Yes, I am a Bama fan. Yes, I will be at game. Yes, I have played Bama a lot this year. No, I will not play Bama is I can win money on TX.
I have had a tough run during bowl season and laid off today waiting on games that I feel are better plays. LOVE Florida at -12.5 and have already played it rather heavy along with FSU +2.5. Put both of them in a teaser and think these are best plays left on the board. A few things I will let you know and any input will be welcomed.
- Bama has a "second" teamer who got into a little trouble that has not been in media....FACT. Should not affect game yet could if there is a "key" injury.
- Saban has this team focused yet seems like practice has been off this week. He held a "scrimmage" this week under the radar to try and avoid let down like he did last year.
-Saban hired the Pacific Institute to help deal with the mental side of the game 3 year sago. The major focus has been on helping the players deal with "success" this year after SECCG.
- TX will focus in Ingram like Auburn did. Will affect game. I see Ingram rushing for 100+ yet will carry ball 20+ times. Bama has won the time of possesion "game" this year. Texas is good against the rush and this will be difficult.
- Brown is playing the under dog role and liking it. Advantage TX. Saban is having to deal with this. TX has been here before Bama has not.
- Bama D will play TX like they did UF....keeping McCoy in the pocket and not rushing past him. Tebow only had one big run and Bama DBs covered the Rec. Look for the same.
- Special Teams...well, I think this could go either way.
Bottom line....I still see Bama winning but not covering the number at this point. NOT a play for me...yet. GL

I will be at the game as well, been to 11 of the 13 games this season. Really would like to know who got in trouble, I havent heard anything significant. I think Greg will be the reason we will this game, hes just a winner. Not sure about giving 5 points though, but who knows. Nobody thought we'd kick Florida's ass like we did.

Call me crazy but I think something that is helping Bama right now is everything that is going on in sports.... What is the media talking about right now, and what have they been talking about for a few weeks?? Not Bama and Texas... From Tiger, to all the coaching changes, to now Urban and just the past few days Leech from TT...Past Championship games have been talked about weeks leading up to the game, hell if someone didn't know the game was being played, they might not know until next week.. The Bama media has not really been talking about it at all... It has been real quite around here and one reason for that is everyone is scared Saban will freak out on them for pumping his players chest when there is still work to be done.. If Texas beats Bama it will be because they was better....This will be the most focused Bama team to date this year in what should be a hard faught battle... IMO though the team that wins this game covers ATS...

koko...some of the "stuff" in media has helped. Saban made it real clear in first presser that media needed to back the fuck off about playing for National Championship game. He refers to it as "next" game. Team is staying 1 hr away from Rose Bowl and will practice at CC field. I think he is going old school on the team and would hope they get re-focused once they get to Cali.

Texas really isn't that great against the run, the defense as a whole is better than people think, but I wouldn't be that confident in them doing a lot to slow ingram down
Neither was Auburn's....

Alpha, agree with you. I am a devout Alabama fan for a long long time and have been cheering them on towards the national championship.
But their dominance against Florida in the SEC hampionship game and Texas' "lucky" squeak by nebraska and the low opening numbers then jumping up with Alabama plays, and Engram winning Heisman scare me. I'm going to lay off this game and cheer for my Tides. Hope they win, don't really care if they don't cover. And I feel they won't. Just hope they don't lose outright.
