All I know is I wouldn't want to play a Bama team that Saban has had a month to prepare for them.

I will respectfully disagree, Bama is Better than Clemson, They will beat Clemson, It will be lower scoring than people expect, I am seeing a 24-14 Bama win..Exactly my point. Bama being a favorite has nothing to do with on the field results this year and more to do with the name Bama on the jersey.
I hate to say it but I think Clemson runs away with this game. I know the defense has had its share of injuries but what has bama showed on offense this year to make you think they can put up 28 on Clemson's defense because I think 28 is the magic number here. I'd say final score is something like 35-24.
How? Based off of what?I will respectfully disagree, Bama is Better than Clemson, They will be Clemson, It will be lower scoring than people expect, I am seeing a 24-14 Bama win..
I dont know about that the Tigger Defense seems to be prone to giving up rushing yardage more easily thats last years D - hell - we even ran the ball on them in the first half and for some reason started throwing it all over the damn placeAlabama needs to find a passing attack. If they're one dimensional they could be in trouble just like last year.
same as your basis, IMO...
Yes, they want half the bets on each side, but here's the problem with your theory. If they want more people to bet on Bama, they give them points. They don't give the other team points.Bama is a favorite not because they think they'll win. It's set that way to get half the bets on one side and half on the other. They know there are many idiot Bama/SEC fans out there who will put money on Bama.
Mine is based on Syracuse.. and the Weak ACC..
I agree that the ACC isn't as weak as before, but head to head records don't mean much unless the teams playing each other are always comparable. You should just throw out Clemson vs SC for example. Its the best in the ACC vs a lower to middle level SEC team. The ACC has done well regardless, so I agree with your overall point.Not so sure you can call the ACC weak... they are 18-15 vs SEC in the past three years.It's an old narrative that's simply not true anymore.
I'll give you the Syracuse point. They flat out whipped Clemson and I think they (Cuse and Bama) are actually very comparable on offensive strategy, with Bama having a way better run game. Both have mobile qbs. Both have good downfield threats.Mine is based on Syracuse.. and the Weak ACC..
Me too. This is what dablow loves and excels at. Last year they both had better teams but imo, they are the two best teams playing now. Either will beat UGAY or OKI would MUCH rather Clemson have been favored. Much much much.
Shows how bad the playoff positions are. Bama is according to the committee the fourth best team but are favored by those in the know over the so called #1 team. Makes no sense.Vegas has Bama favored over the Mighty Number one Tater football team..
I trust Vegas more than a bunch of Sports writers..
Roll TIDE!!
Playoff committee and Vegas look at very different things. The committee evaluates teams for who is the best. Vegas tries to estimate how people will bet. Don't confuse the two.Shows how bad the playoff positions are. Bama is according to the committee the fourth best team but are favored by those in the know over the so called #1 team. Makes no sense.
WOW you have a short memory there Joplin, Bama lost to Miss st 11/30/1940 then lost again, to Miss st, the next time they faced them 10/4/1941....Other than ole miss. When was the last time Bama lost 2 in a row to the same team?
While clem. Can certainly win history teaches us things dont bode well for the tiggers against the Tide in this game. Daboo is great about playing the underdog and us against the world card, Saban is pretty good at playing those same cards as well. Just sayinWOW you have a short memory there Joplin, Bama lost to Miss st 11/30/1940 then lost again, to Miss st, the next time they faced them 10/4/1941....

Seems a bit odd any time the no.1team is a underdog.
And one last point, call me a tater if you like, but they have beaten us 90 - 17 the last two games. Maybe we should worry about ourselves instead of them.
Alabama’s defense when healthy is as good or close to it as Clemson. Their qb is way behind though imo. Can’t really go by the auburn game though. Look how easily Georgia turned it around in just two weeks. I agree though that Clemson has more overall talent right now.Lol some of the posts here are just downright delusional. Let’s face it here. That front 4 Clem has is dirty and they’re playing lights out football right now. Bama played one quality team that got beat by the upstaters and got pantsed. I’m going to be relieved if they lose, but there isn’t a team out there as loaded across the board as they are.

Top to bottom ACC this year you could argue was worst conference.. Acc this year had a losing record against the other four BIG FIVE conferences.. they were 8-9 vs the others, and Taters got two of those 8 wins, so throw out that ONE Team and they were 6-9..
I'm with you. If my hatred could make them lose, then they'd never win... but I think they beat Bama...again. And God it sucks.Lol some of the posts here are just downright delusional. Let’s face it here. That front 4 Clem has is dirty and they’re playing lights out football right now. Bama played one quality team that got beat by the upstaters and got pantsed.

Um no. The ACC was 2-2 against the Big 10 and 2-1 against the Big 12.Lets say for the sake of Saying, teams are even... I cant see Saban (like you said) losing to a Clown like Dabo in back to back meetings, but hey, that i why they play them..

acc WAS 4-5 vs SEC and 0-1 vs Pac12 that equals 8-9.......Um no. The ACC was 2-2 against the Big 10 and 2-1 against the Big 12.
Just FYI, the Line has Gone up... Bama favored by more now..Vegas has Bama favored over the Mighty Number one Tater football team..
I trust Vegas more than a bunch of Sports writers..
Roll TIDE!!
Dabo wouldn't have it any other way. Cue the "lack of respect" speeches.Vegas has Bama favored over the Mighty Number one Tater football team..

The Clown does in fact, thrive on things like that. he is such a self promoter..Dabo wouldn't have it any other way. Cue the "lack of respect" speeches.
Oh WE HATE!!!!Dabo is one of the top 3 coaches in college football at this moment. Granted , he made many learning related mistakes on his path to this point. It gives many tigers much pleasure to watch/read as some rival fans try and minimize his ability as a premier coach at a power 5 school .
There is no value in listing all of his accomplishments here ,as those that are gonna hate are gonna hate. Make no mistake , the people whose opunions matter know exactly what Dabo is worth to a program.
I am not sure if Terry Don Phillips knew what he had when he promoted Dabo , or if he went cheap and got lucky. Either way , there is zero argument that Dabo has overseen the largest improvement of any college football program during the period of time he has been head man.
Keep on hating , the people that count know what kind of football coach Dabo Swiney has grown to become.
All I know is I wouldn't want to play a Bama team that Saban has had a month to prepare for them.
