Sports betting fans have to respect the Utah Utes. It wasn’t but a few years ago when the Utes had Alex Smith at quarterback and Urban Meyer calling the plays. Smith went to the San Francisco 49’ers and Meyer ended up coaching the Florida Gators. But the Utes have kept movin’ on, as Sam Cooke sang, winning games at a blistering pace.
Alabama spent a good chunk of the season ranked No. 1 in the country, but lost when it mattered most in the SEC title game. That loss sent the Crimson Tide to the Louisiana Superdome for the Sugar Bowl where they will face the tough Utah Utes. It’s No. 4 Bama against unbeaten No. 7 Utah.
Oddsmakers currently have the Crimson Tide listed as 9½-point favorites versus the Utes, while the game’s total is sitting at 45½.
