Alabama vs Wisconsin Stats

Alabama Crimson Tide

The Kalen DeBoer era at Tuscaloosa has seen a successful start with two dominant wins over weaker opponents. The offense has been particularly impressive, averaging 52.5 points and 496.5 total yards per game, largely due to a strong ground game. Running backs Jam Miller and Justice Haynes have been standouts, with Miller averaging 9.7 yards per carry and two touchdowns this season. The defense has also been solid, with linebacker Jihaad Campbell leading the team in tackles. In terms of injuries, WR Cole Adams is doubtful, WR Jalen Hale is out, and OL Kadyn Proctor is questionable. With a power ranking of 11, Alabama ranks 7th in offense, 1st in defense, and holds a 2-0 record this season.

Wisconsin Badgers Analysis

The Wisconsin Badgers currently have a power ranking of 53 and rank 84th for offense, scoring an average of 28.00 points per game, and 62nd for defense, giving up an average of 14.00 points per game. They have an overall record of 2-0, with a 0-2 ATS record. In their last three matchups against Wisconsin, Alabama has gone 0-1 with a 0-1 ATS record.

Historic Rivalry Renewed as Alabama Prepares to Face Wisconsin

The historical matchup between these two schools occurred 96 years ago, with only one additional meeting taking place since that time. While the head-to-head series is split between the two teams, the Crimson Tide emerged victorious in the most recent encounter in 2015 with a score of 35-17. Moving forward, it is imperative for Alabama to maintain focus and not get ahead of themselves, especially with a challenging game against No. 1 Georgia looming next week. As this will be their first road game of the season, Alabama must ensure they are mentally prepared. With highly anticipated player Jalen Milroe yet to showcase his talents, facing the untested Wisconsin defense could be an ideal opportunity for him to shine. Despite the Badgers' potential strategy to fortify their defensive line against Alabama's strong rushing offense, they have shown vulnerabilities in past matchups against lesser opponents. Additionally, the Wisconsin offense has struggled against weaker defenses, making it likely that they will encounter significant challenges against the formidable Alabama defense. Overall, it is expected that the Badgers will face considerable difficulty in generating momentum on offense. Therefore, the current prediction favors Alabama to cover the spread in this upcoming game.
