Oddsmakers are continuing to engage in this fantasy about whether or not Alabama could beat an NFL team.

Earlier, a line of +28.5 was set if the Tide played Buffalo. That’s obviously insane. The Bills destroyed the Jets this past week. So, I thought this would come to an end. If the Bills can blowout other teams in the NFL, I’m pretty damn confident they’d beat Alabama by more than four touchdowns.

Well, apparently people just can’t get enough because now lines for games against New England and Oakland have been released at +49.5 and +31.5 respectively.

When can we end this nonsense? Alabama couldn’t hang with any team in the NFL, especially one like the Patriots. Again, some idiots actually thought they’d be able to play with Buffalo, who demolished a team full of other pros this weekend. How do you think a bunch of college kids would do? (RELATED: The Latest College Football AP Poll Is Here. Do You Agree With Number Three?)

They’d get run right off the field. We really need to stop entertaining this fantasy. Nick Saban might have built a powerhouse down in Tuscaloosa, but they wouldn’t have a prayer against any pro squad.

I’ll even take it one step further. I don’t think they’d hang with the backups. Get as mad as you want, Alabama fans. You know deep down that I’m correct.
