In Las Vegas, where wagering is legal and the primary industry is persuading people to partake in the opportunity to make a bet or two, one of the year's more intriguing college football opportunities has been released. The annual win totals represent the number that Las Vegas uses to entice gamblers to bet on whether a team wins more games than the number, or less. (It isn't a guess, it's a lure designed to attract fish from both sides of the money pond.)
Alabama's projected total for the regular season is 9.5 wins. That doesn't include any postseason play, no SEC Championship game or bowl wins.
