this will be my biggest wager of them all with the Longhorns + and ML. Heisman Winner has not been good in the national championship game. In addition, Texas knows how to play and win in Pasadena. Last win was obviously against USC.

Texas is better than Bama on Offense, Defense, and Special Teams. 

Bama has the advantage on coaching.

Texas by 7...

crusher13 - the way you come across, i believe your age in reflected in your login.

this will not be a blowout.  your bullshit commentary tells me you have not seen a game texas has played...

you write like an 8th grader...and I believe you are an 8th grader...

It's so obvious you would have to be insane to take TEXAS!. Don't believe this crap about Mack Brown and his BCS bowl record. THe TX defense is very, very good but offensively, they only have Colt and Shipley. Shut them down and this is the ROUTE of the century!!! Tre Newton doesn't scare anybody but his daddy chasing somes hoes at the ol' White House in Dallas. The other receivers, huh?? Alabama will blow their doors suckers.

choiIo is a total homer betting with his heart and talking out his fricken" TX ass. The main intangible is the "BOUNCE" factor for TX and BAMA reversed!! That is Texas only chance. Otherwise, it is a total SEC ass whooping like previous Big 12 vs SEC matchups!!!

I was leaning alabama a week ago, but I think I might change to Texas and the points.  Ingram won the Heisman, and I think Colt McCoy will want to prove a point in this game.

LongHornHoosiers - seriously..I don't play the "homer" game stuff. Maybe I am seeing something you are not but I like the underdog in this matchup. If I was such a homer, I would just sit back, have a cold one and watch the game...but I am laying it thick on this game cause I have all the confidence in the world that UT have the skills players, coaching staffs to beat Saban and the mighty Bama.

On paper, there is no doubt Bama is the better team and you will find very little angles to back Texas in this spot, that's why this game is soooooooooooo difficult to cap.

The way Bama have performed, the SEC conference, Nick Saban, spread....all of those factors are making Bama very hard to resist and all of those should be "warning" signs IMO.

In the end,,I feel the underdog are always more motivated to take the crown away and like I mentioned above, UT have all the tools necessary to win this game and THEY WILL.

Bama giving anything above 3, let alone 5 is madness. Texas plus 5 and a little ml for me.

Coach Brown made ZERO adjustments in the nebraska game.  He continually left mccoy back there with no changes in his protection schemes.  8 sacks? and countless throw aways out of bounds?  i was shocked and how texas did not counter anything in that game.  defensively, i love how texas has played all year, they have definetly been the strength of this team.  However, i dont think they are better than Florida's Defense who returned 22 defensive players from last years National Championship team.  Alabama shredded them.  Bama had a great game plan, they did a great job mixing up the play calling.  Florida was on their heels the entire game.  i think muschamp is terrific and i expect him to have a nice gameplan to counter what bama is going to do. I just think Bama will line up, go man on man, and wear down Texas in the end.  remember, its not just Ingram.  Richardson is a beast too. BOL on your play, the "value" may be with Texas, and that might be the play, but i wouldnt go heavy on it.....

and i can assure you, this isnt a game that vegas is trying to "trap" anyone.  the action will be heavy on this game and they want it to be equal.  they will swing the line in either direction in order to make that happen.

Mack Brown doesn't do any coaching, dont even think that. He is a figure head and the staff does all the work

J, I asked you in another thread, don't know if you didn't see it or just ignored it but why is Nick Saban wearing a Texas sweatshirt in that avatar?

It was 3 at some book before the atcually line came out everywhere.. Can't remember where but I remember there was a thread about it.. It was 3 for one night and the next day it shot up to 4.5 or 5 at most places..

I almost choke on a piece of peanut m&m when I read this.

WTH are you talking about? Mack Brown doesn't coach? I guess that's why UT made him the highest paying coach,,so he can stay at the school and fuck the young kids since he doesn't have shit to do during football season.

LMAO...he doesn't recruit either, kids just sign up for football cause they want to ride the cow on the campus. Any more BS you want to type today?

texas does come in with a lot of motivation being the underdog facing the sec champs with the heisman winner...

but bama has is 3-0 vs top 10 teams while texas is yet to play a top ten team... bama's SOS is 12th where texas' is 49th.

i know there is a hell of a lot more you should look into when capping this game... but to me, these two stats are telling. it tells me bama has played bigger games this year against better opponents... and won all of them.  while texas is playing weak opponents in games that no one cares about (except for the big 12 championship, which they nearly lost).

this bama team is just better prepared to play on big stage against a big time opponent... bama wins by 10.

choioi,


ask oklahoma and ohio st if being the underdog gets them a title... let alone covers a spread.

Wrong team is favored, Texas wins this game straight up. Texas will be ready and will play their best game of the season. It's wierd but Texas will be up and ready for this game. Watch and see

I have not yet posted on this game but I will soon but you brign up
some great points about who Bama has beaten vs Tex

Texas has not had any EPIC games this season and in a way
has been so far off the radar for a team being undefeated.
