and FOUR writers pick Alabama

they failed to include the over/under

but it looks like 2 for the under and 2 for the over

Georgia is not man enough to beat Alabama - at least according to Dawgnation

Those 4 guys are from SECCountry, and they’re all Bammers. Everyone picked OU last week, and Auburn in the SECCG, and here we are.

Let us use the underdog motto as fuel and as Ric Flair says, "to be the man, you got to beat the man"

“Sports journalist” has to be one of the laziest jobs in the country. I feel like anybody on this board could’ve made one of those picks in the article and given the same reasons why Alabama wins. Probably been equally eloquent in prose as well.

I honestly don't want anyone picking Georgia. More Fuel to the Fire and let the DAWGS go in there pissed off with an UnderDawg, no respect chip on their shoulders.

Well, Alabama is the favorite, and they should be. So I wouldn’t be too offended by writers going with the odds.

My boss just put up the Bama Hype Video on our board before our sales meeting, trying to be cute and the whole message is about being the underdog, never believing the odds, and giving folks a reason to see why they actually play the game. Pretty funny since they're they favorite tonight.

The message is more in line with what I have to believe KirbyCo are hammering into the players' heads.

I'm expecting a game similar to the 2012 SECCG. Bama will get a lot of rushing yardage against our defense just like OU did but not nearly as much passing yardage. And the game might well come down to the ability of our OC and offense calling and executing a key play to win the game.

Regardless, Gooooooo Dawgs!!

It's going to be a hard fought game, win or lose. This likely won't be one of those games where I yell at the TV if Kirby brings out Specs to hit FGs early on, because I think every single point is going to be at a premium. We certainly can't settle for FGs if they're getting in the end zone, but if it's slow, then Blankenship can be the difference maker in the long run.

A defensive score or ST TD, could break the game open for either side, but I like our chances better than theirs in those departments.

ETA - Joe Tessitore just agreed with me on Full Ride on SXM ESPNU.

I read elsewhere that literally no one in the media thinks we're going to win (might have been Fiutak at CFN). Anyway, I've actually yet to see anyone pick us. Similar to Clemson last year and Ohio State 2014 FWIW.

ESPN pundits overwhelmingly pick Alabama as well.

New York Times had our band on page one of their Sports section, if that means anything.
