![]() The Texas Longhorns and the Alabama Crimson Tide will both be gunning for a victory when they meet in 2010 BCS Championship odds. College football odds makers currently have the Crimson Tide listed as 4.5-point favorites against the Longhorns for the 2010 BCS Championship. Colt McCoy ran for the only touchdown of the night as Texas defeated the Nebraska Cornhuskers 13-12 in week 14 college football odds. Texas failed to cover the 14-point spread while the 25-points went UNDER the posted total of 47 at online sportsbooks. Hunter Lawrence booted two field goals for Texas including the 46-yard game winner as time expired to position the Longhorns into the 2010 BCS Championship against Alabama on January 7th, 2010 on ABC. "When I saw everyone rushing the field, I thought, 'No way. We have 1 or 2 seconds left,'" McCoy said after the game. "I was just trying to get Hunter back in the middle." Heading into BCS Championship odds, Texas is 13-0 straight up, 5-7-1 against the spread and 5-2 when playing in January. Alabama beat the Florida Gators 32-13 in the SEC championship game at the Georgia Dome in week 14. Alabama covered as a 5.5-point underdog in college football odds while the final score played OVER the 41-point total at online sportsbooks. Tim Tebow left the field crying after the Alabama offense ran up and down the field on Florida. "It's tough. You know it's not how you want to go out," Tebow said after the game. "They were just better than us today." Crimson Tide running back Mark Ingram carried the ball 28 times for 113-yards with three touchdowns in the win. Heading into the 2010 BCS Championship, Alabama is 13-0 straight up, 8-5 against the spread as a favorite and 10-0 when playing on grass. Bower's College Football Picks: Man oh man is this BCS Championship going to be a good one. Texas is 5-0 straight up in their last five and guess what... the Crimson Tide are 5-0 in their last five. The Longhorns are 10-0 on grass and you guessed it, Alabama is 10-0 on grass. I am going to have to go with experience since Texas has better betting trends most recently when playing in January. My college football pick in 2010 BCS Championship odds is to take the Longhorns plus the points against the Crimson Tide to the OVER. Vegas odds at Caesars sportsbook have the Alabama Crimson Tide -4.5 favorites in college football odds against the Texas Longhorns with a total of 45. |
