Alabama opens as massive betting favorite in Week 3 vs. Wisconsin
Published:
Alabama is a huge favorite in Week 3 as it hosts Wisconsin in a high-profile matchup.
Circa Sportsbook unveiled its opening lines for next weekend on Sunday afternoon. The Crimson Tide have been priced as 19-point favorites against Wisconsin, per Circa. The total has been set at 47.5 points.
Here’s a look at the full slate of opening college football odds for Week 3:
Alabama will be looking for its first power-conference win of the season on Saturday. Kalen DeBoer and Co. bounced back from its disappointing Week 1 loss to Florida State on Saturday with a blowout win over Louisiana-Monroe.
Last season, Alabama went to Madison in the first high-profile road game of the DeBoer era and won 42-10. Now, Wisconsin will make the return trip to Tuscaloosa.
Alabama has famously struggled as significant favorites under DeBoer so far. The Tide have lost 4 games as double-digit favorites away from home since the start of the 2024 season. However, all of those losses came away from Tuscaloosa. Alabama has been solid on its home field under DeBoer. As a favorite of 10 or more at home since the start of last season, Alabama is 6-0 straight up and 4-2 against the spread.
Kickoff is set for 12 p.m. ET on Saturday afternoon. The game will be broadcast on ABC.
