Bama a 12 pt fav over the piggies, really?

First off I do not bet on sports I play Yahoos college football pickem. But Bama being that much of a fav what do you guys think about that? I hate to say it but I kinda want the piggies and 12.

 

Who has Arky beat? What have they shown us/anyone? Not much in either dep't.

 

Nobody I guess but Arkys d has to be better than penns d

 

I watched Penn State struggle like hell against freakin Temple and barely put them away on Saturday, Bama's win isn't nearly as impressive now as it was 2 weeks ago.

 

This is good. Everyone telling Bama how great they are will get em smacked down soon enough.

 

I think Akry not only covers that spread but actually not only keeps it close but possible beats them.

I think everyone is sleeping on Arkansas. I was at their game this weekend. They are big and fast. They played poorly against Troy. They are tired of playing cupcakes and it showed. They did just enough to beat them. But when they wanted to turn it on they did.

Again I am bias I am sure as I get 24/7 Arkansas news from my buddy but I am telling you guys. Trust me. Dont underestimate the Hogs. Their offense is really good, and Petrino can coach....

 

Arky is never to be underestimated. But the fact is Arky hasn't played a defense anywhere near Bama's league, and Bama hasn't played an offense to truly test what they have to work on. Arky's D should be at least as good as Penn State's, probably better. Should be very interesting.

 

You didn't see Bama struggle, did you?

With the kids they returned I didn't need to see a game to know what Bama has.

 

I agree that AR is usually underestimated by most fans. Hell, they have given us fits - even in our best years.

Didn’t AR lose its star running back, Knile Davis, just before the opening game of the season?
As far as the line - I'm no gambler, but wouldn’t that factor into the line in the early part of the season?

Yeah, Bama's faced some really high-powered offenses the first 3 weeks of the season. In fact let's call off the rest of the SEC schedule since they returned so many starters.
