Over/Under

[FATCAT]

What's your take. Personally I think it's going to be alot higher than people think. Obviously both O's are very capable. Defense and whoever commits the fewest mistakes should decide this one.

What say ye ??

 

[SimplePig]

I'm feeling 60 - 69

In another thread, I predicted 90+
Mallett (guided by the offensive mind of Petrino) is that good.
So is the Tide's offense.
I see a track meet.

While I agree both teams can score at will. I think both coaches are scared of the other teams offense.
I see Arkansas playing dink and dump attacking the Bama LBs and the flats. The goal of the Arkansas staff is protect Mallett and get the receivers and backs the ball in space. Bama is talented and experienced in the front, so CNS will be able to keep both safties in pass coverage.

Everybody knows what Bama will do pound,pound,pound and pass when the Arkansas safties get to involved in stopping the run. While Arkansas is improved on defense, I don't believe they will be able to stay in pass coverage.

I think it has the potential to be a track meet, but I think the ball control game will keep it reasonable.

Doubtful. I don't see us putting 60 up on Arky, especially in their stadium, and I sure don't think they'll put 30 up on us.

I'm thinking more like 50 to 60.

I think our defense is better than Tenn. Tech, ULM and Georgia, so is our offense. If Mallett is that good how is he all of a sudden going to score more against Alabama than his previous games?

 

[TidePhin]

If you have 55, I think it pushes

I was thinking 50-60 and ^^^this^^^ seems about right

We won't pound if Petrino puts eight in the box. We'll open with an empty backfield. We would have done that vs. PSU, except we got backed up with a penalty. The runs worked, so we opened the second series empty. If the Hog Nation thinks we will pound away at an overloaded front until we fail and then pass, go back and disabuse them of that notion. The odds are about 90% that we will open up throwing...

So if there are two high power offenses competing, the best defense should win right? I'll put my money on a Saban coached defense any day any time.

I've seen predictions of a total score, but what is the actual betting line for over/ under at for our game against Arky? I saw that we were giving 7.5 points, but didn't see the over/under in this thread or the spread thread.

 

[IH8Orange]

Ever notice that when two great offenses come together and everyone is expecting a 100 point game, it seems that we end up with a 10-7 or 14-10 type game?

I don't think that it'll happen this time, but you never know.

Now don't go bursting Arkansas' bubble with fact and logic! You know they have been "saving" their good stuff for Bama.

 

[countrytider]

Lol...people act like our defense sucks. I'll be suprised if the Hogs score over 17 on us, seriously. 31-17.

It happens a lot-especially in the NFL. The total for this game is 55-56. I think it goes under.

 

[capnfrog]

Not sure what the vegas over/under is but my guess is 60. Remember that every team plays their best game of the year against Bama, always have.
