I'm thinking that may be because each of the last two years we've gotten to this point of the season and already had a loss, which makes the subsequent plays all the more important and puts more pressure on the guys.They also don't seem exhausted. They have just seemed exhausted at this point the last few years.
I know, seems weird to me too. I mean we beat Tennessee by 39 points. Texas A&M almost got beat by Tennessee even though they turned the ball over 7 times. The line should at least be 24.5. Here's my stone cold lock of the century of the week, Alabama wins 52-24.I'm still wowed by all of this. Almost 20 pts?

This is the game that concerned me next after OM. I really excited for this one. I believe it is a measuring stick for the offense to be truthful.I know, seems weird to me too.

The money line has grown with the line....Yes, the line 17 point line is hard to believe.
The money line is even harder to believe.
And for explanation on a money line, read here.
That's my understanding of it.So essentially, in order to win a hundred dollars picking Alabama to win, you'd have to bet $1100? That's the way it works, right? So we are an 11-1 favorite?
TAMU had 21 points off UT turnovers. UT had 7 points off TAMU turnovers. Not the most heart-warming stat for Aggie fans considering they had to go into OT.Yeah, but a&m only won because they fumbled six times.
Another reason I don't bet. If I did my head would tell me to take A&M and the points. I feel like we will win, but I would be scared of that 20 point spread.As much as I love the Tide, somebody gave me A & M and 17, I`d be hard pressed not to take it.
I agree. I took Texas A&M in my pick em. They played it @ 18.5. In other words we could win 38-20 (a solid win) but still not cover. (No I'm not saying TAMU will score 20. Just giving an example).Another reason I don't bet. If I did my head would tell me to take A&M and the points. I feel like we will win, but I would be scared of that 20 point spread.
This is what I call a "fishy sucker" line. It seems the books are begging the bettors to bet A&M. Same thing in the Ark/Barn game betting Ark. Both of these games are no bet games IMO.Another reason I don't bet. If I did my head would tell me to take A&M and the points. I feel like we will win, but I would be scared of that 20 point spread.
Right now, the smart money is going Bama's way. Vegas is begging people to even the betting out and take TAMU.This is what I call a "fishy sucker" line. It seems the books are begging the bettors to bet A&M. Same thing in the Ark/Barn game betting Ark. Both of these games are no bet games IMO.
