LOOKING FOR SOME QUALITY INPUT ON ALABAMA at MISSISSIPPI STATE
I am seriously considering this game, and because I bet generally quite large, I would appreciate some quality input on this particular game, as the handicapping has gotten quite tougher these last few weeks, and possibly one of you will see things in a different light than me. I am expecting Alabama to come back strong in this game, as I have a lot of faith in Saban.
What is the status of Miss State OL? Two players were out 3 games ago and I stayed away.
They had no way of scoring like they had in previous games and late last yr.
If they are still out, I would go with Alabama, they are still #2 in the BCS and could wind up playing LSU again (hey, it was OT) and that should keep them motivated to snuff off Miss St, say 31-6. A lean for now, need to find out about the OL.
You are probably right brahmabull, but I have decided to pass on it, and make a big play on Arkansas over Tennessee in Arkansas, as I consider that the play of the week, other than my Houston blow out win tonight.
Mississippi State fan here...Stay away we are very unpredictable and this is somewhat of a Rivalry with us only being 45 minutes from Tuscaloosa. I see Bama rolling but that depends on which MS. State team shows up and you might as well toss a coin if you're trying to figure that out.
I wouldn't put 1 dollar on Bama this week. That doesnt mean they wont cover but I look for Bama to look pretty sloppy here coming off that loss(should be win) from last week.
I'm not the most experienced capper here. With that said....I picked State +17.5 here. State has almost it's whole offensive line healthy and the injuries and lack of depth up front really hurt their offense early in the season...ever since the Auburn game. I just can't see Bama showing up and playing 100% after such a tough loss to LSU last week. I think this will be a low scoring game....something along the lines of the LSU Mississippi State game earlier in the season. A 20-13 type of game...
