The SEC Championship Game opened in Vegas as a three-possession game.
Depending on your favorite sports book along The Strip, your odds are Alabama minus-16.5 to minus-17.5. But the way Florida’s offense played last week, the Tide may only need two touchdowns and a field goal to cover the low end of those numbers.
That’s the widest margin of any conference championship game Saturday, of which there are eight.
The smallest: Michigan State-Iowa. Those two teams certainly are playing a winner-take-all game to secure a spot in the College Football Playoff, potentially against the Crimson Tide. So Bama fans may want to watch that one closely.
Here are the rest of the conference championship game odds.
