re: Clemson will beat the Mighty Bama again

Alabama is looking for a statement game this season. They have been dismissed for their weak schedule. Their sore players will have 5 weeks to heal and they'll be in top form for this game.

This is probably their biggest non player advantage.

This will look like an Alabama home game. There are hundreds of thousands of Bama fans within 150 miles of New Orleans. I wouldn't be surprised if the Tide fans make up 80% of those in attendance.

Last year Bama didn't seem to have the crowd advantage. I get that Alabama fans would probably spend multiple percentage points of the USGDP to go to every playoff or championship game at this point, but they need a better showing this year.
