267 Texas +5, 3 weight

Agree- easy catch for a 60-70 yard touchdown. Totally changed that game. McCoy's #'s would have looked a lot better as well, and with the Heisman being so close, you never know.

"5) And speaking of Defense...Texas "D" didn't look too good when Texas A&M put 39 points up on them Thanksgiving Night. Is Bama's "O" not just as potent as A&M's?" What was posted about Thanksgiving night games before? Was it that games went over because nobody wants to play Thanksgiving night, and the defenses are too relaxed? Just trying to see whether the uniqueness of Thanksgiving night had an effect on this.

Over react early, don't over react late If we all love ALA so much, we should have been betting our mortgages on them +5.5 LAST WEEK. Is Fla 10 points better than Texas??

[QUOTE=Fezzik;12089]Apparently everyone is forgetting TExas was power rated HIGHER prior to the great Bama/bad Texas weekend. [/QUOTE] Really? By who? No way Texas would have opened or closed a fav against Bama last week.

[QUOTE=Fezzik;12151]If we all love ALA so much, we should have been betting our mortgages on them +5.5 LAST WEEK. Is Fla 10 points better than Texas??[/QUOTE] I did bet the ranch on Bama last week and yes, I do think Florida is 10 points better than Texas. But does that mean Bama will beat Texas...only time will tell. Frankly, I don't care. I bet futures on both Bama and Texas to win the BCS championship at the beginning of the season so I'm going to win a bundle no matter who wins. Roll Tide! Go Horns!

yes FLa is 10 better then texas. Anything under a touchdown with bama is stealing. this is the worst of your picks so far. For one there is no chance this line goes down unless Walters sets it up so for you to bet 3 weight at +5 is fishy and plain dumb.

don't forget how ready bama was for utah last year, when will this be played three weeks from now, Ill take a team with the better qb getting points

Good Combination [QUOTE=mose;12209]don't forget how ready bama was for utah last year, when will this be played three weeks from now, Ill take a team with the better qb getting points[/QUOTE] The better QB + points is definitely a good combination. But, if you'll recall, last year Bama was in a letdown mode from losing to Florida and with that loss a chance to play for the National Championship. Bama also lost its outstanding left tackle, Andre Smith, to an agent scandal and as a result had to reshuffle the entire offensive line the week before the game. And they definitely took Utah for granted...something they won't be doing against Texas for all the marbles.

[QUOTE=Fezzik;12151]If we all love ALA so much, we should have been betting our mortgages on them +5.5 LAST WEEK. Is Fla 10 points better than Texas??[/QUOTE] Seems irrelevant. Clearly the Alabama-Florida line was incorrect. I see stats saying Alabama is a little better on both sides of the ball than Texas. Alabama -4 seems fair to me.

L6Y ATS => Dogs with better Run D (min .5 ypc) 20-7-1 => Dogs with higher (Statfox) SOS (min 1.5) 34-14-1 Dogs with Both above 8-2-1 Texas qualifies for both however SOS can change as early bowl games are played.
