2017 College Football Predictions – Alabama Crimson Tide Betting Odds & Team Preview: The top college football program in the nation over the last 10 years has been the Alabama Crimson Tide without question. Ever since head coach Nick Saban touched down in Tuscaloosa in 2007 the Crimson Tide program has done nothing but showcase excellence on the gridiron and that should continue in 2017. Win or loss, Alabama is always in the hunt for the National Championship and have won 4 National Titles under Saban since 2007. Alabama is coming into this season hungry to avenge last season’s loss in the National Title Game to Clemson and will have the roster to make another great run at the title. Read our 2017 Alabama football team preview and Alabama college football predictions below along with the betting odds on Alabama football this season from Bovada Sportsbook.

2017 College Football Predictions – Alabama Crimson Tide Betting Odds & Team Preview

Head coach Nick Saban finally got a taste of what it feels like to lose the National Championship Game last season and he is chomping at the bit to get back there and wipe that taste away. He will have a good chance to do just that as Alabama brings back a loaded roster filled with 12 returning starters led by sophomore quarterback Jalen Hurts. Hurts played great as a freshman throwing for 2780 yards and 23 touchdowns but should be even better this season with a year of experience under his belt. The Crimson Tide were just the 34th ranked total offense last season but we expect them to be improved greatly this season thanks to Hurts’ continued development. Defensively, Bama had the 1st ranked defense last season and should be amongst the nation’s best again this season. Tons of former 5 and 4 star recruits are all over the Bama defensive depth chart. 2017 Projection 12-1, 7-1 SEC

The bottom line is Alabama does not rebuild. They reload. Saban is a machine and the best head coach in all of college football. The offense was great on paper last season but anyone who watched Alabama play knew it had flaws especially in the passing game consistentcy department. That should be much improved in 2017 with Hurts improving under new offensive coordinator, Brian Daboll. The offensive improvement will be necessary as the defense will most likely take a small step back from last season’s top-ranked unit in the nation. We have Alabama ranked as the #2 team in the nation this season slightly behind Ohio State. However, it won’t surprise us in the least to see Alabama win the 5th National Championship in the Saban era this season.
