Rainy conditions, sloppy play, and Jalen Milroe not playing allowed the Bulls to hang round.

The Crimson Tide earned a 17-3 victory, yet fans want more dominance. Milroe will start this weekend in the matchup at Bryant-Denny Stadium and oddsmakers in Las Vegas have Alabama opening up with a massive point spread. Kalen DeBoer and the Tide went over the 31-point spread against Western Kentucky, but Circa Sports has it a 32-point favorite versus the Bulls.
