By Nathan Beighle,

The Alabama Crimson Tide welcome the Western Kentucky Hilltoppers to Bryant–Denny Stadium Saturday for the season-opening game for both programs. Kickoff is set for 7 p.m. ET (Fubo). Below, we look at Western Kentucky vs. Alabama odds from FanDuel Sportsbook before making our expert college football picks and predictions later in the week.
Alabama is No. 5 in the US LBM Coaches Poll. The main change in Tuscaloosa this season is the addition of Kalen DeBoer, who is taking over from the infamous Nick Saban. DeBoer led Washington to the CFP title game last season. The Crimson Tide will again be led by QB Jalen Milroe, who had 2,834 passing yards and 35 total TDs last season.
While Western Kentucky will enter unranked, it did have a solid season a year ago. It finished 8-5 with a 5-3 record in Conference USA. The Hilltoppers will have an extremely experienced side, adding 6 junior and senior transfers. They will be led by 6-foot-7 Texas State transfer QB TJ Finley, who went for 3,439 passing yards and 24 TDs last season.
