Alabama football is a 13.5-point favorite ahead of the Crimson Tide’s season-opener against Florida State in Tallahassee, Florida on Aug. 30, according to FanDuel Sports Book and BetMGM.
Kalen DeBoer and the Tide are coming off a 9-4 season with high expectations. Alabama returns multiple players with experience on both sides of the football. But there are also some new faces expected to take on major roles for the Tide in 2025, including Ty Simpson, who will be a first-year starter at quarterback.
Florida State has revamped its roster and coaching staff after going 2-10 in 2024.
The game is set to kick off at 2:30 p.m. CST. It will be broadcast live on ESPN.
