I'm normally for showing class and taking the knee. And only had Bama in moneyline parlays and team total for 1st Half(not ATS), but yes Saban hosed Tide fan gamblers.

With Riley inheriting one of college football's elite natty title contenders, albeit one usually put in it's place come Playoffs, by scoring 50+, Tide backers would've scored the ATS win, plus Bama exceed it's game team total..

More importantly it would've sent the message that the Big12 plays limited D, and help discourage recruits into thinking that OU/UT,etc..are within true striking distance again. As both have great young HCs to sell bright futures to their states/fanbases/recruits.

Style points and narratives matter(right or wrong), and play roles. Which is why the 6X Natty HC took a knee and moved onto Clem Part IV, and why Riley is giving sell job of a double-digit defeat after trailing 28 zip from jump street.
