For discussion on tonights game...

Last year in the title game, Clemson had no Cain and no Williams.... the line WAS Bama -6.5

This year Clemson has both for the game and the line IS Bama -6.5

The look ahead number on this game was Bama -11, -12..... and the line they are using is almost half...

Value on Bama...? I think so...

People remember the last thing they saw... Bama not dismantling Washington ... AND Clemson shutting out Ohio St...

I would MUCH rather have Bama -6 or -6.5 than having to lay 11 or 12...

Thoughts / Comments...??

Roll tide...

value is definitely with Bama here. and seeing the betting public jumping all over dog here makes the value even bigger.

The Clemson game was fresher on the mind of bettors and appeared more dominant when tOSU likely didnt belong in the playoffs to begin with (and that's another thread here at RX)

One game. Ohio State was overrated and fell apart. They had problems on offense and lost a key OG early, the replacement surprisingly was incompetent. They could not get going on O and collapsed on D after wearing down. For OSU to look like that shocked everyone. OSU in a warm weather game this time could not compete.

The SEC is better than the myth out there based on some early bowl games that SEC is weak. Top end SEC teams FLA, GA, Tenn, and LSU clobbered their bowl opponents, the only other top end team Auburn lost after their # 1 QB broke his arm early in the game after leading them on a long drive TD to take the lead. Without him they were one dimensional and were toast.

Bama has top D against the run and # 11 run offense in the land with a better SOS than Clemson.

Clemson struggled with NC St, Louisville, Fla St, and VT, lost to Pittsburg. Bama smothered everybody, undefeated.
SEC plays top end D, ACC scored a lot of points but their D is questionable. ACC looked good in warm weather bowls against cold weather teams. Fla St would get hammered by Michigan if the game was played in cold weather, for instance. It matters. These Big 10 teams over the years have always struggled in the fast and furious world of warm weather bowls. OSU just completely folded. One game.

Bama will stop the run and make the overrated Clemson QB stay in the pocket; that will change things to their favor. The Bama offense will run first and foremost, vs Washington Kiffin let Hurts dance in the pocket when they had established a strong running game, it made no sense. This time they will run more, with some play action down the field. If that is successful, Bama rolls, big, ugly. If not, they should still should smother Clemson and win by 2 TDs.
