What do y’all think of Bama-6.5 hosting Texas?

I think Saban is going to play to humiliate.

Bama 38 Texas 14

They don't have Bryce to bail them out this year. 28-14 Texas.

I think they have already regressed over last couple of years, albeit from a high standard to what is still an above average mean comparatively to others.

That said, it is a very good team coming back.

All depends on how the talent gels and the team leadership that steps up around that talent.

I like the 2 coord hires. Simplifying things on defense and getting back to physicality, aggressiveness and accountability that is expected under Steele stands to be a huge move forward.

Not overly concerned about QB. They do not need a world beater. They just need a game manager that plays smart and takes what is given.

Getting a scrimmage game week 1 has more pros than cons in this type of turnover year. I expect the team to be ready and environment to be electric given the game last year in Texas and the 2025 addition of the Longhorns to the SEC.

Sark will have a great game plan, but Bama covers 6.5 over 4 qtrs.

34-24 Bama.

BAMA will cover.

We were +20 on the line last year and we will be +20 this year as well.

Texas 34, Bama 21

Good point though he was definitely referring to how would our defense stand up to their offense if they just take a power approach and run the ball?

I think Bama wins by 17 plus.

I think it says a great deal about national perception right now. Those lines were double digits playing similar teams in neutral settings just a few years ago.
