Bettors have overwhelmingly sided with Alabama over Michigan so far, and bookmakers are expecting the money to continue flow in on the Crimson Tide ahead of the Rose Bowl on Monday.
Sportsbooks were reporting heavy action on the underdog Crimson Tide this week. Approximately three times as much money had been bet on Alabama as Michigan at some sportsbooks. At BetRivers sportsbooks, the Crimson Tide plus the points was the most popular bet of any of the remaining bowl games. The second-most popular was Alabama to win the game straight-up.
Despite the lopsided action on the Crimson Tide, the point spread was holding steady at Michigan -2, the same as the opening line, Friday.
