FOX Sports betting analyst explains why Cincinnati will play Alabama close in CFP semifinal

Alabama is an unsurprising favorite against Cincinnati in one of the College Football Playoff semifinals this year. The teams are set to meet in the Cotton Bowl at AT&T Stadium on Dec. 31.

According to FOX Bet Sportsbook, the Crimson Tide are a -13.5 favorite to defeat the Bearcats and advance to the national championship game in Indianapolis. Cousin Sal believes the number is a little high. He points to Cincinnati's efficiency of quarterback Desmond Ridder and the defense's ability to generate turnovers.
