Texas Alabama Spread For BCS Championship Betting - 01-06-10
January 6 - The College Bowl games this season have produced one betting upset after the other as underdogs have seemingly covered every spread the bookies can throw at them. On Thursday night the BCS Championship game will crown the best team in the land, and can Texas continue the betting trend by getting yet another underdog cover?
The latest Texas Alabama spread from the offshore sports books shows that the Crimson Tide are favored by -3.5 points pretty much without exception. The line for the game opened at -3.5 points and although we hear that a lot of money is coming for the Longhorns from the casual betting public the spread has stayed constant.
One reason for this could be that a lot of wiseguy money is still coming for Alabama to cover the spread, keeping the line stable at the key number of -3.5 points. If this line moves to -3 points at any point that would be signifcant and could signal that Texas are the right team on the night.
Both teams are undefeated on the seaon and one of them will join Boise State as the only team to run the table. Boise State pulled off the big betting upset earlier this year when they defeated TCU, whom many pundits considered the best team in College Football this year.
Our prediction is for a defensive struggle that will see the game finish UNDER for total points, but Alabama's class will tell and they will win a close one by 7 points and get the cover against the spread in the process.
