    Alabama v. Ohio-State - National Championship Game Pick and Write-Up

    -25.7 units in college football because of bad variance.

    I'm on Alabama 1h -4 -115.

    Ohio State was impressive against an overrated Clemson team, but the ACC is now 0-6 in bowls with multiple double digits loses.

    Ohio State talked repeatedly about the loss to Clemson being their motivation for this season and they talked like they one the national championship game after the win. Alabama was angry they only put up 31 points and they were already talking about the national championship game.

    I backed Ohio State against an overrated Clemson team because I was confident Ohio State was strong at the line of scrimmage on the offensive line and defensive line than Clemson. Clemson's defensive line was nothing special, and they replaced 4 starters on the offensive line this year, Ohio State dominated Clemson's offensive line.

    The big issues Ohio State has had all year have been not a bad, but an inconsistent secondary, and Fields has struggled to read defenses in the pocket at times.

    Alabama has the best offensive line in the country even with Dickerson out, and Ohio State won't likely be able to rush four and get any consistent pressure to protect their inconsistent secondary. Fields was also clearly hurt by the hit he took in the Clemson game, and he didn't run again after that hit.

    Alabama should be able to move the ball easily with their receiving corp and offensive line, and Fields isn't likely to run much less than a week after taking the big hit.

    I doubt we get more info, they aren’t required to disclose like the nfl, it was a big hit and obviously it’s doubtful he’ll be fully healthy a week from now.

    yeah it's incredibly tough finding info in college. sometimes i go to the teams' individual fan forums during the week and there's usually someone who has a little info. Bama has really struggled in the past with mobile QB's and teams who run a ton of plays on them so this will be key

    Reporting the stud DT Tommy Togai and DE Tyreke Smith are out for OSU with covid. That is 2 of their best 3 DL out is huge. Anyone liking Bama needs to get the line now before it shoots up to 10 and above.

    Yeah I thought it was interesting that Alabama said they were all for playing on time well Ohio state said they would along with it, their were clear indications Ohio state was having issues.

    No way Justin Fields can duplicate that last game.

    Go Alabama

    Ohio State is already crying to move the game back at least a week. Alabama wants no part of that. As if this season did not have enough bulls**t already, now we get to put up with this. It is pretty obvious that Fields and company are in bad shape physically and will use the Covid-19 excuse to get the game postponed. If they play. 'Bama is a solid wager.

    Looks like Waddle is more likely to play than not based on the most recent practice reports
