Developed by Walter Camp (who introduced many innovations that are part of the modern game of American football), it replaced a contested scrimmage that had descended from the game's rugby roots. This uncontested line of scrimmage would set into motion many more rules that led to the formation of the modern form of gridiron football.

No. 1 Alabama will square off with No. 7 Florida in a battle of cross-division rivals in the SEC Championship Game on Saturday night in Atlanta. It'll be the 10th time that the Crimson Tide and Gators will meet in the conference championship game since 1992.

Alabama is coming off of an emphatic win over Arkansas, and hopes to polish off a perfect season and cruise into the College Football Playoff. The college football world got a December surprise last week when Florida fell at home to an LSU team that not only has had a miserable season, but was playing with a roster decimated by injuries, positive COVID-19 tests and contact tracing. As a result, this game will not serve as a de facto national quarterfinal for the first time since 2016. That is, of course, unless Florida gets an emphatic win and chaos occurs all over the college football landscape.

Let's break down the game and make picks straight up and against the spread.

Storylines

Alabama: It's nearly impossible to find a weakness on this Crimson Tide team. They boast three, that's right, THREE Heisman Trophy candidates in quarterback Mac Jones, wide receiver DeVonta Smith and running back Najee Harris. The offensive line was recently named as a semifinalist for the Joe Moore Award, which is given to the nation's top offensive line. The defense, which was a bit of a concern early this season, has given up just 4.09 yards per play and 270 yards per game during the month of December.

The only question facing the Tide heading into this game is if their three Heisman candidates will steal each other's votes and allow a player from another team to win the sport's most prestigious individual award. After all, coach Nick Saban's crew could get blown out by the Gators and would probably still make the CFP.

Florida: Last weekend had to be one of the most demoralizing losses in Florida history. Anything that could go wrong did, from Marco Wilson's shoe toss to the longest field goal in LSU history in a blinding fog. It's absolutely critical that the Gators hit the reset button and focus on what former coach Steve Spurrier used to call a 'ring game.'

If they're going to win that ring, it'll be on quarterback Kyle Trask to get the job done. The Gators' offensive line is a mess and they haven't been able to get the ground game going all season. Trask has been awesome, but that has been by necessity, not choice.

Alabama vs. Florida prediction, picks

Not only is Alabama going to beat Florida, it's going to beat it like a drum. I'm talking about the victory lap of all victory laps. Florida was going to have an issue anyway considering the best way to slow down the Tide offense is to have a strong running game, which would keep Mac Jones. and Co. on the sideline. Florida isn't that team. Throw in the hangover from the LSU loss, and this is going to get ugly. Pick: Alabama (-17)

What a ride it was for the 2020 Washington Football Team; a new name, a new team president, a new head coach, and a new chapter was in store. However, reports of malfunction and abuse littered their season and owner Dan Snyder, leading them to a 7-9 season finish. Thanks to a horrid NFC East, 7-9 was just good enough for the Football Team to secure a berth in the NFC Playoffs. Washington was the one that didn’t belong in the NFC Playoffs and were treated as such– they were eliminated in the first round despite an inspired day from Taylor Heinicke.

Now, it’s onto the offseason where the Football Team is poised to lose several veterans. Linebacker Thomas Davis announced his retirement following their loss and longtime Washington players Ryan Kerrigan is a looming free agent. While this offseason might be a mass exodus of the familiar players in burgundy and gold, there’s young pieces like Antonio Gibson and Terry McLaurin that put them in a good place moving forward.

The defensive front is also mostly here to stay, led by rookie Chase Young and sophomore Montez Sweat. For the first time in forever, the future may be bright in DC.

Washington prop bets

Prop bets are based on individual performance, typically surrounding players. Terry McLaurin was a popular target for prop betting this past year along with running backs J.D. McKissic and Antonio Gibson. For example, McLaurin’s projected receiving total in Washington’s Week 11 matchup with the Cincinnati Bengals was 67.5 yards. Those who thought he would haul in 68 or more yards would bet the over while those who thought he would record 67 or less yards would bet the under. McLaurin pulled in 84 yards that game, giving those who bet the over a win.

Washington futures odds

Futures are long-term bets that can range from an offseason to a full season (or beyond). Team win totals, award winners, and player performance are common futures. For example:

2020 Odds to win NFL DROY

• Chase Young -110
• Patrick Queen +450
• Kenneth Murray +1000
• Jaylon Johnson +1500

This line for the Defensive Rookie of the Year would often be bet before the season starts. Futures allow for bettors to capitalize on players they think are favorites to win awards long before the odds shift away from their favor. Chase Young opened as the favorite to win the award, but those odds continued to grow toward him as the season went on. He closed at -375, diminishing the return on bets compared to the beginning of the year when he won the award in December.

Washington Super Bowl LVI odds

The Washington Football Team opened with +6000 odds to win Super Bowl LVI. Those odds are third best in the NFC East and in line with teams like the Bengals, Broncos, and Giants.

Washigton NFC East odds

The Washington Football Team won their third NFC East title since 2012 in 2020. However, their odds moving into 2021 are determinant on their quarterback situation.

How to bet on the Washington Football Team

Moneyline

The moneyline is the simplest of bets, decided by the straight-up winner and loser of each game. Consider the following example:

• Washington -185
• Eagles +210

Washington is considered a heavy favorite in this matchup (indicated by -185), requiring a $185 bet to win $100 (plus the initial bet back). The Eagles are the underdog in this matchup, paying out $310 total for a $100 bet ($210 in winnings). How much either team wins or loses by does not matter in moneyline betting, the payout remains the same.

Point spread

Betting on the point spread is determinant on how many points a team wins or loses by. Take the following example:

• Washington -3.5 (-110)
• Broncos +3.5 (-110)

In this example, Washington is favored by 3.5 points, indicated by “-3.5.” If the Football Team wins the game 24-20, Washington (-3.5) wins the bet and would have a total payout of $19.09 on a $10 bet ($9.09 in profit). If the Broncos keep the game within four and lose 27-24, the Broncos (+3.5) would win, and the payout would be the same as listed above.

Point total (over/under)

The point total refers to the over/under line set by books. This number projects the total number of points scored in a game and, like prop betting, is bet whether one thinks the score will go over or under the set point total. For example, Washington’s Week 15 game against the Seattle Seahawks had a projected point total of 41.5 points. The Football Team came up just short 20-15, totaling just 35 points. Those who bet the under in the game would have cashed out.

Washington fielded one of the nastiest front fours in the NFL, often wreaking havoc for opponents. Also, their six annual games against the offense-depleted NFC East caused their projected point totals to often be lower than league average. Aside from games against offensive juggernauts like Cleveland and the Los Angeles Rams, Washington saw over/unders between 43 and 48 points in 2020.

In-play and live betting

Sometimes, the most thrilling and rewarding bets are bets made while games are being played. These are referred to as live bets or in-play bets. Odds are ever-changing during games, which would prove to be fruitful for sharp and prepared bettors. For example, if Washington (-100) was favored against the Raiders (+140) before kickoff, a payout on a $10 bet on the Football Team to win would win $10.

What's The Line On The Nfl Football Games Today

However, say the Football Team fell to a big 17-3 deficit in the first half despite controlling the overall game (due to a costly turnover or special teams gaffe). Odds may swing in favor of the Raiders, who may be a -110 favorite at halftime. Taking Washington to come back and win the game could present plus-odds (say, +130). Should a bettor take Washington (+130) at halftime and the Football Team pulls off the comeback, winners would win $13 instead of $10 (plus the initial $10 bet).

This could also be an effective way to “hedge” your bet; say a bettor took the Raiders (+140) in that game, but Washington jumps out to a 20-0 first quarter lead and is controlling the overall feel of the game, bettors could hedge by throwing some money down on Washington (-270) to return some of the inevitably-lost bet.

Parlays and teasers

You can always string bets together in the form of parlays or teasers. Usually during busy Sundays, bettors can parlay several teams to win or cover against the spread and if all bets are successful, the payouts are multiplied. Teasers function similarly, except they allow bettors to move each point spread to a more favorable line in exchange for diminished odds.

Washington 2020 recap

Record: 7-9

Record ATS: 9-7

Over/under record: 5-11

There’s not a lot fans can complain about after securing a division title and a playoff spot, despite Washington’s 7-9 record. Subpar quarterback play seemed to be the sole factor holding this team back in 2020 despite an array of weapons surrounding Alex Smith and Taylor Hienicke. The pass rush of Washington was one of the best in the league and the young corps of players, led by Defensive Rookie of the Year Chase Young and Montez Sweat, will be looking to replicate their production in 2021.

The record that stands out is their record against the point total in 2020. Their 5-11 mark was tied for second worst in the league, but did prove to be the winning factor in games against San Francisco, Philadelphia, and– most importantly– Pittsburgh. Washington also posted an optimistic 9-7 record against the spread, many of the wins coming during a late-season four-game win streak that ultimately secured the NFC East title.

Washington 2021 offseason moves

What's The Line On The Football Game Sunday

Key free agents: Ryan Kerrigan (EDGE), Ronald Darby (CB), Kevin Pierre-Louis (LB)

Draft pick position needs: QB, OT, WR, CB, S

Longtime Washington player Ryan Kerrigan is set to be a free agent and a pricey one at that. Kerrigan comes with a $23.7 million guaranteed price tag and with such a deep corps of talented pass rushers, it’s expected that the team moves on from him. Ronald Darby will likely be back with the team barring another team outbidding them and Kevin Pierre-Louis will be a priority to be re-signed with the retirement of Thomas Davis.

While they’ve been under the radar in the 2020 offseason quarterback market, it’s worth noting that Washington offered their first round pick to Detroit for Matthew Stafford. Their name has not come up with players like Deshaun Watson, but it’s out there that Washington is being aggressive in pursuit of a quarterback. One intriguing move could come in the draft where Washington packages together a trade to move up– potentially into the top 10 at spots like 7 (currently held by Detroit) to draft a top-four quarterback. Names like North Dakota State’s Trey Lance have emerged in this conversation and, barring the top four quarterbacks being drafted with the first four picks, Washington might just be looking to move up to grab one.
