AAA's 10* PEACH BOWL *Wash/Bama* GAME OF MONTH PLAYOFF SEMIFINAL!
(NCAAF) Washington vs. Alabama, 12/31/2016 10:00 AM, Score: 7 - 24
Point Spread: 14.50 | -115.00 Washington (Away)
Result: Loss
This is a 10* GAME OF THE MONTH on Washington.

REASONING: We got down on this one early and have Washington at +17 and it's since dropped. Regardless, we think the high-flying Huskies can test Alabama's nation leading defense and keep this one a lot more competitive than what the oddsmakers are leading us to believe. Washington hammered Colorado 41-10 in the Pac-12 Champ game, while Alabama cruised to a 54-16 win over Florida in the SEC title contest. The Crimson Tide are No. 1 in points allowed this year, allowing just 11.8 per contest. But there were two offenses which Alabama was unable to contain, beating Ole Miss 48-42 on September 17th and Arkansas 49-30 later on. Washington has steamrolled every opponent this year with its dominant offense, except in its only loss, falling 26-12 to USC on November 12th. QB Jake Browning has 42 TD's this year, to go along with just seven picks. But Washington's defense is vastly underrated in our opinion, as it concedes only 17.2 PPG, ranked ninth overall. Bama QB Jalen Hurt was 11 of 20 for 137 yards and one score in the win over the Gators. Hurts has 33 combined rushing/throwing TD's and nine picks. Note that Alabama is just 1-2 ATS in its last three dome games, while Washington is 2-0 ATS in its last two in the same position. With a month off to prepare, we think Chris Peterson has the Huskies ready to play today. Grab the points, play on WASHINGTON.
