LOCK: Alabama -33.5 @ South Florida

While the Alabama dynasty may be waning, and Nick Saban could be seeing his former proteges pass him by, the fact still remains that you don’t want to play the Crimson Tide after a loss.

The Bulls are about to feel the wrath of Bama, and it won’t be pretty.

Under Nick Saban, Alabama is 10-1 after a loss in the regular season, with the only two-game losing streak coming in Saban’s first season when the Tide lost consecutive games to Georgia and FSU.

Since then, not only have the Crimson Tide won after a loss in the regular season, but they usually win big, with an average margin of victory of 23.5 points.

This will be a very angry, motivated, and emotional Alabama team. Tide by 35 at least.
