Texas vs. Alabama Odds Breakdown
Roll Tide? Holy smokes is the public all over Alabama this week. Despite being favored by 20.5 points, 92% of the money is on Alabama to cover the spread against the Texas Longhorns on Saturday afternoon.
Not only does Alabama have a potent offense led by Bryce Young but arguably the best player in the country is on their defensive line. Will Anderson Jr. has a legit chance to win the Heisman as a defensive player this year, which should tell you all you need to know about how good he is. He should dominate the Longhorns offensive line all game which is why many see this one getting ugly, quick.
If Texas was to cover this game, they're going to have to use the best running back in the country, Bijan Robinson to their advantage. Playing keep away from the Crimson Tide's offense is the best path to covering this game, and maybe having a shot to win if things go right for Texas.
Are you with the public on this one? I feel like it's hard not to after we saw just how dominant this Alabama team can be this year. Nick Saban knows Steve Sarkisian a little too well for my liking in this one.
