Sportsbook Website – Heisman Winner Will Play on Saturday for Alabama. We finally get to see reigning Heisman Trophy winner Mark Ingram on Saturday and he could help the Crimson Tide cover the odds at the sportsbook website in their game vs. Duke. The Crimson Tide is already very good and they figure to get even better with Ingram returning to the lineup. Depth is a factor when a team is laying big points so Alabama is worth a look against the sportsbook company odds with Ingram back.
Alabama is a 24 point favorite in college football odds at Sbg. You get the chance to watch this game since it is one of the regional games on ABC. Ingram missed the first two weeks of the season as he recovered from a knee injury. The Tide has not missed a beat without him as Trent Richardson is averaging 6.6 yards per carry. Head coach Nick Saban has not even said whether or not Ingram will get the start ahead of Richardson on Saturday. It is nice problem to have when you can bring the Heisman winner off the bench. Saban has said that Ingram did not lose his starting job because he got hurt.
Letdown Spot – The Tide are in a letdown spot. There is simply no way around it. They played Penn State last week on national TV and now they face Duke. What a letdown that could be. The Tide then has a huge game coming up against 12th-ranked Arkansas. Can you say sandwich game? Does that mean you should bet Duke at the sportsbook company? The answer is probably not. Alabama is so talented that they may be able to cover the point spread simply because they have too much for Duke.
Ingram’s Return Helps – If you are looking at betting Alabama this week at the sportsbook website then the return of Ingram helps your cause. We mentioned the letdown spot already but with Ingram getting his first action it won’t be as bad. Ingram will want to play well in his first game and players will be excited he is back in the lineup. And don’t forget that Alabama is already 2-0 against the spread this season when laying big points. They are capable of winning and covering again, even in a letdown spot.
