College football fans and bettors are used to seeing Alabama play on New Year's Eve, but this year is a little different.

The Crimson Tide take on the Kansas State State Wildcats in the 2022 Sugar Bowl instead of a College Football Playoff semifinal, which has been the norm for Nick Saban's program.

As a result, motivation could be a factor for a team that always expects to be in the national championship picture, but isn't this year, especially as a favorite.

To ensure we're not going too far down the narrative rabbit hole to make our college football picks, let's rely on data, and data alone.

To do this, I looked at the Action Network's College Football PRO Projections, which are showing valuable betting opportunities on both the spread and total for Alabama vs. Kansas State in Saturday's Sugar Bowl.

Let's start with the Alabama vs. Kansas State spread.
