Current lines are Bama -10.5 and o/u 40.5. Obviously I like the Tide to win, but 10.5 is a hell of a lot of points given their propensity for having close games against quality opponents. Plenty of room for me to bet ND +10.5 and still root for Bama to win. 40.5 is a pickle and I think I'll be skipping on that one.
Saw a headline where Brian Kelly said "Leaving ND is not an option." which sure sounds to me like he'll be going to the NFL.
I head into this knowing the Irish are underdogs, and that Nick Saban is this generation's GOAT coach until proven otherwise. That said, Bama -10.5 does seem pretty high, and I'm curious to see how folks itt are inclined to bet. My best, honest guess in placing my own bias aside: Bama -7.5 seems right to me.
