Alabama will crush them.

How often do you see a -17 line between #1 and #6?

Other top 10 matchup lines this season:

#4 Michigan (-7) vs #8 Wisky
#2 Ohio State (-10) vs #10 Wisky
#3 Louisville (-1) vs #6 Clemson

Hell, #8 Texas A&M was -8 vs #9 UT.

Vegas knows that's going to be a slaughter.

Ridiculous that anyone is -17 against a legit top 10 team. There are maybe 2 teams that would be single digit dogs at Bama.

A&M is close to 100% health and has a OC that knows what the frick he's doing. As good as Bama is, A&M +17 is EASY money.

Alabama was just a 14-point favorite against a top 10 team on the road.

I made a thread about this last night.
A little search can go a long way

I think there's a big home factor at play. So far Bama has played Kentucky, Kent St. and WKU at home. Bama fans are itching for a big game.


That being said, there's no way Alabama wins this game by more than 17. Max I would say is 14, but IMO the game will be decided by a TD or less.

ATM can actually pass the ball sometimes. We only truly dominate teams that can't (USC, UT).

forget all the horseshite with so many idiots from every fanbase represented here...

That line with A&M being 6-0 #6 ranked team. Everyone is a Bama bitch unfortunately.

You sir would be correct....had this game been scheduled to be played at College Station.

Barring a natural disaster (hope there isn't one) and A&M pulling an LSU and crying loud enough to get an extra SEC home game, A&M will probably lose by 21. Truth hurts, but I can take comfort in knowing that any other team playing Bama RIGHT NOW would also get blown out. Nick Saban just has this team playing near perfect football on defense. Better than any other team has ever played in the SEC.

Are you suggesting that the spread is too high, or that aTm is overrated?

FIFY

For them to be -17 against #6 who plays in the SECw is a different story.

I actually would bet on A&M. Not to win but to cover -17. Bama is due for a close one

Frick A&M, but they have a legitimate and balanced team this year. They may have the best shot of anyone out there to beat Bama. Also Bama played flawlessly last week, even with Saban coaching, they are due for at least some letdown.

A&M and the money line is tempting.

I think they have a legit shot to win

They'll be favored by about 6 against LSU. If we take care of Ole Miss, place will be Lit. No chavis to play prevent defense either
