Washington’s a considerable underdog in this game, and nobody seems to be giving them a chance despite a 12-1 record and owning one of the most balanced and talented teams in the country.

Alabama’s dominance is overshadowing how good they were in Pac-12 play, but you can justify the massive line and favoritism.

Alabama does all of the things that killed Washington against USC, and they have the best front that they will face all season long. Alabama’s game and personnel in the trenches outmatches Washington’s, and they’ll be able to kill the running game and force Jake Browning into uncomfortable situations.

Washington has not seen a front this good since they lost to USC, and judging from what Colorado was able to do to Browning, Alabama could have a field day. Washington will pull out all of the tricks in their bag and at the end of the day fall short in a game that’s closer than everyone thinks it will be.

Final: Alabama 38 Washington 27
