Title: Alabama has been favored in 51 straight games... Post by: Hannibal Lecter, MD on November 15, 2013, 10:36:41 AM @_DCReeves: Bama has been a favorite in 50 straight games. Saturday is 51. Thatll be the longest streak in CFB since at least '85 http://t.co/75U5kUFFg0
Quote Las Vegas sportsbooks have not listed Alabama's football team as an underdog in 1,440 days. That's 50 games and counting. And come Saturday, No. 51 will mark history. The last time Alabama was an underdog? 1,440 days ago against Florida in the 2009 SEC Championship Game. Alabama's game against LSU marked the 50th consecutive game it had been pegged as a favorite by the betting experts, a run that dates back to December 6, 2009. Alabama will roll on to No. 51 against Mississippi State on Saturday, a game Alabama is favored in by 24.5 points. The 51st straight game as a favorite will surpass Southern Cal's 50-game streak of being favored (2003-07) and is the longest since at least 1985. Since sportsbooks are not in the business of bias, the run - and the rarity of the run - is an accurate gauge for the program's recent dominance.

He used to write a sports column in the Pensacola News Journal. Now, he's the managing editor or something like that for TideSprots. Title: Re: Alabama has been favored in 51 straight games...
