    Mississippi +14 at Alabama
    This line seems based more on perception than how these teams have looked this year. While Old Miss hasn't faced much, Bama could easily be 0-3 ATS as they needed two kick return TDs and a defensive TD to cover vs. Va Tech. Also take a look at this: Alabama currently ranks 56th in the country in total defense, 38th in rushing defense and a rather alarming 83rd in passing defense. Remember when this team led the nation in all four main defensive categories two years ago (those three plus points allowed)? This team is not that team and Ole Miss has the versatility on offense to give the Tide fits. And one more stat: the Tide rank only 86th in total offense.

    It's still Alabama vs a generally untested Ole miss team. Could be 24-0 at some point in this game.

            Who knows what the future holds for Ala...

            IMO --- They still have the better talent across the lineup ( 30 'starters' ) Than 98% of the rest

            Their 'problem' is they have not yet played as a cohesive unit, all on the same page. Will that ever happen ?

              But that exactly what I mean about perception. The CURRENT Alabama team is not like past teams that could open a 24-0 lead just because it wants to. No doubt Bama is still the better team but I am not convinced they are 11 points better on a neutral field than Mississippi right now.

                    The current bama team basically rolled a better a&m team in a&m after a slow start (outplayed them by 21 points for about 50 minutes)

                    Not sure why they're not the same team

                    Better passing game,similar run defense and we will see about the pass defense

                      It essentially took a meaningless TD at the end of the game for Texas A&M not to lose to Alabama by 14 in College Station; Even after taking a 14-0 lead. No way in hell would I feel comfortable only getting 14 points to take Ole Miss here in Tuscaloosa.

                      Bama's schedule is weak enough this year for them to realize they need to have some quality wins under their belt in the event they lose to LSU later in the season. This is their last big game for a while so you better believe they are going to be up for this game and will not save anything for Georgia State next week.

                      Their defense stats are obviously going to look bad because they have only played in 3 games this year, and one of those was a shootout against one of the only teams in the nation who could drop 42 points on them. (Johnny Football)

                      Bama -14 small, for some action.

                      EDIT: The line has shifted to -13.5. Even better.

                              Ole Miss started to show some promise last season. I think they can hang in this game. I'm on them as well.

                                Bama down to -13 1/2.

                                Believe Johnny Football skewed those defensive and pass #'s. A&M real tough place to play at and that place was rocking with the Tide in the house.

                                I have Bama teased on a couple cards @ 7 1/2. The day is starting out strong and I'm tempted to place a straight bet on the Tide under 2 TD's at home.

                                Rebs just squezzed by Vandy, beat SE Missouri St and then beat a struggling longhorm squad. I'm still not sure what type of team the Rebs have. I guess we will find out. Tide #'s might be inflated? But, in Saban I trust.

                                See better plays, but damn, if this gets to -13, I think I'll bite. gl

                                    This is like Miss St vs Bama last year. Undefeated SEC team that's a historically SEC also ran that's "finally get all the pieces" shows up in Tuscaloosa and gets pounded. No one in the country can match Bama's depth and versatility. This is a statement game for the tide.
