I'll be right there with you on Bama- i think the line will be -8 or so-
Love the over tonight but i'll pass on the BC game although the under looks appealing.
What are your thoughts on texas/byu total of 56.5 pts? That sounds way too high in my opinion.
Good luck and keep killing the books!!

jimmy, great stuff as usual buddy. gotta ask why you didn't take the GOY line over the summer of bama -6 vs. a&m? worried about getting burned by an injury possibility? i pounded it and glad i did as i see this opening at -10 come sunday.
also since you seem to have a great read on bama and their rivals, what do you think about the direction of the Tennessee program? not this year, but the next three to five? i believe they finally have things on the right track to be competitive in the east again, but as a fan i'm always wondering other's opinions. what do you think?
GL to all

Any total for a ECU game under 60 is almost an automatic bet on the over.
Some people are so jealous of Bama's success they can't see straight.
Saban had the game in full control almost from the start. He doesn't need to build the confidence of his team, he needs to guard against overconfidence. (Only team that can beat Bama is Bama). Most every other coach is always trying to build the confidence of their team by running up the score.

Great explanation on the Bama game Jimmy...well, Bama doesn't pay Saban that kind of money for stupidity. The dumbs*t antics of Johnny Football over the summer will only fuel Bama's need for revenge after being humiliated by him last year.
I believe that the VT game was brilliant. With a week off to really prepare for their first real test against the Aggies, I expect to see a totally different game with McCarron opening up the playbook.
It will be fun to see Manziel signing autographs on his back (I hope).
ty for posting and bol all

Hi Jimmy! BoL for this week, last one i was not sure if go or not with Oklahoma, but i decide that i would like to check them in detail, so now i believe the are not so impressive but LMonroe was playing very conservative and that was part of the reason of the final score.
I went with FSU really good, they gave me what i thought and thanks for your support on that BET! will check my picks and I would pick the pick for today i am with you in that one as well.

Loved your analysis on the Bama game, not gonna lie I am afraid of Johnny Football even with your compelling argument. I always say its scary when a guy makes football look "easy", where hes not playing the same game as others. Though I think ultiamtely I believe he wont be able to hold, just because TAMU's defense will just get annhilated

This cannot be made simple enough: if Alabama protects the football and A.J. McCarron, the Aggie defense will not keep them from controlling the clock and scoring.
Texas A&M could not stop the Tide last year unless the Tide stopped themselves. Saban’s offense is based on ball control and they could not keep the ball enough last year against the Aggies to be effective.
McCarron had an unusual ratio of TD’s to INT’s (1-2) and there was also a fumble lost to the A&M defense. If you are keeping track that is 3 turnovers to Texas A&M’s zero. That is not how any team wins games, but especially not how a Saban coached team wins games.
To keep the ball in College Station the Tide will have to get the 12th Man out of the game early and keep them quiet by owning the line of scrimmage. Texas A&M is going to rely on their quarterback to move the ball, Alabama is going to pound the ball. Even in third and long situations look for Alabama to move the ball on the ground and burn clock to keep the ball out of Manziel’s hands for as long as they can. In this game and this game only a long drive that burns several minutes off the clock and doesn’t result in points will be nearly as good as a long drive that leads to points because every second Manziel doesn’t have the ball means a second that he cannot score.
A.J. McCarron must be efficient in this game, and given that he is typically extremely efficient, this will not be a difficult task. This just might even be an “easier” game for Alabama than their previous game against Virginia Tech. The crowd will definitely be more hostile than what will be in the Georgia Dome, but the defense will not be as fast and not as attacking. (Say what you will about the ACC, but Virginia Tech knows how to play tough, physical defense.)
Part of the ball control game will be short passes looking where the best result will be a completion for a few yards, and not the big gainers that McCarron and his receivers will be looking for against the inexperienced Hokie secondary to start the season. The offensive line will be in full run blocking mode as they will not need to protect for the pass for very long. Expect the Tide to kill time in a methodical effort to control the ball and wear out the A&M defense.
With Alabama’s emphasis on ball control and Texas A&M’s need to capitalize on big plays against an attacking defense we can safely assume this game will not be a rout, but instead this should be a tight game until the end when the team with the fewest amount of mistakes to be ahead when the clock reads :00.
Kyle Field is a tough place to play and the defending champs will have a target on their back. This game has all the marks of an early season upset: on the road, playing a team hungry to prove they are not a temporary success, a hostile environment, and plenty of hype.
This will not be an upset. Alabama does not lose to the same team in back-to-back seasons. Saban and Co. are going to prevail.
