Don't Kid Yourselves... Alabama Is About To Open a Can On New Year's Eve!

[Eddy Munny]

I hear a lot of talk about how Michigan State is a gritty team and the point spread is too much and so forth... but I just don't see them hanging with Alabama. I think it's a game that could be close early, but ultimately, Alabama will put points on the board and Sparty will struggle all night to move the ball.

When you think of teams that have given Bama a run for their money, they are teams that run spread offenses with mobile quarterbacks. Think Johnny Manziel's Aggies, or Ole Miss, or even Auburn. Oklahoma last year with Trevor Knight, and Utah the year they upset Bama, also ran the spread. In addition, Alabama had some motivation issues with the latter two mentioned, which obviously won't be the case for their upcoming game.

With Sparty, I don't see a dynamic attack that can expose Alabama. Connor Cook is a good quarterback, but he operates a pro-style offense, which plays right into the strength of Bama's defense. MSU isn't going to be able to line up and run the ball with any consistency, and when they drop back to pass, Cook is more or less a sitting duck for the Tide pass rush.

Maybe I'm nuts, but I think Alabama -10 is one of the better plays of bowl season. I'm seeing something like a 30-10 type of outcome, not too dissimilar from the SEC title game.

Let's hear some thoughts.

My only concern is Michigan State was 13.5 point underdogs vs OSU who is still a top 4 team in my mind . They were also 6-7 point underdogs vs Michigan and won. My point is this team survives on Miracles like that Auburn team did a couple years back. Bama defense hasn't seen a good qb all year because SEC qbs are trash. The fact no one is giving MSU a chance is what is scary. If it's a close game MSU will pull it out. Bama got beat last year by CarDale who is not a mobile qb by any means . He beat them with his arm. I just don't see this game being a blow out . Michigan State is a physical team

Cardale isn't mobile, but they still ran a spread type of offense that was quite potent, especially during their late playoff run. Michigan State's offense isn't what I would characterize as "explosive." I think Alabama's defense versus Sparty's offense is a big mismatch that favors the Tide.

As far as this year's game against the Buckeyes, I think the upset had more to do with Ohio State than Michigan State. It wasn't ideal weather conditions to begin with, and Ohio State compounded the problem with the worst offensive gameplan I've ever seen. Credit to Sparty, but I think OSU wins that game (even with a healthy Cook) at least 7 times out of 10.

Michigan State played a lot of close games, which isn't necessarily bad, but a lot of those games were against opponents who had no business being in a four quarter ballgame with a national title contender... Hell, even Rutgers had them on the ropes for 60 minutes. I think Sparty has taken this ride as far as it can go, and their bubble is about to burst.

Spot on analysis but only 2 things holding me back. I hate rednecks so of course I hate the SEC and its hard for me to bet on teams I hate. More importantly to someone more neutral than myself is what I observed in the Auburn/Bama game. Didn't Bama kick like 4 fg's? Sparty can put 9 guys close to the ball and I can't see Bama torching them thru the air. I guess their D is no better than Florida's...maybe worse but Sparty's coach is top notch and they'll come up with something? Could be like 29-17 or something but I'm passing

[PREMOSIX]

I like bama 28-10

It might be worth pointing out that LSU, Auburn, and Mississippi State have all destroyed their respective opponents in bowl games... and Alabama destroyed all three of those teams, although the Iron Bowl was closely contested until the late Henry touchdown.

I'm going to the funny farm to drop off a care package for my dear friend, GIVEMETHEMONKEY, and then I think I'll saunter on down the street to the local watering hole, to wet my whistle and catch the game on a glorious, hi-def flatscreen television, mounted on the wall adjacent to the talking largemouth bass.

Yourself?

Your love of money should supercede your hate for rednecks.

Your wager, or lack thereof, won't affect the outcome, so you may as well profit off of it.

Solid analysis Eddy. I like Bama as well, but not quite as confident as you. I see it being a 14-17 pt. Bama victory... but it doesn't take much to hose the 10. Taking Houston + 7 today as well. Probably laying off Oklahoma/Clemson. GL today and happy New Year.

Agree --dont bet against bama
