Alabama is For Real

Diago Pavia has been a godsend for this team, and he completed 14 of his 23 passes for 178 yards, two touchdowns, and zero interceptions. He also rushed 17 times for 84 yards. The defense actually wasn’t all that bad, it’s just the offense couldn’t get enough going. On the season, Pavia has completed 54 of his 75 passes for 721 yards and six touchdowns.

Vanderbilt vs Alabama Prediction

This is a letdown spot for Alabama, and Vanderbilt is going to keep this Game within a couple of touchdowns. Diago Pavia is the answer for Vanderbilt, even if it’s only for one year. Alabama should still win this Game pretty easily, but their defense is going to struggle against Pavia and he’s going to have a huge Game here. This Game is going to be closer than most expect. Back Vanderbilt against the spread.
