Alabama @ Texas A&M

[cloverleaf]

Love the fact that the lower ranked team (Bama) is favored over the higher ranked team,
especially playing on the higher ranked team's field.

Also, Texas A&M has been a disaster ATS after an open date (0-9).

Bama the play for me........what about you?

A&Ms ATS record is part of the opening spread already

Bud, I don't have a clue what your saying...not sure you do either?

Alabama is 2-4 against the spread...Texas A&M is 4-1 ATS.

I'm going back and forth on the Michigan / Michigan State game.

what does this mean? Also, Texas A&M has been a disaster ATS after an open date (0-9)

 

[DrunkenHorseplayer]

It means that the last nine times TAM has played a game following a bye week, they've failed to cover the spread.

Red, I like Michigan......

hard to beat a team if you can't score on them. (3 shutouts already this season)

 

[Redagger029]

Michigan seem to have a solid defense.

This will be Michigan's first real test with top ranked teams. .. besides losing to Utah on the road.

Might take the points. Can't see Michigan State getting crushed.

Bama is almost always the fav in a college football game. Bama crushed them last year 59-0 last year. They beat them by 7 the year before at A & M and Bama was a 8 point fav. Bama is 1-6-1 ATS in its last 8 games on the road. Bama have looked pretty good their last two games. I took the dog at home in a revenge mode and hopefully a look ahead for Bama.

i wonder..can the aggies stop the power run game?

can bama cover those aggie wrs in space?

Interesting...I could post "Bathroom Sinks" in the Off Shore Forum and it would be moved to CFB.

Meanwhile, others post NFL, MLB, NBA, CFB stuff in the Off Shore Forum and it stays there.

Fuck it...I can read...I know where I'm posting...please leave my posts where they are posted!

AM is one of the few teams I have not watched this year, wanted to watch some on the internet this week but have not had a chance yet.. what is their QB playing like? is he dangerous on the run throwing and or running ? What is their line play like? bama dominates everyone up front, if they have decent line play and a QB who can run for his life they may have a chance?

Alabama.

Much better defense, especially the net rushing advantage they have. A&M has struggled to stop the run and that will be their downfall.

Get the +8.5 right now. Michigan is much improved, on both sides of the ball, but perhaps their biggest improvement is on special teams. I am as die hard as they come when it comes to UM football. As a coach I am a realist with zero bias. I can tell you that while UM has indeed achieved 3 straight shutouts, the domination came at the hands of 2 freshman QB's with little to no college game experience, and a Maryland team with a terrible offensive line and a turnover machine at QB.

Michigan hasn't thrown the ball down field at all this season. QB Jake Rudock has gotten better each game, but has clear limitations in his game, mainly his inability to hit the deep ball. Nearly every deep ball he has thrown this year has been overthrown by a good bit. Rudock is good at dinking and dunking the ball down the field, minimizing mistakes, and scrambling.

Connor Cook is the best QB Michigan will face all year long. MSU has skill position players of good quality, and a big offensive line. Michigan will be without one of their best LB's for the first half (James Ross) and will also be without Mario Ojemudia on the defensive line.

Both teams like to pound the ball and play good defense. MSU is always super prepared for this game, and I expect no different this time around.

Either team could win this game, but I can't see either team winning this game by more than 7. Jump on the Spartans at +8.5.

..

Nice analysis..>>this is a true grudge game..more than the Wolverine Buckeye game in some Michigan minds...>>way, way over appreciation of Wolverines; and undervaluation of undervalued Spartan team...might be under as the best play; but 8.5 is a gift..

Saban is going to shove that ball up A$M's asses by rushing between the tackles. He'll keep the ball away from A$M and shorten the game.

Bama 35-17

Saban's been known to do that (shove the ball up the other teams asses). There definatey is a mean-streak behind that "baby face"...

What's your take on the LSU/Gator game Pete ?

LSU wins comfortably.....without UF's starting QB. 24-10...something in that range.

Great write up.

Re: UF/LSU, Harris was All-SEC Freshman last year. He has more starts than Grier. There's very little drop off. +9.5 is a gift....
