I don't think he'll pick Bama games. You know how ESPN doesn't let Kirk pick games that he's calling? Well, based on Saban's continued access to the Bama program, I imagine they won't allow him to pick Bama games so as to not create any issues in Vegas.
This is one thing that I just don't get. Herbstreit picking a team to win or lose that he is calling has zero bearing on the actual game.
I get trying to appear neutral, but come on.

They're probably guarding against the appearance of using inside information. The broadcast team does interviews with both staffs during the week. I'm sure some coaches give them stuff that's not to be used before the game - "we noticed something about their punt protection packages and we've got something prepared to exploit it" "both our starting CBs are more banged up than we have let on" - that type of thing.
