Tide Face Off Against Aggies in Conference Final, Pay $1000 to Win NCAA Championship

Betting is easy from Tuscaloosa, Alabama, courtesy of our friends at BetOnline (18 and up welcome).  The city's Crimson Tide is among the elite in college football and they're starting to reach that status in college basketball as well. 

Tide Advance to SEC Title Game

No. 4 Alabama beat No. 25 Missouri and were heading to the SEC title game to face the Texas A&M Aggies.

The Tide opened as a -9.5 favorite against the Tigers (24-8 straight up) on Saturday and ultimately won 72-61, managing the cover as well.

Freshman Brandon Miller scored 20 points and grabbed 11 rebounds.  Noah Clowney added 19 points for Alabama, and Charles Bediako had 10.

Against Texas A&M, Alabama will be a much smaller favorite of -3.5.

The Crimson Tide had the second shortest odds of winning the 2023 NCAA Men's Basketball Championship with a payout potential of anywhere from $800 to $1000 on a $100 bet.

How the Tide Replace Their Biggest Losses in Football

QB Bryce Young is arguably the Crimson Tide's biggest loss. Young threw for 8,200 yards and 79 touchdowns over the past two seasons and is considered a top-five draft pick. On defense, Will Anderson Jr. is a huge loss for the Crimson Tide as well.

So who is going to replace Young?  They have a few talented options.

Jalen Milroe saw some action in 2022, throwing for 297 yards and five touchdowns on 31 completions. He also ran for 265 yards and a touchdown.

Ty Simpson was the No. 34 prospect in the 2022 class.

Eli Holstein and Dylan Lonergan are two ESPN 300 recruits who will compete as well.

Alabama was promising a payout of $500 for every $100 bet to win the College Football Playoff Championship in 2024 as of March 2023.
