Alabama at Notre Dame (01/07/2013)

Hope all your picks were winners this past week in the bowl games and NFL wild card playoff games.

As posted, I finished 3-1 in college bowl games:

OREGON - Win

OKLAHOMA - Lose

MISSISSIPPI - Win

ARKANSAS ST. - Win

I also went 3-1 in NFL Wild Card Play Off:

CINCINNATI - Lose

GREEN BAY - Win

BALTIMORE - Win

SEATTLE - Win

(Week 17th was 4-0)

As for Alabama vs Notre Dame:  Right now I am leaning on Alabama.  I believe coaching is one of the key factors when all the marbles are on the line and both teams have not played for a long time.  Last week, I was leaning more to ND.  During bowl games, I also look at which team is more motivated and definitely Manti T`eo brings a lot of motivational aspect to the team.  That's why I'm still torn right now.  As Sammy-Ace indicated, I also like the under with both team having good defense.  I'll get back to make my final pick when I see the local line as to which way they are heading.  If I don't return to post my play, I stayed with Alabama.

GOOD LUCK BOYS!

For all you SEC backers,you are nothing but Knuckleheads.

Stop kissing up to the SEC teams,and making them out to be unbeatable.

If they are so unbeatable,why after playing in 8 bowl games,are

they 5-3?Shouldn't they be 8-0?Lol

In addition,why is it when a SEC team losses,I hear that they weren't

into the game?That is total bullshit.The real reason is,they just got beat by a better team.

And the most important thing to remember is this,what is the

only team that beat bama this year?

That's right,(Texas A&M),who for you SEC jerkoffs don't know,

were in the Big 12 before last season,so the fact of the matter is,

let's get off how GREAT the SEC is.

If this is a game ND have no chance in,don't even bother playing

the game.

Say what you want,but ND is still ranked the nbr.1 team in the country

going into tonights game,and will tell you,you will be very surprised

of the behind kicking ND is going to put on Bama tonight.

He's busy ironing his extra small Tapout  t-shirts!!!!!!!!!

I have read all the ND homers' fantasies here for 4 weeks.  Apparently all they do is trash talk and pray, why hasn't the line dropped?  Covers shows 63% on ND yet the line is not falling.  I placed a 5 unit bet on Bama -9 1/2 earlier today after waitng to see it go lower.  Is there no money on ND, or is Vegas wanting to let those on their knees praying just make them much richer?  Makes no sense, if 63% of the money is on ND the line should be going down. 

Maybe a Bama tease with -4 and under 46 is the best play I will get because no one on the Domer's side is backing up their big claims with their cash.

my pick :    NOTRE DAME (it's been 24 years since they won a championship 1988 fiesta bowl.they beat west virginia).  plus,i love love hiesman's runner up Manti Teo'o.he's senior linebacker who caught 7 interceptions and 103 tackles.

just want to wish everyone good luck and as always i've enjoyed everyones post this season.it was totally educational and entertainig as usual.

Q: what does ND and a bag of pot have in common??
A: they both get smoked in a bowl...

with these 2 defenses ... this thing goes under

BOL fellas

The SEC is king for now and while that irritates the heck out of many who post on here, it is a fact. Coordinately, Bama is king of the SEC and as much as that irritates me personally, it is a fact.

I like to bet on facts. The best team in the SEC wins and covers BCS bowl games. Oregon being the exception. I am going with the trend and with my eyes inasmuch as I've unfortunately watched every Tide game this year.

I see this game close until second half when the Tide will finally break it open. Obviously turnovers are the X factor, but I see Bama winning the turnover battle and successfully running the fottball in the second hallf just like they always do. Anyway,

Bama 27 Notre Dame 16. Like Bama -9, lean on the over but like the first half under at 21(thinking 10-6 at half). Intrigued by the Tease posted by W8Lifter may pull the trigger on that too.

 Good luck. See you on the hardwood.
