SNEAK PEEK: Alabama a Surprisingly Big Favorite Over LSU

Las Vegas still believes in the Crimson Tide.

NCAA Football: Mississippi State at Alabama
It doesn’t get easier for the Tide.
Gary Cosby Jr.-USA TODAY Sports

Alabama and LSU have a week off before their big showdown in Baton Rouge. Most bookmakers do not make public their odds for two weeks in advance. However if you are a subscriber to DraftKings, you probably got a notice Sunday morning on the earliest point spread for the game.

Yes, you read that right. The Crimson Tide is a 16.5 point favorite on the road November 5th. The Over/Under will probably not be released until next week.

Alabama destroyed Mississippi State on Saturday by 30 until the last play of the game, and LSU beat them by 15 earlier in the season. Could that be the source of their pretzel logic?
