Week 7 Money

If A&M would start Kyler Murray they would have a 50/50 chance of beating Bama, he gives that added dimension of escape when needed, I like A&M since I live in Texas and do follow them some, I'm not impressed at all by Allen, I think Sumlin has a crazy allegience to this kid, Murray will be way better once he gets experience but Sumlin didn't allow him to start vs lesser teams when he should have, I completely disagree with that

but he's a coach and I'm not, lots of Ags think Allen is the guy, I have several of them in my circle of friends here in Texas (not the brightest group BTW) 

I feel like watching that line as the week goes, no point in betting it now IMO, Bama will either establish themselves and win by 17+ or get beat, not sure that spread will be in play in this game

yeah, Cuse played terrible @ South Florida and may not be very good, I'm just thinking if they have anything at all then 8.5 is too many for UVA to lay, surely Cuse has a better coaching staff and enough talent to keep it close, UVA has no home field advantage whatsoever so this may as well be a neutral site game 

I'd have a hard time laying 8.5 with UVA @ Idaho 

Wahoo

I'm looking at bailing on K State for sure, the spot is just too bad after two brutal losses, I also read BA's thread and that Stoops following loss ATS trend over a long span isn't exactly something I want to get in front of

nice job this year Train, you're smashing it 

you are a legend in here brother

Train,  I'm only on Okla.-2.5 so far because I played it early.  Very interesting week.  Nice to read your thoughts as the week works out.  Just not feeling it this week. Treading lightly and seems your doing the same, never a bad idea.

Laughed about what you said concerning Texans and we aren't being to bright.  When it comes to politics and sports I'm forced to agree with you. Geez, you gotta just laugh about it. I'm used to it by now.

as far as the state of Texas in concerned, this is a prime place to be, I love Texas, Austin is one of the top 5 cities in the country IMO, also like DFW and Houston, the only negative is the summer heat/humidity here, it feels like an oven in july/aug, I much prefer the west coast weather overall

Austin?   Used to live there in the 70's.  Best place in the world. Changed a lot from then but still a oasis.

Do you pay any attention to the Southland?  Good plays every once in awhile. I even dip into the SWAC now and then.  McNeese might be worth a small play this week.  The reason I play college games is the under the radar gem.  Not that this McNeese thing is special. Haven't played it  yet.

Chad77- not sure what you are watching or if I am blind but Bama is made to stop the run- they do have a good pass rush but to beat them you throw on them- not run- Aggies defense has crazy speed at the end spots- I think this will be a great game to watch this weekend- 

Wahoo- I didn't get Houston until it reached 17 but I still like that number- I think La. Tech first h is a better bet as they will wear down in the second half- they don't have the depth on defense at all- 

I am thinking about taking Baylor and W. Virginia team total over(I did the same this past week taking TCU and K St. over- almost got both) as I think the game is a shootout that W. Virg won't be able to keep up- Baylor 51-30!

Good luck this week!

Sup blowout! I always look forward to your input bro, thanks!! But I was saying A&M can not stop the run, so Bama will cram it down their throats.. And that will take away what A&M does best which is edge rush the passer.. Cam Robinson has had a high ankle sprain all year since fall camp, and it has hurt his production this year so far.. But he was perfect in this game last year and didn't allow a peep from his side.. I do think things are different this year, and that Coker needs a clean pocket to execute.. He hasn't had that much lately.! So they will bring in guys to chip or double on the edges during pass sits...

On Bamas defense, they are being able to stuff the run with 6 and sometimes just 4-5.. That DL is flat out beastly.! Reed, Dobinson, and Allen are day 1 or 2 draft picks (reed & allen 1 for sure) and they have been amazing! But the thing they have been killing these passing teams with is "batting down passes" at the LOS.. I bet they have 20 on the season! The secondary is getting confident, but there's still 2 true freshmen back there.. But Minkah Fitzpatrick is playing like a 3rd year vet right now.. He's another Honey Badger type guy.. He just has a nose for the ball and has been the missing piece to Sabans scheme.. Our secondary was pure trash last year! But in this game, A&M didn't have anywhere to throw it or any time to throw it.. There's some teams that Saban just "has".. Bobby Petrino was an example, he smoked defense at Arkansas, but couldn't get shat done against Saban.. Does Saban have Sumlin figured out.? Johnny football killed Bama with his legs and escaping ability, but his guys were covered before he took off, for the most part.. His deep ball was freakin amazing when he was throwing to that Giraff the had at 8ft tall.. Lol... I think this is gonna be a great game, and I think it could be a big Bama win, a FG double OT nail biter, or a 3-7 point A&M win.. I think it all comes down to how Bamas OL plays! If it's like Wisky or UGA game, Bama wins big.. If it's like Ole Miss or Arky, Bama will lose.. 

Good take on that game- I am leaning big on the under but I may just lay off and enjoy watching that one- Take what I said with a grain of salt in Boom's thread- you seem like a good guy- I work with a bunch of Bama guys that chest thump all day every day and I get tired of hearing it- Saban is a great coach- If LSU could have kept him there I think he would have had a few more titles there-Enjoy it while it last- Saban is one of the best(as much as I can't stand him! lol) I didn't mean to come off as such an azz in his thread towards you- always looking for good conversation and heck Boom and I have had some big arguements over the years! This place wouldn't be any fun if we didn't disagree with one another at some time or another!

GL! 

STEE-RONG!

Bro I don't take anything to heart.. You are gonna see some real stupid shat from me in that Boom thread cause I was being the guy he wants in his thread, lol.. I've tried to be respectful and nice to the guy, but he won't respond in a respectful way to me.. So I thought I would go full on raging Bammer on him.. Lmao..

Look man, I've said before and I say it now, I can not stand Bammers, and when I go to games I wish the Taliban would attack the quad so our fan base can start over.. I can't help that I was born a Bammer, but I FULLY acknowledge we are the worst fan base alive!! I just have to laugh at Boom when he says Bama is done though, cmon man, Like you said, Saban is a good coach and an Elite recruiter and will always have a good team while he's there.. Bama has been lucky and won a few they shouldn't have, but un lucky and lost a few they shouldn't have also, but he knows how to build a team to beat his league (SEC).. As long as he's doing that, Bama will be there at the end or dang close.. 

Speaking of LSU, Saban told Sexton "if the LSU, Bama, or UGA jobs come open I want one".. Sexton made the calls and Bama replied... I think he wanted LSU, and I'm not saying LSU said no, maybe just jot quick enough on the draw? Idk?? But I really think he wanted back in LSU.. But if he woulda went to UGA, there's no freakin telling how good they would be? 80% of Bama players are from Ga, and we don't even get the best ones! It woulda been a blood bath IMO.. 

I agree on the under in this game and the under in the UF/LSU game.. I think LSU wins, but it's not gonna be easy and I think both teams play very very close to the vest.. Could see 100+ runs in that game.. Lol.. I'm pulling hard for LF, I love that dude and I think he's the best RB we've had in the SEC since the big 2.. He reminds me a lot of an old school type runner and I love it.! I've always been a LSU supporter and their fans are freakin awesome! I was at the GOTC in Ttown and after we lost, one of the LSU fans stopped and put his arm around me and said "I can't tell you what it means to us to beat the best defense that's ever played, don't worry cause we will play again in the NCG".. He was right and I thought it was cool that he said that about our defense.. Then we partied all night and hot wasted, lol.. Sorry for the Novel I just wrote here.. GL man and let's make some $$, if WahooS will get to work already, lololololol....

Seems like this was said before last weeks game too, however they won by 19.  In fact, last time Clemson lost a game outright when they were favored to win was last year to GA Tech, however, the starting QB was knocked out in the first quarter.  If you take that away, they havent "clemson-ed" since 2011.  Perhaps this did happen under Bowden, but it hasnt happened under the "fukin cheerleader."

B.C may cover, but they damn sure wont win.
