The Alabama Crimson Tide finished off their 2022 college football season with a 45-20 Sugar Bowl beat down of Kansas State. But although the Tide won their bowl game, to call 2022 a successful season is nonsense. For Alabama and their fans, anything short of the CFP is a let down.
Will Alabama return to the College Football Playoff this season? Or is Bama due for another disappointment?
Let’s see if the Alabama Crimson Tide have what it takes to back the betting odds to win the National Championship.

What is Alabama’s Straight Up Prediction this Season?
Alabama lost 2 games last season, which had a drastic impact on Bama’s chances of making the College Football Playoff. Even though Bama boasted two of the best players ever to wear crimson, quarterback Bryce Young and linebacker Will Anderson, the Tide had to settle for a Sugar Bowl victory.
Young and Anderson are gone. So Bama could struggle to win more games this season than they did last season.
Then again, this is Alabama. If Nick Saban and offensive coordinator Tommy Rees find a legit starting quarterback among Notre Dame transfer Tyler Buchner, top returning starter Jalen Milroe, and Ty Simpson, the Bama offense will roll.
Simpson has the most upside, Milroe is the best rusher, and Rees knows Buchner because both were at Notre Dame last season.
Saban said quarterback is the biggest question. If the Tide gets their quarterback situation together, they could run the table. There are no world beaters on the schedule and LSU and Texas travel to Tuscaloosa.
But if QB becomes a problem, Bama could lose up to four games: vs. Texas, at Texas A&M, vs. Tennessee, and vs. LSU. Bama could lose a fifth, at Auburn in the Iron Bowl, if the quarterback situation is a disaster.
It’s difficult seeing Alabama losing more than three games. So we will go with a disappointing 9-3 Bama regular season.
What will the Crimson Tide’s Against the Spread Record be this Season?
The oddsmakers set perfect against the spread lines on Alabama Crimson Tide games last season. The Tide went 6-6 ATS in their contests.
Alabama is one of the most popular college football teams on the planet. So there’s no way oddsmakers will get it wrong this season. Unless Bama bombs, in which case our straight up prediction may not be close, the Tide go 6-6 ATS again. 2022
What will be the Over Under Total Record for Alabama Crimson Tide Games in 2023?
The total was off by a game. Without Bryce Young, and knowing Alabama’s opponents the way oddsmakers do, the total record will settle around the same 5-7 from 2022.
We’ll give Bama one more over than under game this season because oddsmakers could, especially early in the season, discount Bama’s offense due to the change at offensive coordinator and the QB questions. Let’s go 6-6 over-to-under.
