2025 Alabama Crimson Tide vs Vanderbilt Commodores Opening Odds: Cover or Not?

Alabama is coming off a solid road win over the Georgia Bulldogs and look like they may have righted the ship after the fiasco against Florida State to begin the season. The Crimson Tide now awaits the arrival of the high-scoring Commodores (5-0).

Earlier this summer, FanDuel clocked Bama in as a 22.5 point favorite. However after seeing Diego Pavia’s ‘Dores lighting up scoreboards, the spread has tightened somewhat. FanDuel released their new opening odds and for a few brief moments, it was Alabama favored by 13.5. However this morning, it was the Tide by 9.5 and now, as of post, it is Bama -10.5 with an Over/Under of 56.5.

VANDERBILT

VU is fourth in the nation in scoring with an average of 49.0 points per game. Their low of the season was 31 in a rout of South Carolina.
