Alabama’s conference schedule begins tomorrow against undefeated Oklahoma, which is the start of a stretch that features four ranked opponents in the next five games. deskgameBacking the Ravens' super-charged offense may seem like the obvious play, but betting trends suggest otherwise. The Steelers are a league-best 7-2 against the spread (ATS), per TeamRankings. deskgameThe fifth-ranked Crimson Tide started the season with a tough non-conference schedule and cruised to an 11-2 record.
