Alabama vs. Tennessee Spread Does Not Move Off 16.5
The Alabama vs. Tennessee spread for Week 8 of the regular College Football season has not moved off the number -16.5 since opening. Alabama was the away favorite and getting over 80 percent of the betting action in this game.
After a loss to South Carolina two weeks ago, Alabama saw its odds of winning the 2011 BCS Championship get much longer (10/1). This week they were back in favor with the oddsmakers following a win and back around 3/1 favorites.
The Crimson Tide is now ranked number 8 in the nation and is widely expected to breeze by Tennessee, who would pay a massive $55 for every $10 bet if they were to win outright in this game. (see the Tennessee Vols money line here)
Tennessee will come into this game winless this season against conference foes, but Alabama is not taking the 2-4 Volunteers lightly.
"It doesn't matter what Tennessee's record is," defensive tackle Marcel Dareus said. "When we come to play Tennessee they're going to bring their 'A Game.' They play hard every time we play them, just like last year. We couldn't say anything about their record but when they come to play us they put on a fight."
