again, stupid post...the raiders would win by 100...if it wanted to...anyone who disagrees with me is a moron...Oakland is filled with the equivalent of All Americans at every position, who age in range from 23 to 35...Bama, thought an elite college team, maybe the best ever, is made up of 18-22 year old elite prospects...it would be talent boys versus full grown men...but, I am sure the set who believes that college football games are fixed every time they lose, will believe that Bama would give Oakland a competitive game...Nick Saban and any college football pundit with a brain would agree with me...

Also, college teams only practice 20 hours a week, and that includes film study, meeting, games and strength and conditioning

I few years ago RJ Bell from Vegas predicted a line of -24 for Jacksonville vs Alabama if they were to play. I laughed my ass off. The worst NFL team could put 77+ points easily. Alabama wouldn't cross midfield, hell they might not even get a first down.

Oakland -48 would be fair. I think Bama would put up 14ish

I think a far more interesting question is - could the Patriots beat Rice?

Perhaps one for a Train UDMLP

It would be almost impossible to get the NFL motivated to play, so 24 is probably a good line for an actual game.  It is only a hypothetical game where the NFL team is motivated and gameplans for the college team where  the score would be 100-0.

NFL SuperBowl teams used to play college all stars back in the 60s and maybe into the 70s and the scores back then would be fairly close...

Does anyone here think this is an exaggeration of the score?  Obviously the NFL team will win but to suggest an nfl team wins by 100 points is ridiculous.


Also are people serious that the NFL team would win by over 50 if they weren't allowed to throw the ball at all?  So you telling me they just going to let the running back run every single time?  And have like 3 different running backs run the entire game?  The defense would not know its not a throw so no point of the db's to even guard the wr's.  


Well let say the nfl team would run or throw or whatnot.  But people here seriously think alabama won't even cross midfield once or get 1 first down?  This is beyond ridiculous.  So how many sacks is the nfl team going to get on the qb then?  Also a lot of the players on alabama... their size is pretty similar to an nfl team.  I recalled back then when they compared the ol and dl with the worst nfl teams, they were actually a bit bigger than some nfl teams.  Also the college team could throw the ball deep and get a pass interference and there we go... that's a first down.


You guys really think the raiders or bills would win by at least 60 points?  Also some of the nfl players... they have rookies or players that are in their 2nd year on the team and are backups.  


Who here thinks the score would be more like nfl team 52 to like 14 or something like that?  I mean there is no way alabama doesn't score at least a touchdown the entire game.  People here would seriously take oakland or buffalo against alabama if the spread was -50?


How in the world would Buffalo put up 77 plus points with Nathan Peterman at QB?  You telling me he going to throw less than 2 ints?


I mean are you guys telling me everytime they run the ball, they going to get at least 7 yards or something?  Also if alabama uses some trick plays, well that could get a touchdown as well.

You're the " Mortgage Guy", with access to money?  I'm in Vegas, with access to action.  Let's do this.....

You think 'Bama s/b favored?  Ok...here's a zero interest proposition.  I'll give you 'Bama straight up.  You don't have to give me any points.  I'll take the Raiders.  If Gruden won't play, I can find someone to PS2 the thing.  Let's make it interesting - what's the average Mortgage size where you are?  Let's both put up that amount in escrow.  Fun!!!

Every year you see these types of post.

If both teams are told they MUST play to their full potential for 60 minutes.

The game could be in Alabama, and final would be:

 

Oakland 57 - Alabama 16

............the ANSWERS......are usually more ridiculous than this ......annual hypothetical
  $  better find some D LH....you're really gonna be pissed after Saturday.......... 

NEVER.....a mention that the pros would not be motivated at all.....college guys fired up like crazy > game would be fairly close probably......I would imagine that Bama has several guys that could start for the Raiders right now.....including Tua maybe?
  * plus a roster of 100 or so vs what 53?.......< huge 
  * playing under college rules for RPO's? .....tough for NFL to stop.....esp assuming you 'sacrifice' Tua here and let him run a lot ha......(OL allowed downfield a bit / tough to read run or pass) 
  * early....pros would dominate sure.....but with no depth on the DL / LB's.....>>  college team playing a REALLY fast pace ....NFL team would wear down late big time  


Really the only interesting thing is that what happened when they played a similar game from '34 > '76 or so.....NFL champs vs college all stars......early years the college team was INTEGRATED ......NFL was not (pre WW2).....> as Bear Bryant found out the hard way (vs USC).....having Black guys helps a lot.....................
  * plus NFL didn't pay at all until 60's or so.....often best college players would choose another profession
