After opening at 54.5, Vegas now has it set at 58. Meanwhile, there has been significant movement on the game’s over/under. Even with backup quarterback Mac Jones starting the game for Alabama, I’m a bit surprised the number isn’t closer to what Vegas gave LSU in their matchup against Oklahoma - around 12 points or so. Going into Wednesday’s contest, Alabama is now favored by seven points - a number that I personally think still feels too low. Well, the line has moved, and the Tide now have that touchdown advantage that many people probably expected. When Michigan’s Citrus Bowl matchup against Alabama was announced, I think many people were surprised to see the Crimson Tide open as less than a touchdown favorite.
