Arizona vs Alabama Pickswise Expert Predictions

Game Totals Pick
Over 178.0(-110)

The Arizona Wildcats and the Alabama Crimson Tide will face off on Saturday night in Birmingham for a ranked matchup. It will be a top 15 tilt inside Legacy Arena with Arizona ranked #1 in the country and Alabama ranked #12. It will be a semi- home game for Alabama, but Arizona is still a slight favorite in this one. Arizona is currently -1.5 but my best bet of the game is the over.

The total is set very high at 178 points, but I still like the total to be over that. Both teams have efficient offenses and play a high-paced game. The Crimson Tide are one of the fastest teams in the country and like to shoot as many threes as they can, so their up and down style should dictate a fast-paced game. According to KenPom, Alabama is ranked #9 nationally in adjusted tempo and #9 in average offensive possession length. Likewise, Arizona is ranked #34 in adjusted tempo and #41 in average offensive possession length.

Elite offense should be on display all night as both Alabama and Arizona are ranked inside the top 23 in points per game this season. Alabama is ranked #2 in adjusted offensive efficiency while Arizona is ranked #9 on KenPom. A battle between two top 10 offenses and fast-paced teams should help bring the total over. Take the over here.

Arizona vs Alabama prediction: Over 178 (-110) available at time of publishing. Playable at that number.
