    LOCK OF 2011: Kent State +38 against Alabama.

    There's no such thing as a lock but this is a good spot to bet on.

    Last season, there has been only 1 game late in the season where Kent State lost by more than 38 points.
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2010_Ke..._football_team

    Alabama has lost many important key players from the 2010 NFL draft.
    Pick 3: Marcell Dareus DE
    Pick 6: Julio Jones WR
    Pick 25: James Carpenter G
    Pick 28: Mark Ingram RB
    Pick 208: Greg McElroy QB

    It is unlikely got Alabama to cover the spread with 38 points with missing key players.

    I hate that you threw out the l word, because I really like the play as well. The only way Kent State doesn't cover is if Bama scores more than 14 on defense. I don't think Saban will be putting the pedal to the metal against his alma mater and the place that gave him his start... But it seems that this is a popular angle, so idk. I'll be putting a small bet on it, but it's getting too popular.

    GL--many of Alabama's bench players are better than the starters for KS!

    30+ points spreads are a crapshoot. Bama could be up 31-0 at halftime and win 45-7. Just look at Wisconsin-UNLV...Badgers dominated by didnt pay out

    You've taken the wrong angle on this one.... it's not "can Kent St cover" (because they can't) but "will Alabama play to cover" (and they won't) So I agree with the play. Kent St and the 38.

    only reason they cover is if Saban doesnt run it up on his alma mater

    you can call run plays all day but they will still easily move the ball even with that. its not like he's going to tell the qb's to start throwing the ball out of bounds or throw turnovers....looking at the game from the point of saban not running up the score of his "alma mater" is stupid and you should stop gambling

    smart move dummy... if u liked it so much, u should have teased it 6 pts to +45 and the OVER down 6 pts and bam... easy winner. if u like it a lot... do this to add some insurance to your bet.

    i already won 2 6 pt teaser bets today

    get em next time... which should be later tonight for any true degenerate!
