College Football is perhaps the one sport that is tougher than most for teams looking to build a dynasty. After all, every program loses a batch of players every season, as some move on to the NFL while others finish school and leave the program. If you are a big-name school, it’s a little easier to recruit 5-star talent to fill those losses and remain as NCAAF odds favorites, but there is never any guarantee that those replacements are going to come close to being as good as their predecessors.
With all of that in mind, it really is astonishing how good the Alabama Crimson Tide have been in the Nick Saban era. The coach was able to awake a sleeping giant, to the point where Alabama is quite simply a dominant force in College Football. They have started this season with a perfect 4-0 record and will be looking for win #5 when they welcome in their SEC West rivals, the Ole Miss Rebels.
Conference games are always a little tougher, but Alabama comes into this one as a firm 28-point favorite, with the point total set at 59. Can Ole Miss spring the big upset in Tuscaloosa, or will they just be able to cover that huge spread?
The Tide just continue to roll, though, and they have looked pretty close to unbeatable so far this season. Last weekend was a perfect example of what this team can do. Leading up to their game versus Vanderbilt, members of the Commodores called out the Crimson Tide, essentially suggesting that they were weak and there for the taking.
Alabama did their talking on the field, routing Vandy 59-0 in a display that was as dominating as the score suggests. Alabama is almost impossible to beat at home and ae 19-1 in their last 20 games in their own building. One thing to look about the NCAAF Odds for this game is the UNDER, as it has come up in 4 of the last 5 home games that Alabama has had against Ole Miss.

Why bet on the Ole Miss Rebels?
For a few years, the NCAAF Odds were with the Ole Miss Rebels and they were able to push Alabama all the way in the SEC West, but they have proven to be one of those schools who has been unable to replace the talented players that they lost. Ole Miss is on the decline right now, and while they are currently 2-1 on the season, their two wins came against far inferior teams. Their first big test came a couple of weeks ago against Cal, a game that Ole Miss ended up losing 27-16. They have now failed to cover the spread in 5 straight games, so you really wonder if they are going to be able to hang with a team as good as the Alabama Crimson Tide. The Rebels have won just 2 of their last 13 meetings with Alabama, and just 1 out of 11 when playing the Crimson Tide in Tuscaloosa. That said, they are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 road games versus this weekend’s opponent.Team Statistics
