Texas +4
Texas/Alabama Under 45
1 Unit each @ Bet365
I like this matchup for a couple of reasons, not only because Lang is on Alabama, or that public Joe is on Alabama but simply because of the matchup.
Colt McCoy has a 70% completion rate and 10 more throwing touchdowns than his opponent McElroy tonight, and another 1,000 yards on top.
Alabama are rush heavy and tonight they are up against a team that allow 2 yards per carry on the season. 3rd down situations may be a lot harder for Alabama on 3rd and 8's when usually they are down clser to the 3rd and 2.
That is why i think there will be a low scoring game tonight, i think we will see more field goals than TD's.
Against the top defense of Nebraska, Texas went way under the 45 total set for that match, and now they face the very good Alabama (ranked #2 D) defense.
Both have reduced their Rush D efficiency in their last 3 but i see no clear drop off in recent formwise to suggest this game doesn't have value on the Dog
Good luck
