Every SEC team is in the midst of spring practice, so what better time to start looking at the 2018 season from a gambling perspective. Since we’re in championship mode (well, for basketball), we’ll start off with the bubble team that caused the most madness for teams last season – defending national champion Alabama.
Alabama kicks off the season against Lamar Jackson-less Louisville in Orlando as 30-point favorites; the Tide also is co-favorites, with Clemson, at 2.5-to-1 to win the 2018 national title. Another title might mean the heavy-handed (he’s got six rings already) Nick Saban will have to take off a couple of those rings.
