Nick Saban not sold on Alabama as a 20-point favorite against Texas

Alabama football goes into its matchup with Texas as an overwhelming favorite.

Several betting sites, including Caesars Sportsbook, Points Bet, and Draft Kings, have the Crimson Tide winning by at least 20 points. For the first time since the 2010 BCS National Championship Game, the Tide and Longhorns play each other in a marquee game. Alabama won three of four critical road games in 2021, but the loss came against Texas A&M, and the Tide was heavily favored. Jimbo Fisher told Aggie boosters at the Houston Touchdown Club that he would beat Saban while he is in Tuscaloosa.
