Ed Scimia believes Michigan's defense will be the key to covering the spread against Alabama in their ReliaQuest Bowl matchup. Despite a disappointing season, the Wolverines showed signs of improvement, but Alabama's national relevance and strong program history make them the favorites.
While Michigan's offense leaves much to be desired, Ed Scimia believes their defense will be the difference maker here as the Wolverines stay within this two-touchdown spread.
