Quick: Name the last time Alabama won fewer than 11 regular season games? Go ahead and google it — I’ll wait.
Now, look at Alabama’s schedule for 2018. Google that too — I’ll wait.
Now, take a look at Alabama’s depth chart on RollTide.com
Finally, peep the latest regular season win projections for the SEC in general, and the Alabama Crimson Tide in particular:

In short, there’s absolutely no way Alabama loses two games with this schedule. Zero. Nada. Zip. Nuh Unh. And, with the money line at $130, you really have no reason to get in while the getting is good.
There are some intriguing ones here though: LSU flirting with 7-5 (I suspect they go over), Arkansas near .500 (I’ll take 5-7 at best, Alex), and some pretty serious disrespect for a Florida team that would almost have to be kidnapped to go 7-5 — all those underclassmen of last year are now upperclassmen and have a system head coach.
Anything else strike you as standing out?
