Seven schools sit as legitimate contenders for berths in the four-team College Football Playoff as of Week 13 of the slate, and six of them will be in action on Saturday as big favorites on the college football odds.
And that includes No. 1 Alabama, which will be a huge favorite at home against Western Carolina for Saturday once the sportsbooks decide on a line for that mismatch. The Crimson Tide head into their gimme game at 9-1 SU but just 2-7-1 ATS on the season, recording a huge 25-20 win over Mississippi State last time out.
