My fan affiliation has nothing to do with it, brokowski.

I had Alabama winning every single game they've played this year, except that I predicted them losing vs TAMU because of the hangover effect from an emotional LSU game and I thought their defense would struggle early vs a dynamic TAMU offense and a hurt McCarron would hamper the offense enough to keep TAMU on top. I also had Alabama beating Auburn 63-0 and if they play Notre Dame, I have them winning by two touchdowns. So you can take the fan bias shite and shove it.

Agree. I think they win straight up, personally.


While this is certainly possible. One of the first thing we tell bettors is you can not will your team to win.

Often times it is better to stay away from games you're close to.

Well, as you might have observed previously, I'm not a big bettor.

And I'm rooting against Alabama, but that doesn't really cloud my vision on how I feel the game will play out.

ETA: as long as you understand I'm not flaming - I see you mention its not a fan bias that fuels your belief.

Won't touch this game, but I think UGA keeps it close.

I think they will too. Line should be -3.

I've never been one to let emotions get in the way of how I think a game will take place.

...except the Florida/Bama SECCG a few years back. I truly believed Florida's offense would magically come alive for one game. Call it Tebow delusion.

And I know you aren't flaming. Just know I do know how Vegas lines work. Like anything, they are out to make money. And they make money by putting enticing lines out that get people to put money into the system.

Didn't everyone say bama vs miss state was free money? How'd that work out for everyone on the rant? I know a few people threw down a lot of dough on that line. Last time I checked Murray isn't a big game player and Richt sure as hell isn't a big game coach.

People that actually watched Mississippi State play knew they were walking into a meat grinder.

They played nothing but cupcakes and struggled even with that.

You're really comparing UGA to Miss St?

I wonder how the media is going to portray this game over the next few days?

I had them winning every game too until I watched all the footage on Johhny Football. I know then that if Bama lost any games at all....Texas A & M would be the LONE STAR!

My winning bet is definitely on ALABAMA!

I would take the over on the 51. I could easily see this being a 28 24 type of game.

Not sure what the score will be but GA has no chance to beat Bama. They are too good and will win the NC this year....and next and maybe the next.

Because it has nothing to do with Vegas liking Bama Ross, it is set to get bets moving

That number is high now, I'm thinking it drops to around 5
