Here we go again,,,Bama -5 is the biggest trap play this bowl season....

Seriously,,Bama just knocked off Florida and UT barely snucked into the Bowl with a miracle FG against who? Yeah...Nebraska.

And Bama only giving -5?????? Less than a TD?

Get ready fellas.......the books are loading up the bandwagon for Bama backers in this one.

Line will more than likely bid up to -7 or so by game time,,,,similar to the Gators vs. OU last NC.

UT is the "correct" play here...to all UT backers, of course you will wait til game day to roll your bankroll into UT cause they are going to shut down Bama's running game.

Just watch.......

Biggest play of the century for me will be on UT +pts.......

Koko, you didn't stretch the thread!!! 

I don't doubt you are correct, but can you answer one question for me please.  How will Vegas help Texas at the point of attack?

Offense - Texas

Special teams - Equal.

Defense (wins Chamipinships) - Alabama

Coaching - Well, the both have NC ring...but I lean Saban

Bama is one of the most conservative team in the SEC. Saban will keep this game close, close, close, game will be decided by a FG. Throw in the fact Saban's team is still reeling after knocking off Florida and now they are stepping down a conference to the Big 12...so to speak, according to the expert.

I love the dawg in this spot. UT will win this game SU, I will make a play on UT ML too!

Go ahead and throw your money on Bama -5.

That total is a low 45, down to 44.5 in some places. That in itself will tell you it will be a defensive battle as the bookmaker is giving respect to UT Defense - fast/furious. This game will be alot closer than ppl might think.

UT have a DL to shut down Ingram - do that and it's OVER for Bama.

I put in a good word for you with Covers, so maybe that did some good!!! 

LMFAO!!!

You never know, Gators ranked #1 most of the yr and going back to last NC, they were favor by -8 vs. OU. The public IMO have already crowned Bama after beating Gators.

The public loves the SEC and there's already talk about Big 12 being a softy etc,, hang on to your seat. This line will get off of 7 before kickoff. Just wait and see.......

The middle will not be a factor if UT win this game SU and they done it before in Pasadena.

uh oh... money is starting to come in on texas.  now 62%/38% split, down from 80% on bama just yesterday morning...

at first i thought everyone in the free world would be on bama... but now it looks like there could be a near 50/50 split bykickoff with a slight edge to bama.

i guess vegas will be trapping no one and just collecting juice on this game. 

Longhorns are 7-0-1 all-time versus the Crimson Tide

Longhorns have won 7 of their last 8 Bowl Games

Mac Brown is 8-3 in Bowl Games (give me +pts) 

UT last NC game at the Rose Bowl in 05 = WON as a dawg

Alabama haven't played at the Rose Bowl since 1946.

  Bama will lose

BTW.....my birthday will be Jan. 7th. My biggest present to me is mucho $$$$$ on UT +pts.

Texas has won a national-leading 17 straight games and its 13 wins this season matches the school record set in '05. 

koko11 - your blinded by love and your in denial man. You can tap dance around the facts stated but they are still facts.

Bama won their NC last week bud. This is payback for UT being left out last season when they got duke by OU. Horns are waiting for this moment to showcase and they will show football fans they are the best team in the country after Jan. 7th.

It's been a long time coming and payback will be a bitch!

Sorry Bama but you guys are not there yet. The NC Trophy belongs to UT.

Like I said, UT DL will shut down Ingram. Than it's lights out.
