Oddsmakers favor Alabama to win less than 10 games

Oddsmakers are favoring Alabama to do something this season it's only done once during Nick Saban's tenure.

Westgate is favoring the Crimson Tide to win less than 10 games this year, something they last did in 2010. Of course, this does not count the SEC title game or playoff, so that means Bama would have to lose three times in the regular season.

Perhaps the reason for doubt in this year's Alabama team is its tough non-conference schedule. Saban's crew has to deal with USC and Western Carolina in 2016 before meeting regular challenging SEC foes like LSU and Ole Miss.

It should be noted, though, that only Clemson and Boise State were favored for more than 10 victories.
