This is 100% NOT the New Year's Eve Bowl Game that Alabama and head coach Nick Saban envisioned they'd be playing in at the beginning of the season. But, for any other program in the country, a trip to the Sugar Bowl against Kansas State would still be seen as a huge success.
What's impressive is despite the fact that Alabama does have a bunch of transfers, the Alabama vs. Kansas State op-outs are precisely 0 for the Tide.
Bryce Young, Will Anderson and Jahmyr Gibbs, along with many others that are expected to be drafted on Day 1 or Day 2 of the 2023 NFL Draft, are going to be playing for Alabama on Saturday.
So, with a team that is pretty much full, it makes sense that Alabama is favored by nearly a touchdown, according to the latest Alabama vs. Kansas State odds.
As for Kansas State, it was a surprisingly successful season for the Wildcats. One that culminated in a Big 12 Championship with a massive upset win over TCU. The Horned Frogs are still headed to the College Football Playoff, but KSU delivered them their lone loss of the season.
So, how should you be betting this one? Let's take a look at Alabama vs. Kansas State odds, opt-out tracker and predictions to try and find out.

Last year's Heisman Trophy winner Bryce Young found out the hard way that it's not easy to play quarterback when you have inexperienced receivers surrounding you.
Still, the latest Alabama vs. Kansas State odds for the Sugar Bowl clearly favor the Tide to come out on top by a fairly wide margin.
Most every school with as much talent as Alabama that isn't playing for a National Championship is dealing with tons of opt-outs as players get ready for the draft. But, the Tide are different.
Young will be under center for Alabama despite the fact that he is expected to be a top-5 pick. Defensive end Will Anderson will be a top-10 pick and he's also suiting up. The Crimson Tide will have everyone, so it makes sense they are a 6.5-point favorite according to Alabama vs. Kansas State odds.
If you want to ride with Will Howard and Kansas State, you can get +225 odds on that bet right now.
Alabama vs. Kansas State Prediction
The old saying goes "No one has ever gotten rich betting against Nick Saban's Alabama teams." and I'm following that in this one. I am fully comfortable taking the Tide at anything less than a TD and this line falls into that category. Some teams with this much talent may not get up for a Bowl Game that has no national title implications. I don't worry about that with a Saban-led squad. Give me the Tide spotting Kansas State 6.5 and we'll start New Year's Eve off with a big win.
