NCAA Football Betting – Tigers Aim To Slow Crimson Tide In "Iron Bowl"

Even though NFL betting will be all the rage beginning on Thursday, those still nursing a turkey hangover can work it off with some Iron Bowl betting as Auburn prepares to host No.2 Alabama in the 74th edition of this bitter rivalry. The Crimson Tide are large NCAA football betting favorites in this contest, and they should be able to cover by following the plan which got them here, 

Alabama vs Auburn betting – Friday, November 27, 2:30 PM ET

The Crimson Tide (11-0, 7-0) had no problems with the NCAA football spread in a 45-0 mauling of Chattanooga at home, as most of their first-string players were sitting by halftime. Mark Ingram’s 102 yards led an atatck that ran for 313 yards, and the Heisman candidate also had a pair of touchdowns. The Crimson Tide defense, which is second in the nation, showed no mercy against Chattanooga, allowing 84 yards and forcing three turnovers. This was the sixth time this year that Alabama had held an opponent to seven points or less. 
  

Two weeks ago, the Tigers (7-4, 3-4) fell 31-24 at Georgia behind two picks from Chris Todd, who was 20-of-28 for 238 yards and a pair of touchdowns as well. Ben Tate managed only 67 yards on the ground, and he has just one 100-yard game in his last four games after three in a row. The Tigers also gave up 169 yards on the ground, which isn’t a surprise as Auburn is 88th in the country in run defense.

NCAA football betting odds in your sportsbook are favoring Alabama by 12 points on the road, and last year, they broke a six-game losing skid to their rivals with a 36-0 beatdown in Tuscaloosa. It may not be that bad this year, but the Crimson Tide’s ground game will allow Alabama to control the clock, and the Tigers should have been working on rushing defense during their entire bye week. The week off won’t make a difference as Alabama had a cupcake game. Look for the Crimson Tide to roll right into their SEC title showdown with Florida.

NCAA football picks: Alabama -12

Sports Handicappers Preview of Titans vs. Texans MNF Spread

Here is the official betting preview of the Tennessee Titans and Houston Texans ESPN Monday Night Football. Bodog has Houston laying four points with a total of 48.

The Titans are 3-6 straight up and 4-6 to the number but they’ve won and covered three straight. Houston is 5-4 straight up and 5-3-1 against the spread, but just 1-2 at home versus the sportsbook number.

Houston has gone under the total in 5-of-6. Tennessee has gone over 6-of-8.

The Titans average a remarkable 5.3 yards per rush against teams normally allowing 4.2 but only 5.8 yards per pass to 6.3. However, the winning streak occurred after Vince Young took over for the inept Kerry Collins.

Defensively the Titans are allowing 4.4 yards per rush teams versus teams normally getting 4.2 and 6.0 yards per play to 5.8.

Houston is inept running the ball getting a pedestrian 3.3 yards per rush against teams normally allowing 4.2. However the Texans pass for 7.8 passing yards per attempt against teams normally allowing 6.5 and 5.9 yards per play to 5.5.

They allow 4.6 yards per rush to 4.4, 6.6 yards per pass to 6.4 and 5.8 yards per play to 5.5.

Against the spread records: Tennessee is 9-1 as underdogs of 3.5-10 points but they’ve dropped five straight against teams with a winning record. The Texans are 6-0 off ATS loss. The underdog has covered 9-of-12 in the series.

Over/under angles: Houston has gone over 12-3 off straight up loss and over 8-1 after getting less than 90 yards rushing last game.

Chris Johnson rushed for 132 yards and a pair of scores for the Titans in the win.
