Although Utah is for real (and the Mountain West Conference also proved that they were for real this year)...

I have to think that Alabama is going to be on fire for this game.

Point spread has Alabama winning by 11, but remember... Utah is next to Nevada... and a point spread is meant to get "even action" on a game. Equal bets on both sides of a game. Alabama is probably more of a 17 point fave.

My take? If Utah is close halfway through the third quarter... watch out. They are amazingly cool under fire. If not, Alabama should be able to have this locked up by half-time.
