Alabama fans are already anxious about next week's Iron Bowl. FanDuel's opening betting odds won't make that any better.
While Alabama still has a game on its schedule before the Iron Bowl, the attention of Crimson Tide fans has already drifted toward Auburn.
With respect to Eastern Illinois, Alabama won't have much trouble dispatching of them. And then the season will be on the line at Jordan-Hare Stadium.
Alabama had an opportunity to render the Iron Bowl meaningless aside from bragging rights; a win over Oklahoma would have punched the Crimson Tide's College Football Playoff ticket and likely assured it a spot in the SEC Championship Game.
