Alabama vs. Kentucky odds were pretty steep for the Crimson Tide at -16 at SBG Global (the best line out there online Saturday morning). Alabama was still getting significant betting action in this game, around 90 percent or greater. The Las Vegas Hilton had a line of -15.
Odds opened at Crimson Tide -16 ½ and have been hovering between that number and -16 throughout the morning Saturday. In addition to the -15 line at the Hilton and a few other sportsbooks there, Sports Interaction had pushed the line all the way up to +17 ½ for Kentucky. Should Alabama win by 17 points, you could actually bet both sides on this game. The "17" is a pretty good number when one considers two touchdowns and a field goal win by Alabama.
The Crimson Tide are 3-0 against Kentucky but only won by 3 points at home last season and only one time by more than the current spread (28 points on the road).
Alabama is 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games following a SU win of more than 20 points.
They are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games as a favorite.
The Wildcats are 9-2 ATS in their last 11 games as a home underdog of 10.5 or greater.
They are 2-5-1 ATS in their last 8 games following a S.U. loss.
Why not bet the middle in this game? The risk is nominal.
Kentucky at +17 ½ at Sports Interaction
This game goes off at 12:20 pm so make sure you have the account set up no later than noon EST.
