Gambling911.com has determined a line of Alabama -61.5, hence the reason oddsmakers are reluctant to post a line here.
Oddsmakers have been reluctant to release a line based on the options Alabama has to sit players.
Alabama coach Nick Saban says he has no plans to hold out quarterback Tua Tagovailoa this week against The Citadel.
Tagovailoa has been bothered by a right knee injury in recent week.
"No. Why would we do that?" Saban said. "I mean, to say this was not an important game or he doesn't need to play? I think we need to do a better job of the people playing around him, doing what they're supposed to do so he doesn't get hit. And he needs to do a better job of stepping up in the pocket and getting rid of the ball, which he had several opportunities to do.
"Some of these hits could be avoided by better execution, and I think that's what we're going to focus on, not trying to take a guy out of the game so he can't improve or do what he needs to do to get better."
As good as Alabama might be, it's difficult to see gamblers taking a -61.5 line.
