Alabama -14 Arkansas

nvrlose37 · 09-10-12, 01:53 PM

Bama already -15, that line is a gift regardless of Tyler Wilson playing.

RidetheTide · 09-10-12, 05:16 PM

Be careful in this game, Arkansas is a lot better than they looked in their loss, and if the line is opening at -14 it's just begging for BAMA action. Plus it's an SEC road game.

DerekMadden · 09-10-12, 08:21 PM

All I am going to say about this game is Arkansas has terrible coaching and a lot of Arkansas fans have given up on this team.

Arkansas's defense looked hideous last week against ULM.

Arkansas has completely set up their defense to stop the run. Spread teams (like the FCS schools Arkansas played),
consistently move the ball on them. Whether then can stop the Bama rushing attack, I am not sure. This isn't the key factor in this game.

Arkansas flat out could not stop the Monroe DLine from getting to the quarterback.
Which led to Tyler getting knocked out of the game, and Brandon Allen couldn't even get in rhythm.

Bama has one of the best, if not THE best Dline in the nation. Tyler will throw the ball and have success,
but will it turn into the same thing that happened last year in T-town, that remains to be seen.

My initial lean, based on just the overall atmosphere of Hog-Nation (flat out embarrassed and scared)
is that the Tide, comes in and just runs over Arkansas.

I graduated high school with Tyler and he has said to me as well as multiple media outlets, that he has been studying Bama blitz schemes since February last year and he is extremely confident. How the Arkansas Oline handles it and helps him out, I couldn't really tell you.

I am staying away because I could see Tyler keeping it close (there really is no other leader coaching included on the team).
He alone is Arkansas's only hope.

Line is 19.5 at 5Dimes... Ouch.

ImmaBammer12 · 09-11-12, 03:15 AM

I'm honestly not sure about this either because it's pretty insane to see the line go from 14 to 19 in a matter of hours. Wilson must not be as likely to play is all I can figure since he's concussed as well and day to day. I can't imagine him being much of a help even if he played that banged up.

Bama has lost one of our star RB Fowler for the season after a knee injury this weekend and he was our BIG RB. Eddie Lacy is still gimpy from his turf toe even with surgery in the off season. Things were pretty sloppy this past weekend even with it being a 35-0 score. I'd still probably go with Bama either way especially if Wilson doesn't play.

The total is even more interesting

Fayetteville resident of 15 years here. I don't know if Tyler Wilson is playing on Saturday or not. The line change would suggest he is not. If that is the case take Alabama -whatever. Trust me when I say this team CANNOT score against Bama without Tyler Wilson. I mean no chance they score more than 10 points. Also, this is the worst SEC defense I have ever seen. Our best corner is out (Tevin Mitchell) our starting middle LB was moved from dend this spring (Tank Wright), got hurt and has barely practiced at linebacker. He looks LOST playing linebacker right now. We have two former walk ons starting at oline, another walk on at corner, a former linebacker playing safety. It's a freaking mess. Lay the points with Bama or do not bet this game.

^^^^ this man just gave you some sharp news!

Trigger7672 · 09-12-12, 11:56 AM

Looking more and more like Tyler Wilson is out. Stay away from Arkansas guys, I don't care how much Bama is favored by. At QB Arkansas will either have redshirt freshman Brandon Allen (13 straight incompletions at one point vs ULM) or Brandon Mitchell (QB turned WR this year who hasn't taken any meaningful snaps at QB in a game.)

csknight3 · 09-12-12, 02:36 PM

I like this teaser.

Bama - 13.5

USC -.5

I think Bama rolls and USC has to win. If not then I will just take my loss and cheer because then they won't be in the national championship. Win Win situation.

RidetheTide · 09-12-12, 05:13 PM

-21 on betus now...

You jumped on bama early. I would have loved it at that number, especially with a possible middle at maybe 21.5 or more at kickoff.

I got UT -2.5 as well

BOL

It's bad. Very Very Bad.

Arkansas resident, huge Hog fan, but Lack of leadership has already killed this team. It was apparent week 1. And by that leadership I'm referring to the coaching staff. JOHN L SMITH Is a ******* joke! A clown. Nick Saban will embarrass him. (Remember Smith signed on to be WEBER STATE's HC last winter. Quit just to interim here at UA... Now head coaching this wk against the #1 team in the country.)

Entire coaching staff seems confused. Not utilizing the run game.... Trying to replicate Bobby Petrino's offense... Defense is TERRRRRIBLE. Alabama will run over us this week. Fan base is demoralized and the players know that. These guys were planning on a NAT'L CHAMPIONSHIP this year. Ha.

Serious Razorback Fan, but
Im taking the Tide at -20.5

Nick Saban vs John L Smith. Lol

More info on Wilson quoted from Hogville user Pablo Pigaso. Posted 9-12-12

I was the first to bring the true news about Tyler not having a broken collarbone and having a concussion, even when media outlets and this board were suggesting otherwise. I have been reading this board for a long time and would never post anything untrue.

AS OF RIGHT NOW, Tyler has about a 30%-50% chance of playing Saturday.
Health statuses with concussion symptoms can change within 48 hours, or it could take days to even a couple weeks. I am still hoping and praying that he can recover in time, but it doesn't look like he will.

If anything changes, I will try to let you guys know

No prob.
I really think USC will cover that for ya. Only thing I question is their D... But I still see them winning by 10-14

zola · 09-13-12, 09:18 PM

Another update on Wilson's status for Saturday:

Flown to Pittsburgh to be given a final opinion by their neuroscience specialists there.

Even If he plays... A round trip flight to Pitt and ZERO days of prac further confirms the embarrassment Hogs face Sat. Fade Arkansas at any spread this game.

possum11 · 09-13-12, 10:14 PM

Truth is Alabama is gold in this spot even with Wilson playing. It will be up to them how many points they want to win by. Arkansas was the most overrated team this year before last week - and I don't know how, still, some people are not seeing that.

Trigger7672 · 09-14-12, 10:01 AM

Arkansas media members now reporting via Twitter Wilson is OUT vs Bama. Take Bama -20, take the UNDER 54 points (as I said earlier in this thread Arkansas WILL NOT score more than 10 points without Wilson.) Biggest bet of all take the UNDER on whatever Vegas sets Arkansas total points at.

zola · 09-14-12, 11:21 PM

Yep. Wilson out. Easy dough

zola · 09-15-12, 04:07 PM

Wilson was indeed Ruled Out. 24-0 before half. Hope you guys Faded my Hogs.

I sure did. Bama -20.5 and it's looking highly probable.
