When in doubt, check with Vegas.
Is the star running back injured, or is your coach just exercising a bit gamesmanship and calling him daily? Is the point protector poised for a big game, or did he have a bit too much fun last night from home? Vegas does not always understand, however, the handicappers can oftentimes be a great guide to the reality.
Those trusty betting lines may teach us things if we’re paying attention. What can Vegas teach us around Alabama?
Well, if you have been paying attention to college football, then you understand Alabama coach Nick Saban has played with his starting quarterback position near the vest. Initially he would not name a rookie, and today he is dividing time between Tua Tagovailoa and Jalen Hurts. Why? It is not from the graciousness of heart.
Saban has two great quarterbacks, and he wants every edge over his enemies. Why allow Ole Miss to prepare for just 1 quarterback this weekend when he can make the Land Sharks prepare two?
Is Tagovailoa and Hurts really going to continue to divide time now that SEC play has started? Vegas thinks it knows the answer, and also the handicappers are in on Tua. Earlier this week, the Heisman stocks created Tagovailoa the obvious favorite for the award, shrinking his likelihood of winning it to 3-to-1.
He is now the odds-on preferred to win it, which is a pretty good indication that Ole Miss is about to get a large dose of this Tua Show on Saturday at Oxford. You understand who proceeds to fail at putting on a display? Joe.
