Why do you act like Alabama didn’t beat 6-6 Auburn by 3, 4-8 Arkansas by 3, and 6-6 USF 17-3?

It baffles me.

All season everybody openly acknowledged Bama and UGA weren’t the same powerhouses they have been.

Then the SEC Championship happened and all of the sudden, they’re both dominant powerhouses again. I don’t really understand it.

Bruce Feldman came out with an article of opinions from opposing B1G coaches' who played Michigan. They all have Alabama winning, and they think it won't be all that close.

They believe their QB has really struggled down the stretch.

Also you have to consider the distraction of the NCAA investigation and Harbaugh is likely interviewing for NFL jobs while in California.

Because alabama lost to a playoff team and squeaked by some bad SEC teams they now suck while Michigan is getting a lot of credit for beating a Penn state team that doesn’t play offense and the worst Ohio State team since Tattoogate. Every bet I’ve made for the past month has been parlayed with Alabama -5 (+187)

The +1.5 for Bama has been absolutely rock solid ever since the line came out. As has the Texas -4.5.

Odd to not see the lines not move at all in these last three weeks leading up to the games.

The bookmakers seem to have these games nailed in the eyes of the betting public.

If you really want to make a play as a Bama fan, you can hit Bama beating Texas straight up at +440 odds. That would probably be the best move.

Those two bets combined are almost what I paid for this 68 charger I just drove home from southern maine. I'll leave the gambling to morons and spend my dough on other stuff.

Don't know which Milroe will show up?

Actually not a joke. I'm sure that's why Michigan is favored. It's a better team this year than last, but Bryce Young at qb would be a slam dunk.

No offense, but buying a 60's muscle car in this unprecedented seller's market is a definite gamble.

Without knowing this particular car, if it’s a good spec, say 440-4spd factory A/C R/T, and the restoration is by a known company. This car will hold its number well.

Not to me, I love 2nd gen chargers and while prices have stalled a bit the last couple of years they haven't gone down and this one, dark racing green, green roof and green interior plus an original 440 4 speed car is my dream combo

It's an original 68 R/T triple green 440 4 speed car that's unrestored with original sheet metal and 1 repaint about 20 years ago.

Actually, the prices have escalated crazy the last 3 1/2 years. When the "supply line" issues caused increases in new cars and trucks, the used market took off, and so did the collector car market. If the economy gets bad, the toys are always first to go.

Nice car though.

I have been buying and selling 60's and early 70's muscle cars for a very long time, and this is an unprecedented seller's market driven by the covid issues. If (when?) the economy gets bad, the market will drop precipitously. It always does when the economy is bad.

Meh.. Paying $90ish for a 68 Charger in good spec is not that bad of a gamble. Big correction hits the car would be worth $65k at the bottom of a disaster market.

I would rather ride down a 25% correction with this particular car vs most any other.

It’s not like this car is a flavor of the week trendy classic. It has inherent value.
