The early line for the November 9 showdown between the country’s\u00a0\u200btop-ranked\u00a0teams has Alabama pegged as\u00a0\u200bmore than a touchdown\u00a0favorite against LSU.\u00a0\u200b\u200b<\/p>\n
The AP Poll has LSU and Alabama listed at No. 1 and 2, respectively, but in the latest CFP odds from SportsBetting<\/a> has LSU has the fourth-best odds to take home the national championship behind Bama, Clemson and Ohio State.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u200bOn October 10, the Tigers were +9.5 on a neutral field against Alabama in a potential CFP matchup so they have\u00a0certainly climbed in the oddsmakers’ power ratings\u200b the last few weeks\u200b.\u200b However, the unknown status of Tua\u200b\u00a0Tagovailoa\u200b has the book being cautious \u200bwith the spread.<\/p>\n “We kind of middled the line not knowing if Tua is going to be out there or not,” said Adam Burns, oddsmaker at SportsBetting<\/a> “If he plays, the spread will get to or around -10. If he doesn’t, look for it to settle around -7. He’s worth 3-4 points to the number.”<\/p>\n \u200bIn the other battle of unbeatens on Nov. 9 that are idle this week, Penn State\u200b is listed as a 6.5-point favorite against the surprising Gophers.\u00a0<\/p>\n Oklahoma took a hit across all futures markets following its loss to Kansas State. The Sooners’ CFP odds went from 6\/1 to 20\/1, and their chances of qualifying to the four-team playoff went from -200 that they would\u200b advance\u200b\u00a0to +250 currently.\u00a0<\/p>\n Also, these latest title odds for the Crimson Tide (+275) mark the first time all season that they have been the sole favorite. Alabama and Clemson have been co-favorites a few times this year, but this is the first time Bama has had the outright best odds.\u00a0<\/p>\n View Yes\/No odds to make CFP (14 teams):\u00a0<\/p>\n
