I dislike both of these teams, nothing "homer" about me. There are many posters who are blinded by emotion, whether love or hate, but most here are bettors just expressing an opinion. Everything is possible, especially in a bowl, but the facts support Alabama to win. The only question is, by enough to cover? I think so despite having no love for Alabama's offense. But the Bama OL is a force, and ND has not played against a team as talented as Alabama, not even close. I think this game is similar to the Alabama opener against Michigan. They just have more talent in the trenches and at RB. You may disagree but don't assume it all "homerism", it is easy to see that when it occurs.
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!
Local lines were 6-10-40.5.
I will go with Alabama and stay out of O/U.
Good luck everyone! Enjoy the game.....
O.K., admittedly, not a big college betting "fan" - but, just too many variables in this one.....
It's the S.E.C., right? Against a weak Notre Dame schedule? The game is in Miami?!?!?!? The only loss was against "Johnny Football" in Texas? Who did the "Dames Of Notre" beat????? USC?? C'mon man................
doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure this one out......................
The Crimson Saban's by at least 20 - - point spread is 10 right now?!?!?!?
You do the math......................
Crimson by a LOT - - I'm talkin' like 52-17 or something like that...................................
Three Cheers For Old Norte Dame...
