16 over the Aggies seems light....

Texas had a bad O-Line
This statement is why that line is still too low. Texas has never had issue with getting skill players on campus, but without a quality OL none of that matters.
Bama was > 7 point fav vs Hogs last year in T-town and we finally have a Pittman quality OL this year. Not predicting that translates into a Hog win, but the line seems high.
ETA: also, wouldn't touch the A&M game but I don't think any line is gonna protect Aggy from Nicky breaking one off in them this year. Nick doesn't run the score up (intentionally) but I think he makes an exception this year.

But to be fair, the previous three Alabama/A&M games were 52-24, 47-28, and 45-23. So I don't think you made a bad play,
Oh I know. It was a perfect bet. Bama just laid down and took it from Faggie. Never touching a bama line again

Most worried about @ Ark.

We can agree to disagree. He caught 2 passes, and the drop at the 4 yard line was crucial.
Hall cost Bama at least 10 points in that game with his drops.
Still better than Billingsley who was barely running his routes at times.

While I don't think AU wins more than 6 games, I believe I'd take AU +24 right now.

How the frick do we have the lowest point spread
If i had to guess....your offense will be very good and Alabama's secondary is (at least thought to be) suspect.
Huepel has you guys headed in the right direction. He just needs to figure out that defense thing.

I’d wager Alabama is one of the few major brands Vegas absolutely loves for how unfriendly it is to the gambling man.

Will Anderson and Dallas Turner
Easily the best two OLB/Edeg rushers in the country on one team. They are going to make a lot of QBs lives miserable.

I think the INT by Chris Smith was Billingsley not running his route properly, wasn't it? (I might be remembering incorrectly) Seems like he either slowed down and broke the route off early causing Young to overthrow and setting Smith up for the INT?

Alabama is going to take a few steps back on the offensive production they've enjoyed over the past four years. I doubt they get in any shootouts unless the opponent has a terrible defense.

Explosively I agree unless a few wideouts really step up. But I think Bama will be much more efficient on offense next year than last. They made a great o-line hire (I think) that will hopefully fix the worst aspect of the team last year. Additionally, Jace McClellan and Jahmyr Gibbs are more versatile than Brian Robinson

I wouldn’t touch the Texas line. One one hand, Robinson, Hall, Worthy, and Whittington is a VERY good set of skill position guys, Ewers is a #1 recruit at QB, and Sark is a good offensive mind
On the other hand, Texas had a bad O-Line last year and that’s not exactly what you want when facing Will Anderson and Dallas Turner

This could be a great game, or really ugly. High Temps will have an impact on the big uglies. Turned LSU-Texas into a track meet.
Slow down the pass rush, game on.

That’s correct, he was so far out of position without having been touched that I didn’t even realize he was responsible for the pick until the second or third replay.
Obviously that’s on him, but he had been pulling that **** all season so at that point part of the blame is on the coaches for putting him out there.
Despite what people think, Saban has actually at times given people too many chances in trying to help them realize their potential. Sometimes it pays off, sometimes it doesn’t.
I think in reality they just didn’t have anyone capable of contributing at a championship level after all the injuries in the passing game so they just let it ride in hopes that the light would come on.

Well, it had paid off twice against us,(2017 NCG and 2018 SECCG) so it was about time for one to backfire on him!
quote:I get that, too. You have to think that the kid has talent and maybe was dogging it a bit until he could get in a key position. Then maybe he realizes he is on the biggest stage and turns it up a notch. Alabama will probably be better for his leaving.

Good luck with that. Anderson and Turner are two of the best in the country.

LSU money line looking juicy.
Posted on 7/12/22 at 4:50 pm to TideTurf
LSU and Arky are easy money. Bama wiIl probably win but not by 17

You want to win big
take bama over Tennessee
Arkansas plus points those are locks
LSU plus points probably good too.
3 game parley for 1000
