I also have parlay live OleMiss/Bama for title game, so you got your wish Adderall Slim, I will continue my fade. My half sarcastic dabo butt tightening comment was light hearted and not meant to be taken as my write up for the game. Nobody can dispute that Dabo typically plays big games pretty close to the vest (ND, NCSt, SC this year) but it is also well documented that Dabo has a pretty decent record in those type games. As I said that was to be taken as lightheartedness, not as a write up. In terms of my actual thoughts on this game I am betting on one thing, the Alabama front line on D. The Bama front 7 may be the only thing in CFB that can be counted on.
I have a friend that is typically a smart money bettor that is pulling his hair out today with all the favorites and overs hitting and he just keeps saying, "Everyone sucks" which is not too far from the truth haha. Bama front 7 is the best unit among the four teams in the CFB Playoff and I will place my money with them to win the game. The line seemed a bit higher than I expected but no surprise to see the line go from -4.5 to -7 in minutes.
Though for the record I will recant any sentiment of negativity towards Clemson over the last few weeks. Over the last few years Clemson and namely Watson have done terribly come December games because they actually start to play some competition. This year the team was far better than I expected through the year and where Gamecocks nearly pulled a fast one on them, that would have been a miracle with the talent gap as it stands this year. That partly played into my butthole tightening joke as he played it close enough to the vest for ND and USC to get back into the games and nearly win them both. But the coaching job done against OU was definitely top notch as they already had a beat on OU from the year before and Stoops could not adjust at all. It should be a great game, maybe one of the few competitive post new years bowls lol.
