Alabama's offensive line is not a strength, averaging 3.4 yards per rush. They lost to Georgia in the SEC title game (209 total yards), going 3-of-14 on third down while running for minus-3 yards! They managed to get by Oklahoma in the last game, despite going 2-of-12 on third down while rushing for 28 yards on 25 carries (1.1 yards per carry). The defense is 13th in yards allowed and points allowed (17.9 per game). Alabama is on a 9-2 run UNDER the total. The Hoosiers come off a 13-10 win over Ohio State, part of an 8-4 ATS run. Indiana's defense ranks fourth in the country in yards given up, second in points allowed (10.8 per game), and fifth on third down (29.30%). They have met every challenge, going 3-0 SU/ATS against Top 10 teams, crushing No. 9 Illinois (63-10), beating No. 3 Oregon (30-20) as an underdog, and topping No. 1 Ohio State. Take Indiana + UNDER the total.
