The Alabama vs. FSU Week 1 betting line for the 2017 regular season opened at Noles +5.5. For LIVE ODDS on the Alabama-FSU Week 1 game go here.
This will be one of the most anticipated games of the season and it just happens to be taking place the first week, a rarity to be certain.
BMAInsider.com took an early look at Alabama’s pass game vs. Florida State’s pass defense:
Florida State definitely has the weapons to win this battle. The Seminoles are incredibly experienced on the back end, and they have a number of five-star talents throughout the depth chart. They also have the added benefit of playing behind what should be a dynamic pass rush.
The challenge will become daunting for the ‘Noles only if Alabama’s running game gets going. As long as FSU’s front-seven can hang with the Tide on the ground, the pass defense should be fine. The key will not getting beat frequently with misdirection or play-action. (SEC Offensive Player of the Year in Jalen) Hurts will only beat the Seminoles through the air if receivers are running wide open, and that shouldn’t happen given FSU’s depth of experience.
Kyle Henderson and Warchant's Ira Schoffel take a look at what Jalen Hurts and the Tide will have to do to have success against Florida State's highly touted secondary.
This game will take place at the New Atlanta Stadium on September 2.
