Right now, the smart money is going Bama's way. Vegas is begging people to even the betting out and take TAMU.
Exactly. I wonder what the local Birmingham, Montgomery, Mobile bookies will have the line at kick-off. It could be as high as 24 by game time.

Just read that twice as much $ has been bet on aTm. How is that possible without the line coming down some?

Yeah, but a&m only won because they fumbled six times.
Very true. I battle back and forth between being nervous and confident. I truly do feel like we are at least 3 TDs better than them, but it's that nagging nervous feeling that keeps coming back.

I do say that if we don't get crazy and turn it over a bunch of times, we'll win, period. They are not good enough to beat us without us giving up possessions.

Are you sure it did not say twice as many bettors instead of $? If this is the case it means the big bettors are loading up on Bama and the small bettors are playing A&M but don't know if this is the case.

There was a tweet earlier from one of the guys who does the lines for ESPN (will try and find it) that said a "well respected" large bettor placed bets on Alabama at 17, 17.5, 18, and 18.5...

Wise guy money on Bama is a very good sign. As I stated before this is a fishy line and to the normal Joe Blow the A&M +19 looks great and Vegas is loving it. A Bama beatdown is coming Saturday.

Point spread accurate. We are still a Coach Saban process team but learned how to stop the new age offense while adopting that offense. We are the most dangerous on both sides under Coach Saban era period.

We are running an offense with as much depth and surprise of attack as I have ever seen. Jalen's success will make it easier on the RB's.. And he can throw with the best of the league.

Let Vegas and the betters do their thing. I just want Alabama to win, and a one point margin is all that it takes.

This is the kinda spread I expect from a 2001 Miami type team. If we cover this one, we just might be. I just see a 10-14 point Bama win if we keep the turnovers down. If we have turnover problems, we'll probably win or lose by under a TD.

I have learned than a great many people consider Texas A&M to have a great defense. They are ranked 97th in the nation and 12th in the SEC. The Aggie DC even said they had an SEC caliber defense.

Sorry, but I wouldn't take that if it were gift wrapped under a Christmas tree. The only thing that will make you look like you have a great defense is if you come to play and we don't.

A&M's isn't as talented as Ole Miss as the tweet above suggests. Kelly is a better passer then Knight is. You need elite QB play to even be in the game against us. Knight isn't a elite thrower. Hes an average thrower that can take off and run at times. Kelly will be drafted into the NFL in rounds 1-2. Knight might be an undrafted FA.

So #1 Bama is a 18 pt favorite over #8 Tamoo. #2 OSU is a 19.5 pt favorite over unrank PSU.

What does that say about the spread between #1 and #2??
