I think the difference could be on the other side of the ball/sidelines. In those years the gumps had a much better O than they do this year. I like our chances
bama would be about a 3 pt favorite on a neutral field. even though I think theyve yet to cover a game at home in 5 tries this year. they'll get 3 more for home field. making the line about 6 or 7 i would guess.
Has anyone seen a Vegas line? I Googled but couldn't find anything. I'm with tirk. I think it will open at 6 or 7.
good offense yes but didnt have the best oline or best player in the country running behind them. those 2 variables change everything and add harris who is the x factor. we had them beat last year with jennings who was 8 for 28 or some shit and 76 yards. And they may have had the best playmaker in the country in amari cooper as well as tj yeldon who i was glad to see go. henry and fournette played but fournette is exponentially better than he was last season and henry is just another in a long line of bama backs who will flop in the nfl. and of course, will likely drafted by sean payton. defenses are a wash. both can stop the run and neither secondaries have been consistent. ill take my chances with the likely heisman winner against their front 7 over henry vs ours any day of the week. our 52 looks like another 52 stopping the run which is what bama is going to try to do after they throw it around the first 2 possessions. (ray lewis btw) and id take our qb over coker. pretty sure BH has a better qbr, better ypp, is a better runner and has yet to throw a completion to the wrong colored jersey. coker probably has close to double digits in that dept and could have quite a few more. he'll have more next saturday.
