No explanation needed.

I think you've lost in grandpa, but you are entitled to your opinion.

what do you base this perspective on...the intimidating kyle field crowd, or Bama's overconfidence, or their lack of sound OL play or A&M's D is going to play a shutdown flaw free game. Or Bama will not learn from last year and allow johnny football to gallop around the field...

Bama will set the tone early. A&M will make a run in the 2nd quarter, but it won't be enough. Bama methodically carves up's bad D, and Manziel will be pouting on the sideline by the end of the 3rd with a towel over his head. and even the loyal aggies will be able to take so much of humiliation and will be pouring out of kyle by halfway through the fourth...

Alabama's green o line will show improvement and should push the A/M d line around. I also predict Johnny throws a pick six at some point in this game. He's going to get punished and it wouldn't shock me if he doesn't even finish this game.

I too got exactly what I wanted out of the VT game. I've had this Bama/A/M circled for months, waiting to drop a large sum on Alabama. I hoped for VT the game to cause concerns about Alabama to keep this line down as much as possible.

I believe Alabama only went 7-6 ats last season. Not great, but this Auburn grad has made quite a bit of money off them these last 4 seasons when they play in these marquee games.

Final prediction: Alabama 31 Texas A&M 17

nice take...however, I don't think it will be that close...

Roll Tide.
Here is why: T A&M is giving up 5.87 yards per rush this season...might I add against Rice and Sam Houston....pathetic...
Bama will grind them into the ground for 60 minutes. TJ Yeldon is breaking out of a cage this week.
oh...Saban had an extra week to prepare and his soldiers remember last year... they are on a mission to make history on a 3 peat.

Roll Tide!! Bama covers this spread. They should win by 9-14 pts.

For myself personally it would be a better game to watch rather than wager on.

Big props to A&M for beating Bama last season

I always wondered if that Bama loss was due to A&M's great plays on both sides of the ball or was it due to the fact that Bama was coming off a hard fought win against LSU the week before?

I think Bama will be a bit more prepared in this one but then again I could be way off. Regardless I think I'll just watch this game...I think

Not Likely for A&M's Defense to hold Yeldon to under 100 yds..... Saban will have his game plan in place and the Tide will roll over immature Manziel.... I see Manziel making more errors and trying to overplay. As a result at least 2 picks coming from him...

ALABAMA 47 A & M 24

if Rice and SHSU can light up the A&M D - imagine what Alabama will do.... weak O-Line or not......

Football's swollen head will be a little bigger after BAMA gets thru with him. this aint no cupcake team that u can showcase by chuckin the rock for 400yrds. Bama knows him a little better tis yr and they will stomp em back to earth . If they win with special teams,then so be it

Bama large baby!!

Final score: Texas A&M 31 Alabama 28

Listen to Oahuboy808 and you'll learn to win your money back that you've lost so far.

Best bet is to tease Bama with your 2nd best bet if your afraid to give up -8.

I HAVE BAMA ON A 3TEAM 10POINT TEASER WITH OREGON AND ATILL LOOKING AT A 3RD OPTION,MAYBE THE PVER IN THE DUCKS / VOLS GAME.

BUT THIS WILL BE A GOOD GAME, I THINK BAMA HAS A EDGE WITH A&M's WEAK RUN DE AND BAMA WITH A EXTRA WEEK TO PREPARE.BUT, I THINK THE BIG EDGE HERE FOR BAMA IS, THEY WERT READY FOR THE WAY THAT JOHHNY FOOTBALL PLAYS WITH THE READ OPTION AND HIS SCRAMBLING ABILTY, THIS YEAR THEY'LL BE 100% READY WITH A YEAR OFF TO PRACTICE AGAINST THAT JOHNNY FOOTBALL STYLE OF PLAY. EVEN THOUGH I`M TAKING BAMA +1 ON A TEASER, I STILL LIKE THE KID (JOHNNY FOOTBALL)...STOP HATING ON THE KID. YES HE TALKS TRASH BUT SO DID JORDAN,JIM McMANN WHO IS ANOTHER JOHNNY FOOTBALL,BOBBY KNIGHT.AND ALL THE OTHER GREATS WHO HAD THE SKILLS TO BACK IT UP. ONLY DIFFERANCE IS NOW A DAYS THERES CAMRA'S AND MIC'S EVERWHERE. JUST SHUT UP AND LET HIM LIVE. HE'S NOT A VOLENT TRUBLE MAKER. AGAIN JUST SHUT UP. THIS ISNT THE 80's or 90's anymore

inside source from Bama said this much to me...however if this is true, they still have to go on the road there & prove it. Nick Saban, best college coach ever...i think he reserved a lot on offense vs Va Tech on purpose, & Bama wins. they should cover, but tough at college station

everybody keeps bringing that rice game up, remember that manziel did not play in the first half which helped stall some drives and allowed rice more possesions. 21 of the 31 they scored where in the first half. with that said im just gonna watch this one as there are way too many variables and better games to bet on this week

If you still need a 3rd team for the 10-pointer, here is a gift...Ole Miss +12.

Case McCoy gets the start. The guy is very inconsistent throwing the ball past 15 yards. Texas will have to run wild and hit short passes all day to pull this off. Not to mention completely fix a whipped defense in a week. Yes the defense will be better but you can't fix both safeties and the MLB being horrific for the 2nd year in a row. The middle of the defense is garbage, and I'm a Horn. Not just last week, but all last year with the same guys making the same mistakes. Those 3 guys (Phillips, Thompson, and Edmonds) are slow to read, take bad angles, and can't tackle.

I'm loading up Ole Miss on the money line. I also have them +12 in another. It's pure gold.
