top. The top five spots in the AP Poll did not change. In the Coaches Poll, the top six spots were…

Nick Saban wants more of the same from Alabama players in at least one regard. The second-ranked Crimson Tide's coach is hoping they'll ignore the oddsmakers ahead of Saturday night's game with Vanderbilt, which they seemed to do fairly well in an obvious mismatch with Louisiana-Monroe. "I was really pleased with the energy that our players played…

Give a big thanks to Tom Stephenson of Anchor of Gold for taking the time to answer my questions about Vanderbilt. With it being fairly rare for the Tide to play them, we Bama fans often know very little about their actual program and players. Enjoy! - In one of the more remarkable early surprises (to us on the outside, at least) of the 2022…

On Monday morning, The Athletic's Shams Charania reported that the NBA and the NBA Players Association are discussing the specifics behind a new CBA. Among the key conversation points? Lowering the age limit for NBA Draft eligibility from 19 to 18. If enacted - and it sure sounds like it's going to be - high schoolers will once again be able to…

The UCLA Bruins and head coach Chip Kelly should stay unbeaten when they head into a showdown with the South Alabama Jaguars as heavy favorites in a Week 3 college football showdown. This game kicks off on Saturday, September 17 at 11 a.m. PT/2 p.m. ET with a live TV broadcast on Pac-12 Network. • You can watch the UCLA vs. South Alabama football…

A big thanks to Dusty Thibodeaux of Warhawk Report for taking the time to answer some of my questions about Louisiana-Monroe's football team. Sure, it's likely to be a blowout, but it's still good to learn about the opponent as much as possible ahead of time. After a winless season in 2020, ULM ousted coach Matt Viator and went out to hire a name…

The Texas game did not go as I expected. Most Alabama football fans were likely surprised as well. As a result, last week's bold predictions were more wrong than right. Prediction misses came from Xavier Worthy who I said would cause the Crimson Tide problems as a punt returner. He did not. As predicted, Worthy did not lead Texas in receptions but…

Without a wager, there would be little drama in an Alabama Football game against Louisiana-Monroe. The Warhawks' win over the Alabama Crimson Tide in 2007 is part of history but it means nothing more. Even Alabama fans, choosing to not make a bet on the game, are far more interested in the contest than they were before the Texas game. Crimson Tide…

Alabama football earned a win on the road against a tough Texas Longhorns team that seems to be moving in the right direction under second-year head coach Steve Sarkisian. Now, as the Crimson Tide prepares for Week 3 against Louisiana Monroe, let's take a look into what experts predict will happen after the regular season. In 2021, a one-loss…
