Seems like too many points. Opinions?

[JabooFootball]

Alabama has allows an avg of 3ppg at Bryant Denny. 1 TD scored there all year.

Wait until justin Worley and company wreck havoc

TN +28.5 is a good bet, imo. Alabama wins 34-13.

[ShogunRua]

If Alabama wants to win by 28+ they will. Odds are they will letup in the 2nd half though.

Seems like a bad spot here for tenny, off a south Carolina win and before that a crushing ot lose to Georgia now travel to play Alabama who's given up a grand total of 3 their past 2. Alabama first half has been a gem for me all year and I'm gonna play it big here. They dominate first half of games especially against lesser competetion. Like stated above, their defense is coming off a shutout and before that game only a FG given up, I'd expect them to want to maintain that level of dominance. Also expect vols to come out flat, they've played their hearts out the last 2 weeks and are severely outmatched here, as evident by the line even off their big win. On the flipside im sure nick knows this team can't be taken too lightly, expect alabama to impose their will early on and not let up. Alabama first half when released is the play for me, 3U which is a lot for me by my standards.

TN isnt going to score.

I will have a small play on TN, but the real story is SC a 5 point fave AT Mizzou. Unbelievable!

Where do you see SC-5....???????????

[JabooFootball]

I've got Mizzou -2.5 on my book. Connor shaw is out to. I think mauk proved himself last weekend guys!!!

Maybe I'm off the mark but when I analyze/cap Bama I always try and factor Saban's mindset coming into the game.

My opinion is that he might want to pound Tennessee by 30 or more points because Oregon pounded Tenn at their house by 45 (59-14...2nd week of season). Like I said I might be off the mark but Bama is a team I analyze a little different.

[JTrain]

Bama's best opponents were its first four... they didn't beat any of them by 28 or more.

Tennessee is shaping up to be a pretty decent team.

Bama wins 31-17

Vol fan here, so grain of salt with anything I say. . .First, I love the way my team has responded to Butch. There is fight and grit that I haven't seen in a long while. I'm proud of Worley as well for becoming more of a game managing QB with no TOs the past couple weeks. However, I just don't see how we match up against a top team like this. Our talent falls off immensely after the first string and I can see bammer absolutely covering after 4 quarters. While Worley has improved, his accuracy is still way off the mark. Our backfield will be exposed much more than Shaw was able to. And, on the flip side, bammer really seems to have found a rhythm and they looked flawless against Arkansas (yes, I know how bad they've been). If the line was closer to 24, I was going to put a small one on the red team. At 4 TDs, I think it's a no play or a slight lean to the red.

Interesting take tenesseety. Maybe I'll just sit back and watch the game. I'm a UT alum so I'm already biased as it is.

Alumn here as well. '98-'99 was my senior year. Great way to go out!

[jdk426]

I really like UT with the points. I dont think they sit in as bad of a spot as Bama. Im not always right but I think Tenn is the better play. Remember that Bama plays LSU next week with LSU coming off of a bye week. I think Bama gets a good lead and lets off the throttle.

[Scratch 23]

I've played the Bama games four times this yr. took the 40 and 50 pts we got with CSU and Georgia st, layed the 28 against kentucky and arkansas. My belief (stated before)is that Saban runs it up against the weak foes of the SEC. He pulls starters against lower rung FBS schools and calls the dogs off. So this week, I'm left thinking about the Vols status. Are they a SEC bottomfeeder, or are they a more middle of the pack team? You can't deny their marked improvement over the last 2 games against quality opponents. BUT,,,,,,, alas, those games were at home against teams (SC and Georgia) that do not have anywhere near the defensive prowess the Tide has. Bama has LSU on dockett next(the only game they could theoretically lose this yr) but that game won't be played for 2 weeks with their bye coming up. I don't see this as a look ahead spot. Take away the A and M game and Manziels crazy 4th quarter, and the Tide have given up 10 to VT on the road, 6 to CSU(mercy points), O to old miss, 3 to georgia st(mercy points), 7 to kentucky, and 0 to Arkansas. Of note, the Vols did score 14 against the ducks and 17 against the gators on the road, so they might get on the board......maybe. Will the Tide get 38 or more points?? I have to think so. While i have slight reservations here, hoping for my 5th win of the season betting on Bama games. Laying the 28 with pretty good confidence. GL all.

[theprofessor71]

Bama 1h is always the better bet. And Bama is off next week to play lsu the week after. Seem they would want some momentum going into the bye.

1st half has been golden. 1st quarter too, but it seems alot of books aren't even giving those lines anymore. one local book i use won't even let me tease the Bama games. Weak!!

Completely agree. Took Bama -27.5 at 5 Dimes. GL. Roll Tide.
