Head of Alabama Department of Decision-Making
Nothing I really like in today's game. Took the over
Around the rest of the conference, here's what I'm looking at:
No way I bet AU. Purdue or nothing. I wrote about it in the B1G thread, but AU is a mess with a lot of internal issues within the AD right now. Gus has shown that he's not great at preparing his team for bowls, so I can't in good conscience bet them. So of course, they'll win by 21
I like Florida for a variety of reasons that are also mostly covered in the B1G thread. Not sure if there are anything to the rumors, but sounds like Harbaugh might be a sought after coach for some NFL teams. In that regard, much better that this game is before Black Monday. But with all the UM guys sitting out, I like UF to keep this close if not win
Got nothing on SC vs UVA
14 is a ton against a team that can score like OU. If nothing else, the backdoor will be wide open. There will be no quit by either team unless it's a 35 point game in the 4th, which I can't see happening. I'm interested in Alabama TT over, as well OU TT over. And definitely those in 1H. And as good as Alabama has been in the 1H this season, I kind of like OU 1H, as I think they'll throw the kitchen sink at that defense, knowing they can't afford to get behind
No real opinion on Mizzou or aTm, though I lean both SEC squads. Would feel better about Aggies than Mizzou
Miss St-Iowa should be pretty boring. Think State is better team overall, but Iowa knows how to get in and win a fistfight. Lean Bulldogs
LSU should trounce UCF. And they'd be doing us all a favor. UCF has somehow made themselves an unlovable underdog. I feel it's wrong that they and other G5 teams start the season without any way of making the playoff, so it's not that I think they don't belong. I fully expect them to win though and the narrative will continue
Feels like Penn St should win easily, but UK has hung around all year. Will have to look into this one further, but Penn St is my pick at first glance
If UGA and Texas both play their best game, UGA wins easily. I think it's fair to question UGA's mindset these last 4 weeks. If they are feeling sorry for themselves, I can see Tom Herman improving on his underdog record.
