The Alabama Crimson Tide football team was getting just shy of 80 percent of the overall betting action in their game against Penn State on Saturday night (game time goes off 7 pm EST).  The Crimson Tide were -14 point home favorites vs. Penn State at Bookmaker.com (see odds here). 

The line opened at -11 and has moved all the way up to -14 at press time Saturday afternoon.  It’s a strong indication that the oddsmakers believe Alabama can cover in this one.

The Nittany Lions are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games following a S.U. win.

The Nittany Lions are 5-1 ATS vs. a team with a winning record.

The Crimson Tide are 13-6 ATS in their last 19 games following a S.U. win.

The Scouts Inc. Edge says:

Look for the Nittany Lions' defense to keep this one close early on by causing fits along the line of scrimmage. Add in Ingram's absence, and the Tide will struggle to get the ground attack going early on, which will disrupt the overall flow of the offense. However, this game ultimately will be decided on the other side of the ball. Watch for youth and inexperience to catch up with Bolden against Nick Saban's complicated and disciplined defense. This will lead to a few costly turnovers that set Alabama up with great field position. Richardson will finally break free with a few late runs in the fourth quarter to put this one out of reach, but the outcome will be closer than the final score indicates.

Likewise, Gambling911.com feels relatively confident in the Alabama Crimson Tide football side here.
