McNeese at Alabama picks and predictions
Prediction
Alabama 98, McNeese 73
Moneyline
PASS.
There is no value on Alabama (-2500) to win Monday.
Against the spread
BET ALABAMA -18.5 (-110).
The Crimson Tide have an ability to push the pace of the game that McNeese will be unable to mirror. They have scored 88 or more points in both of their games this season and have veterans like Sears who can command the floor. The Cowboys will be unable to compete Monday.
Over/Under
BET OVER 167.5 (-110).
Alabama will be responsible for carrying a majority of the load for the Over to hit, which it can do. It scored 110 in its season opener Nov. 4, while its defense allowed 79 points Friday. Expect a quick pace to this matchup resulting in a higher-than-average total hitting.
