Colorado State at Alabama

Last week Alabama sought and got revenge in their rematch with Texas A&M- the only team that beat the Tide a year ago. I think most expect Alabama to come out as flat as a pancake vs. a soft opponent in Colorado State. I heard a few interviews with players addressing exactly that issue. The response was this week is our first home game of the year, and it will be exciting, and you can't be flat with 100,000 cheering for you. Nick Saban doesn't let down. Under his guidance Alabama is 31-19 ATS after back-to-back wins and 24-12 ATS after gaining 6.25+ yards per paly last game including 10-2 ATS after gaining 7.25+ ypp.  Let's put things in perspective here. The last seven times a team came here as a FBS opponent, but was not a BCS Conference opponent, the Tide has won by a total score of 314-24. That is an average score of 45-3. This may be the most offensive Tide team of all, so 60 points is not out of the question here. And none of those teams in the past scored more than 7 points. Colorado State is just 7-17 ATS on the road in their last 24. This is a ton of points, but it's not going to be enough. Take the Tide.
