No. 8 Alabama vs Auburn Odds

• Opening point spread: Alabama -14.5
• Opening moneyline: Alabama -450/Auburn +340
• Opening total: Over/Under 49 points scored
• Time: 3:30 p.m. ET Saturday (CBS)

UPDATE 3 P.M. ET SATURDAY: Thirty minutes pre-kick, the Crimson Tide are laying 13.5 points at BetMGM. Alabama opened -14.5 and initially bumped up to -15.5 Monday, then quickly returned to -14.5. On Thursday, the Tide receded to -13.5.

Still, earlier today, it was all 'Bama, at 83% of spread bets/96% of spread money. The latest splits aren't available, but listening to BetMGM trader Seamus Magee, not much has changed.

"Auburn is a big need for us on the spread," Magee said as kickoff approached.

BetMGM's total opened at 49, went to 48.5 Wednesday and 47.5 for a few hours Thursday. It then rebounded to 48, but this afternoon returned to 47.5. Earlier today, tickets were 2/1 on the Over, while money was 2/1 on the Under.

UPDATE 3 P.M. ET FRIDAY: DraftKings' college football Week 13 odds board opened 'Bama -14.5 and stuck there most of the week. On Thursday, there were two downward moves within a few minutes, to Alabama -14/-13.5.

That noted, spread bettors are on the Crimson Tide, to the tune of 6/1 tickets and 3/1 money.

The total dipped from 49 to 48.5 Monday, then to 47.5 Thursday, where it remains now. Betting splits are quite disparate, with tickets 9/1 on the Over and money 2/1 on the Under.

UPDATE 8:30 P.M. ET MONDAY: Alabama (10-1 SU/8-3 ATS) heads to the Iron Bowl on a 9-0 SU/7-2 ATS roll. In Week 12, the Crimson Tide ostensibly got a bye against FCS foe Chattanooga and cruised 66-10 giving 44.5 points.

Auburn (6-5 SU/5-6 ATS) would love nothing more than to crush its archrival's CFP hopes. But this is a Tigers team coming off a shocking nonconference home loss to New Mexico State. Auburn never led, getting shut down 31-10 as hefty 25.5-point chalk.

Alabama is up a half-point to -15 on TwinSpires' college football Week 13 odds board. Ticket count is 5/1 and money 3/1 Crimson Tide in the early going.

"It's all Alabama so far. I don't expect that to change much," Lucas said.

The total hasn't moved off 49, with 62% of tickets/60% of cash on the Over.
