Of course Alabama plays neither LSU, nor Auburn this weekend. Still, it's never too early to break out the hypothetical crystal ball and pretend they do.
Mobile-based sports handicapper Danny Sheridan told AL.com what his point spreads would be if they played Saturday instead of November.
The No. 1 Crimson Tide would be a 10-point favorite over LSU, Sheridan said. And the Iron Bowl would have a 19-point spread with Alabama favored.
"Do I think that's too high?" Sheridan said. "Hell yeah I think that's too high."
But as he explained, the lines aren't as much of a prediction for the outcome, but an effort to get bettors to spread their money equally over and under the number.
