Happy Friday, everyone. We open today with this from ESPN about Alabama’s current streak of consecutive games as a betting favorite.
Alabama has been favored in its past 67 games, and 139 of its past 140 overall. The Crimson Tide were 1-point underdogs at Georgia in 2015, a game they won 38-10. It was the first time Alabama hadn’t been favored since the 2009 SEC championship game, when the Tide beat Tim Tebow and Florida 32-13 as 5-point underdogs. Alabama was favored in its next 72 games, the longest such streak since at least 1978, according to ESPN Stats & Information.
