Internet sports betting had the Alabama Crimson Tide favored by just over a touchdown this week as they host LSU in the game of the week in college football. For the Tide to win and cover the offshore sports betting number they need wide receiver Julio Jones to be a factor and score.
Internet sports betting had not seen Jones do a whole lot this season. Before this offshore sports betting season, Jones was thought of as one of the best players in the country. He has had injuries to deal with this Internet sports betting season and his overall play has not been up to his standards. Just a year ago he was a freshman All-American and SEC Freshman of the Year. This year he has been invisible much of the time. “He’s a guy that needs to make plays for us,” said head coach Nick Saban, “He’s got to become a part of the offense for us.”
Alabama’s offense has scored just one touchdown in the last seven quarters as Internet sports betting stats show. Quarterback Greg McElroy hasn’t thrown a touchdown at home since late September. Just how far has Jones fallen in this offense? He has just one touchdown catch in his last 16 offshore sports betting games. Things need to get better for Jones and for Alabama if the Tide is to win this week against LSU in Internet sports betting. It may not be easy considering LSU has a defense that is highly ranked. They also have a star cornerback in Patrick Peterson who could shutdown Jones.
Alabama is 8-0 this season straight up and 5-3 against the Internet sports betting odds. Their defense is the main reason why they have won versus the Internet sports betting odds. The Tide has fourth ranked defense in the country and that is the main reason they win in offshore sports betting. Alabama’s overall offensive numbers are not that bad but they are padded by a soft early season schedule as Internet sports betting notes. Now that they are in the SEC part of the schedule things have become tougher. The Crimson Tide are not doing well throwing the ball as they rank 93rd in the country in passing yards as Internet sports betting statistics indicate. Their offense is running back Mark Ingram who has more than 1,000 yards on the ground as Internet sports betting has it. For Alabama to win a national title they need Jones to produce and score points and impact results in Internet sports betting.
