🏈 Touchdown Alabama Magazine: What Are They Thinking? Experts See Tide Upset

[beachfinder]

OK, yes I wear my crimson glasses most of the time, but really, with so many "experts" picking this as the upset game, I have to wonder, what are they thinking? Or more to the point, what are seeing with the Ole Miss defense that thinks they can stop the Tide?

Read and see if you agree....

Just for a head count for no other reason than idle curiosity (though I might save this for future reference :biggrin_blue: ...)

How many "experts" have we seen pick against Bama this week.

Mandel did with Ole Miss winning by three and Pete Roussell did as well—same score differential.

I saw reference to Holtz picking Ole Miss and saw Desmond say "upset alert."

Four is my count. Who else?

On the other hand we can include those who've picked Bama if you guys like...

I know Mark May has and if we call Finebaum and "expert" since he's with the ESPN crew now he's picked Bama to win big.

IF we call me an expert... :sarca:

I wonder how many of the "experts" would put money on Ole Miss in that upset? Look at it this way, eventually somebody is going to be right when they pick against the Tide. I wish we had been keeping count how many "experts" have been so wrong, so often.

I don't go with the experts picking. I think because A&M didn't do it then it has to be another team before the LSU game.

Time to make a statement!

Game is on ESPN right? They are just trying to get people who arent Bama fans to watch the game. I think every guy Terry mentioned works for ESPN.

Edit: I believe Holtz HOPES Ole Miss will beat Bama

Mandel is a SI/CNN guy.

Blackledge doesn't come out and say Bama, but it's pretty damn close.

Todd Blackledge ✔ @Todd_Blackledge My expectation is that ALA will play most complete game of the season and Ole Miss must bring "A" game in all 3 phases to hang. #MISSvsBAMA

Not to win, but to hang with Bama...

The opinions of sports experts are about as valid as the opinions of wine tasters. It's all junk science; a roll of the dice at best. Less we forget Urban Meyer on BCS game day predicting a low scoring BCS and an Irish win by a field goal. Let's just play some f**kin' ball and may the better team win.

But you only said by 3 touchdowns.....:ydman:

I've said all week I expected a 20+ point win, but I thought we would score more than we did and they would score more than they did.... That being said,,, I'm glad I got the margin right and we pitched a shutout than the other way around..... ROLL TIDE!
