Jumbo Package: Cincinnati’s opportunistic defense is the key to an upset

Happy Monday, everyone. We’ve reached the short game week of the semifinal matchup against Cincinnati. As of now, Alabama is holding steady as a 13.5 point favorite according to DraftKings Sportsbook. The Bearcats’ defense is of particular concern for the Tide.

“It’s an all-around great group from top to bottom,” Young said. “Those corners are the guys that get a lot of talk, and it’s definitely warranted. On film, they pop off the screen. They’re really good on the back end. Their entire secondary is really good. Their linebackers are very good as well, very instinctual players.
