The hottest college football team in the nation has to be the No. 4 Alabama Crimson Tide (5-0 SU, 4-1 ATS). They’re rocketing up the charts after rolling through Arkansas (-8) and Georgia (+6.5) on the road. Nick Saban has turned this team around much more quickly than expected. He took them to the Independence Bowl last year after leaving the Miami Dolphins and drawing the ire of the press. Now the Tide are pointed at the BCS title game.

That isn’t keeping people from betting on the Kentucky Wildcats as 16-point underdogs in Saturday’s matchup at Bryant-Denny Stadium. Kentucky is playing very good football at 4-0 SU (2-1 ATS), including a 27-2 upset of Louisville (-3.5) to start the season. The Wildcats are doing it the boring way with defense and running. Alabama certainly has the talent to win, but covering a big spread in these conditions is difficult. Get all your NCAA College Football Odds in the Bodog Sportsbook today!
