Bama! Roll Tide! Texas was imo an unimpressive undefeated team that should've lost the Big 12 championship game. Their D is good, but not as good as Bama's. All Bama has to do is put on the pressure to Colt like Nebraska did and that's what Texas expects, so they may keep an extra blocker or 2 in on pass plays, but when they do that, Bama can go for more Int's.

Prediction: Bama 27 - Horns 16

you are right !!!!!

another fact colt mccoy is a douche bag

God my capping has been horrible since I got back from vacation going 0-2 this week thinking that not gambling during my vacation took some of that football thinking out of my brain.

Anyway I would like to thank everyone again this season for posting alot of useful info once again here on covers. although CMU dented my bankroll last night it was still a very profitable season so far thanks to everyone's info so from the bottom of my heart thank you very much  I hope we can all continue to help each other out once again next season once college ball starts again but I'll miss all of you until then

Well I know Bama will be trouble for my Longhorns but I'm still going with my Horns on the final. To my Bama friends out their good luck to all of you and may the better team today win 

Still waiting on my lines so I'll be back...

But Bama will have to bring extra men to get to McCoy and that will open up space for receivers to break off their routes on hot reads. This is exactly how Texas wants to move the ball. 

And as other posters have noted, Bama is a run first offense. But not only are they run first, they're not close to being balanced. If Texas can slow down the Bama ground game then Bama is going to have big problems moving the ball. We're looking at a team that was held to point totals of 22, 20, 12, 24 and 26. That's not exactly a juggernaut. While I'm not convinced Texas will be able to shutdown Bama's run attack, I do think they can get them in 3rd and long enough times to make Bama struggle moving the ball. 

I don't think this is a game to make a big play on. I see value on Texas +4 with a possible small play on the Texas money line.

Agreed. Not going to lie though, I'm a Longhorns fan so I am betting on them regardless.

Then why bet in the steers?  When they lose it's a double whammy.  I never, ever bet on my favorite teams.

Happy New Year my brother to you and your family 

Don't worry about being on opposite sides my friend I'm probably wrong as I have been with my last 2 picks. ....just wagering on my Longhorns only because I'm going to be cheering for a Longhorn victory anyway.

Good luck my brother ...football is coming to an end so my family time is coming up. At least this time i got both my kids into golf and we are going to play a lot of it once football is over

Bama all the way to the bank. I just rolled it thru my book. I can't see McCoy infiltrating this solid Bama D.I se a lot of screen type passes from Texas. Bama's running game will control the clock  Bama Bama Bama!!!

I am betting that Texas will stop the run and force Mc Elroy to win the game for them. Texas wins a close one.

Everybody saying that Alabama has been thinking about this since they lost to Florida last year.  True,  But you are telling me Texas hasnt thought about it since they were left out last year.  Heisman Jinx, When you cant run, you throw.  McCoy > McElroy

31-21  Horns

Got up off my recent schnide last nite.
 
Going to use 'Bama+12.5 and 'Bama SU with my boxing action. Just hoping the FNF lines open before kickoff. 'Bama looks too physical for UT to me.

After careful consideration Under 24 1st half I'm thinking the layoff time the defenses make the under the play I think this game will be very close to the total but I'm betting the scoring comes after the half as for the side my head says Texas +however many points you can get but I gotta root for Bama so I'm just throwing a token on Bama -4

With you today, so far it the under dog who ruled this bowl series, I counted 19 to 12 with a couple tied like one last night.

Hook'em Horns.

Under 46

Both teams are impressive on the offensive side of the ball. Alabama has a nasty defensive and will come out to play tonight. Texas will match Alabama's intensity on the defensive side of the ball. I love the under in this game.
