Alabama Vs Texas Betting Lines

Team	Spread	Moneyline	Total
Alabama	-7.0 (-110)	-280	O53.5 (-110)
Texas	+7.0 (-110)	+230	U53.5 (-110)

The Alabama Crimson Tide have an absurd 99-5 record at home since 2008. Those five losses were to incredible teams that featured three Heisman Trophy winners and a combined record of 63-6.

Playing in Bryant-Denny Stadium is reason enough for legal Alabama sports betting to favor the Crimson Tide at home. Nick Saban’s dominance over assistant coaches also gives value to Alabama’s -110 odds to cover the 7.0-point spread on Saturday.

Texas head coach Steve Sarkisian worked under Nick Saban as the offensive coordinator in 2019 and 2020. Now, Sarkisian hopes to overcome the +230 legal Texas sports betting odds to become just the third assistant ever to defeat Saban.

Jalen Milroe Proved Himself in Week 1

Many of the doubts surrounding Alabama was uncertainty at quarterback. Jalen Milroe proved he’s the guy against the Middle Tennessee Blue Raiders, going 13/18 for 194 passing yards and three touchdowns through the air.

Milroe added 48 rushing yards and two touchdowns on the ground, becoming the first Alabama quarterback ever to throw for three touchdowns and rush for two in a game. Although Middle Tennessee is a weak first test compared to Texas, his poise and dual-threat ability was enough for legal college football betting sites to give Alabama -280 moneyline odds.
