🏈 Bama Opens as a 12-point Favorite v. Ole $i$$

Uhm...

They were like a 13 point favorite against the whos correct? Unlike most years I do not think the point spread means much this year.

 

[Justneedme81]

Fuck no.

 

[Rolltide24]

Road game? Deduct 15 points from Bama’s spread.

 

[BamaMD]

We will not cover that spread.

 

[bamascw]

I think that was supposed to be 12 penalties not a 12 point spread

 

[EasyTider]

Hopefully we spend some time this week on how to avoid crowds on the way to the locker room after games. I think we're going to have to navigate traffic again Saturday evening. Sadly, that's what I'll remember most from this season...all the field storming after road games.

 

[RollllTide!]

Hope they spend time on throwing, catching, and tackling. Punting and kicking has had enough practice in the games.

Bama can't stop the run because our interior DL is average and ILBers are about the same. Lane will go after us and if his QB can complete passes (he's not great but our team make all QB's look like Joe Willie) then we will not be able to keep scoring with them.

That looks like free money just the LSU game was.

Inclined to take points.....

 

[MunchyOs]

We will probably be double digit underdogs at home to the barn

 

[BamaFan334]

Judkins will run all over us. Vegas, although very very very very good, seems to be going off our past rather than current. I do not see how you can find 12 points in what we are doing when compared to what Ole Miss is doing.

The players are really good. Their scheme, what they are asked to do, and how they are coached is the problem. They'll be thinking so much with all the eye candy OM gives in the run game they won't be attacking downhill.

It's not a players issue, it's a coaching/scheme issue on the defense.

 

[bamascw]

And factor in Lane running every trick play he has plus not punting at all! Over under on ole miss punts….3

Hell I figured the line would be even; MAYBE -2 or something really lose. But 12?

If I were a betting man (and not a BAMA fan), I'd certainly bet Ole Miss to cover.

 

[We All Bleed Crimson]

Laughable!

 

[tider79]

Saturday will be an indicator on whether or not Saban has lost this team

 

[MunchyOs]

How are we STILL huge favorites in these games? Makes no sense

Bama 24 Ole Miss 31

 

[64Tide]

No way we cover the spread.
