Heard Bob Baumhower on WNSP 105.5 radio down here in Mobile predicting a 35-21 win by Bama!

It seems a lot of behind the scenes radio station pundits that aren't mainstream or mainstream media are predicting that Alabama rolls big tonight. ESPN pundits are all pretty much 90% behind Clemson and thinking Clemson wins.

im thinking 27-10 Bama with both Jalen and Bo having lots of running success

Jalen needs to make at least three big throws down field deep to keep their D honest. Even if they are just 50/50 jump balls. Clemson is going to come out and load the box against us with 8-9 defenders. We need Ridley and Stewart to beat their man consistently because they'll see single coverage all night long.

I also think Clemson will overcompensate on OJ so they don't see a part two of what happened last year. So our WR's need to come up BIG.

That's a lot of room for Ridley and Stewart.

BAMA 31 - 23

Scoring by quarter:

BAMA 3, 7, 7, 14
Clemson 7, 6, 7, 3

Notes:

Their D is great but wears down in the 2nd half. Jalen and Bo will have success on the outside in the 2nd half. Our D will set up points, and our O will deliver. Roll Tide!

ESPN Staff

Eight of the 12 selectors picked Alabama to make history by repeating as national champions in a tight contest, with only one predicting a margin of victory larger than 10 points.

Who are ESPN experts picking in the CFP championship game?

To be expected: they poormouth Alabama and sweettalk the opponent all week only to go with Alabama late when it doesn't even really matter anymore. The damage was done, our guys have heard the talk.

So after we torch them will Clemson whine that it was an ESPN conspiracy to talk them up all week and make them overconfident? [emoji6]

I have not been impressed with our offense of late. Jalen is going to be great, but still struggles throwing the ball and has not gotten over his turnover tendencies. The offensive coordinator change has me uncomfortable. I am hoping the change is for the better, but I am not overly optimistic. Historically, in the final championship game, the team that is on a historic run of wins has come up short (Miami versus OSU and USC versus Texas come to mind). I am hopeful for a victory and pulling for the Tide. But if I had to make a pick, I would go with Clemson, 23-16.

27-14 Bama but will take a 1 point win right now!!

I re-watched the Washington game. Take out the pre-snap penalties, phantom illegal receiver down field(completed first down pass on 3rd down and TE was pass blocking) and the delays looking at the side line and we have at least 2 more TDs. If Watson is on, we win/lose a close one, if he isn't it will be a ND type beatdown.
