After being left out of last year's BCS National Championship game in favor of Oklahoma (a team Texas beat by 10 points during the regular season), the Longhorns ran the table this season, won the Big XII Championship, and now have their shot at the title. Alabama also comes into this matchup undefeated, including their 32-13 dismantling of previously #1-ranked Florida in the SEC Championship game.
Alabama opened as a 5.5-point favorite at Pinnacle and, coming off their blowout of Florida, are currently receiving 67% of spread bets. Even though the public is solidly behind the Crimson Tide, the line has shrunk to -3.5 at Pinnacle, suggesting sharp money is coming down on Texas. SportsInsights' Betting Systems agree, triggering eight positive Smart Money Plays on Texas, including one at Cata/VegasVic (+17.26 units), our #1 ranked sportsbook. For the final time this season, we're following the sharps, fading the public and taking the Longhorns and the points.
