NCAA Football Odds – Crimson Tide Still Believe Heading in To Massive SEC Clash Saturday
Despite a loss to South Carolina State that ended their undefeated run in the top spot of the SEC Standings, number-five Alabama still feels as though they are capable of catching one of the two spots available for this year’s BCS title game. While Oregon and Auburn remain locked in for first and second in the rankings, many of the other teams that are considered contenders for the championship also have one loss, and the Crimson Tide still have their season finale against Auburn to look forward to.Alabama Crimson Tide @ LSU Tigers
Saturday November 6, 2010 – 3:30 PM ET
Tiger Stadium, Baton Rouge, California
Online Sports Betting Odds: Alabama – 6.5
The situation is only a bit different for LSU than it is Alabama, as the Tigers also head in to week 10 of the college football betting season with just one loss. Both the Crimson Tide and LSU are 7-1 overall this year, including 4-1 in the conference, setting the stage for a massive SEC showdown this Saturday.
NCAA Football Betting Preview: Alabama
A trip to LSU opens a stretch against three top-20 ranked opponents in the next four games for Alabama, including number-20 Mississippi State a week from Saturday and the season finale against Auburn. The nation’s second-ranked defense and a well balanced offense has the Crimson Tide still in contention for a spot in the BCS title game, but head coach Nick Saban will have to make sure his team sweeps through the remainder of its schedule to have any chance. Despite that last weekend was their bye, Alabama gained a little recognition in the standings with Michigan State and Missouri both losing on the road, but it is now up to running back Mark Ingram and company to finish what they’ve started in a crucial road game.
NCAA Football Betting Preview: LSU
The only defense in the country that is ranked ahead of the Crimson Tide belongs to LSU. Tigers’ head coach Les Miles has his team playing some of its best football since he joined the school, as illustrated by seven straight wins to open the season. That run came to an end however when LSU lost to Auburn 24-7 at home two weeks ago, and it will be hard for the school to recover in time to post a legitimate title game pledge. Like Alabama, the Tigers will be coming off an extra week of rest due to their bye.
The Match Up: Alabama @ LSU
This SEC showdown will be a clash of the top two defenses in the country, as a pair of 7-1 teams meet at Baton Rouge. The Crimson Tide have worked their way back in to contention to defend their national title, and will now control their own destiny. Meanwhile, LSU will have a lot more work to do with Alabama and number-18 Arkansas the only ranked opponents left on their pay per head schedule. The Crimson Tide are a focused, talented group, and will show everyone why they are so underrated this weekend.

NFL Betting Preview for November 7, 2010: Arizona Cardinals vs. Minnesota Vikings (-9)
Betting Overview: The Minnesota Vikings (2-5) are watching their playoff hopes slip away as their hall of fame quarterback gets beat up on a regular basis and their wide receivers cannot seem to stay healthy either. For some reason, the football betting experts are still on the Vikings Super Bowl bandwagon. But that wagon may get derailed if the Vikings lose to the Cardinals.
The Arizona Cardinals (3-4) are a different story. The NFL picks for the NFC West were all over the map before the season started as the division was seen as the weakest in football. The Cardinals are still in there swinging to win the division, and at 3-4 they are only one win away from divisional leaders St. Louis and Seattle.
Offense:
Quarterback Derek Anderson is back under center for the Cardinals as rookie Max Hall still tries to shake the effects of a week seven concussion. Anderson performed about as expected in week eight against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. His inability to throw the underneath ball cost the Cardinals the game as Anderson was picked on the last drive of the contest. Max Hall may be back under center this week, and that could be a great relief for the Cardinals.
The Vikings have watched their 41-year-old quarterback Brett Favre get beat up and knocked down all season long. Favre’s most recent problems came in the week eight loss to the New England Patriots when Favre received a helmet hit to the chin. His chin was bleeding, but that is not the main concern. Once x-rays came back negative for a fractured jaw, the tests for a concussion began. What people seem to forget is if Favre cannot go, back up Tavaris Jackson is more than capable.
Defense:
Defense is where the Vikings are supposed to excel, but they do not. Minnesota’s defense is ranked 12th overall allowing an average of 316 yards per game. Most notable is the absence of Jared Allen. Last year Allen had 14.5 sacks. After 7 games this season he only has one. Allen’s inability to get to the quarterback sums up the Vikings problems on defense; everyone is underachieving.
The Cardinals struggle on defense, but they struggle the most against the run. Arizona’s rush defense is ranked 29th in the league at 143 yards per game allowed. If Favre cannot play in this game, do not expect Tavaris Jackson to just hand the ball off to Adrian Peterson all day long. However, Tavaris Jackson is a running quarterback that could be a big problem for the Arizona defense.
The Bottom Line:
This will be an interesting game to watch. Will the Vikings allow Peterson to exploit the weak Arizona run defense? In the end, it could be the ego of the Minnesota quarterback and offensive coordinator that could lose this game for them. But it is unlikely that the Cardinals offense will be able to pick up on the short-comings of the Minnesota defense.
BSN Sports Pick: Minnesota Vikings 35-10
