TUSCALOOSA, Ala. – Florida State’s spread against Alabama has climbed back to 19.5 points at BetOnline after bottoming out at 18 Thursday morning. Florida State beat Alabama 31-17 in Tallahassee last year as a massive underdog.
The Number’s Round Trip
BetOnline had Alabama as a 20.5-point favorite Monday, trimmed the line to 20 by Wednesday morning and 19.5 by Wednesday night, then kept cutting into Thursday morning, bottoming out at 18 before climbing back to 19 by Thursday afternoon.
Bovada’s board, last updated Friday morning, carries the spread a half-point higher still at 19.5, with Alabama’s price there up to -120 from -115 – a sign of continued demand on the favorite across the top sites for legal sports betting.
| Bet | Alabama (home) | Florida State |
|---|---|---|
| Moneyline | -1400 | +750 |
| Spread | -19.5 (-120) | +19.5 (-110) |
| Total | Over 49 (-130) | Under 49 (+100) |
Records Behind The Gap
Alabama is unbeaten at 2-0 and hosts in Tuscaloosa, while Florida State arrives 1-1 for the Week 2 trip. The moneyline prices that gap even more steeply: Alabama reached -1400 at BetOnline Friday morning, up from -1300, making the Seminoles a heavy road underdog on a loaded Saturday slate for legal college football betting.
What The Bounce Means For Florida State
The rebound off Thursday’s low cuts both ways. BetOnline’s number climbing back to 19 while Bovada charges more for the same 19.5 points to money landing on Alabama this week, not underdog support holding the line down. For anyone still shopping the game, the widest cushion available is Bovada’s 19.5, a point and a half more than the 18 BetOnline briefly showed Thursday morning.
Bovada’s total has moved the same direction, holding at 49 while the over climbed to -130 from -125 – a sign the board still expects scoring from both sides rather than a running clock. Kickoff is set for 2:30 p.m. CT Saturday, with every number on the game likely to move again before then.
