It’s hard to separate this new territory for Alabama from first-year head coach Kalen DeBoer, as the last time the Tide were underdogs at home was also under a new coach: Nick Saban. According to Sportsbook Reviews archive, Alabama was a home dog in 2007 when it beat Tennessee 41-17. After that, Saban was never doubted in Tuscaloosa again.
Alabama also won its last game as a road underdog, beating none other than Georgia by a score of 38-10 on its way to the 2015 national championship.
