Let’s dive into the impressive stats behind the dominating 42-10 win by the Crimson Tide over the Badgers.
This week, the Crimson Tide faces off against Georgia in a highly anticipated SEC showdown in Tuscaloosa. Interestingly, Alabama starts the week as a rare home underdog, with odds favoring Georgia by 2 points at most sportsbooks. However, the line has been shifting in Alabama’s favor.
The Crimson Tide boasts an impressive streak of being favored in 90 consecutive home games, dating back to 2007 against LSU. Moreover, they haven’t been underdogs in any regular-season game since 2015 against Georgia. If the line holds, both streaks will come to an end against the Bulldogs.
Earlier this summer, Georgia was favored by 4.5 points, as bookmakers assessed the potential impact of coaching changes on Alabama’s performance. However, after a month of play, oddsmakers believe the Crimson Tide have been the more impressive team.
Chris Andrews, a seasoned Las Vegas oddsmaker, initially had Georgia favored by 4.5 points but has since revised his assessment. “Georgia is a great team, but they haven’t been as dominant as they were last year,” Andrews noted, adding that he plans to offer a line more favorable to Alabama compared to other sportsbooks. Currently, multiple sportsbooks have Georgia favored by -1.5, while others have the line at -2.5.
