Here are this weeks point spreads from Scott Cooley at Bookmaker.eu. The biggest do-not-touch line involves our very own Alabama Crimson Tide. Is Alabama two touchdowns better than Arkansas? Sure. But a conference road game, at a location where Alabama has had wildly variant performances, and against a very strong Razorback team? I’m not sure I’d put my money where my mouth on that one. So keep your money off the Tide, especially when an exceptional Washington team is just an 8-point favorite against their mortal rivals, the very crappy Oregon Ducks. That one could be a snuff film.
