Oakland vs Alabama Prediction
In this Oakland vs Alabama Prediction, Alabama is coming as -32.5 home favorites. Both teams have started the season on completely opposite trajectories, with Alabama being undefeated but having failed covered the spread in both games, while Oakland has been winless and has failed to cover the spread in its last two games, while being forced to play its fourth straight game to start the season on the road, so this is a brutal scheduling spot for them. Alabama has been superior both on the offensive and the defensive end, having a +18.5 point differential as opposed to Oakland’s -19 point differential. I expect the hosts to win this one comfortably, so take Alabama and lay the points.
