After overcoming the largest spread in the history of their long rivalry against Tennessee a week ago, top-ranked and NCAAF Week 10 betting odds favorite Alabama will look to cover the biggest spread in over a decade against No. 19 LSU this coming weekend.
If you want to know if the unbeaten Crimson Tide can cover the chalk as three-touchdown home favorites when they host the Tigers in their SEC showdown on Saturday, let’s find out right now! Alabama will host LSU at Bryant-Denny Stadium at 8:00 PM ET with this matchup airing on CBS.
Last but not least, I could also point to the fact that Alabama has covered the spread in each of the last four meetings against LSU, including last season’s 10-0 shutout win as a 7-point road favorite. Last but not least, I could say that the better the opponent, the better Alabama plays.
“This game has turned into a huge rivalry through the years since I’ve been here especially, but probably even before that,” Alabama head coach Nick Saban said. “Since 2007, I think, both teams have been ranked in the Top 20 in each one of these games that we’ve played. I don’t think this one’s really any different.”

Why consider the Tigers NCAAF Week 10 Betting Odds?
Why bet on the Tigers in this Week 10 conference clash?I guess the best reason to do that is that the 21.5-point spread is the largest betting line between the two longtime SEC rivals in over 10 years! LSU is also playing solid football coming into this matchup having won three consecutive games and four of their last five games overall. “LSU has gotten better as the season has gone on,” Saban said. “Probably the worst thing that happened for all of us in the SEC is when they lost to Troy. “They’ve really made a turnaround as a team, which I think speaks volumes of the coaching staff and the job that Ed Orgeron has done there to get the players to re-center, refocus, work on improving. They’ve been very productive since that time and playing very, very well as a team.” The Tigers are also coming off of what was probably their best game of the season two weeks ago and their second-highest scoring total of the season in their 40-24 blowout win over Ole Miss as a 6.5-point road favorite in Week 8. Still, snapping a six-game skid against the top-ranked Tide will be difficult. “We focus in on the task at hand,” LSU head coach Ed Orgeron said, “but I realize that it’s out there, obviously. I realize the pressure to beat Alabama as the head coach here.” LSU ranks 27th nationally in points allowed (20.0 ppg), but Orgeron says he knows his team needs to execute at a high level and maintain discipline. “The first thing we talk is execution, doing it right every down,” Orgeron said. “When you watch them play, you watch them block, you watch them run, it’s all about great athletes being well-coached and execution.Why consider the Crimson Tide’s NCAAF Week 10 Betting Odds?
Why bet on top-ranked Alabama? Well, damn, let me count the ways! I could start by saying that Alabama absolutely embarrassed Tennessee 45-7 two weeks ago to cover the chalk as a mind-boggling 36.5-point home favorite and that now, no spread looks too big for them to cover. I could also point to the fact that the Crimson tide has scored 41 points or more in every game this season except two.
Last but not least, I could also point to the fact that Alabama has covered the spread in each of the last four meetings against LSU, including last season’s 10-0 shutout win as a 7-point road favorite. Last but not least, I could say that the better the opponent, the better Alabama plays.
