Louisiana Lafayette ranks No. 119 in defense yards per play allowed and Alabama is the No. 1 offense in the country. Tua could have 5 TD passes by halftime and Bama 50-plus points. Nick Saban never calls off the wolves until the second half and by that time it could be already over. Bama -30.5 in the first half looks like a solid play as well.
Inflation has hit these Alabama spreads. Last Saturday, Texas A&M covered a crazy-high line. Now there is one flirting with 50. In the past decade, 15 Crimson Tide games have carried spots of 40 or higher. They have covered in just four. Nick Saban is not one to pour it on. The Tide have registered only two touchdowns in the fourth quarter this season. Lafayette stayed within 14 points of Georgia two seasons ago, so a cover is doable.
