Freak Pics!!! (Week 2)

I would like to add something to the A&M part. I always hear that A&M beat the crap out of Bama last year and that just isn't true. The first qtr, yes, but Bama had control of that game after the 1st and had a chance to win it in the end. Saban will scorch the earth in rematch games where he lost the first and they had the defense figured out after the first. A&M's offense was simple but effective against Bama. Put 5 wide, run them and most of the defense down the field, if no one is open, run. It was effective until Bama got containment and held the pocket. It was all Bama after that and if it weren't for a bone headed Off Coordinator calling 4 passing plays from the 5(not Bama football)Bama should have won that game and this wouldn't get so much pub. When I heard the line on the A&M/Bama game, I jumped all over it as well

Thoughts on the Bama/A&M total?

Jimmy- Great write up as always.. I am a graduate of bama in 09' and you are spot on with everything.. Bama has been dreaming about this rematch with texas atm.   People are totally overreacting to the poor offensive performance and how the o-line looked bad against tech, but u pointed out a lot of the reasons why.

bama will beat texas atm by 10+ pts

This is one of the best post I have ever read from any cappers or public bettor. If we can all get together and take the time that you put in to this we be a lot more wealthier. I will do my best to give you any information that I know from any publications that I read. The people that put you down on a losing bet are the ones looking for excuses why they didn't win instead of picking on there own. Thank You Jimmy may we all get along, share and have a profitable year.

Jimmy, news flash:

ND has the advantage in the trenches this week.   i know this is something you pay attention to.

Thanks for the write-up, JDF.

One question - why is Bama treating A&M like their GOY?

Back in '08, I understood why Bama prepared for Florida. Because UF was the defending champ and was preseason #1.  A&M is a top 10 team this year. That's good, but it seems strange to treat them as a GOY.  LSU is higher ranked for instance.  Plus, toward the end of LY's game, Bama's O had its way with the A&M defense? If anything, I would think Bama's D would want to withhold some schemes from the A&M O. 

Don't get me wrong, A&M is obviously an important game. But why is the Bama coaching staff trying so hard to keep their offense under wraps from A&M? 

Jimmy, great write up!  Thanks for your contribution to the site. 

Sportsbook.com currently has Alabama at -7 at A&M under their "Games of the Year" category.  I have been thinking about Max betting (330 to win 300 is the most Sportsbook.com allows for "Games of the Year' bets) Alabama at -7.  Do you think there is any chance this game will be under a 7 point spread at any time before kickoff or should I just go ahead and take -7 while I can get it?

A week ago I nearly bet South Carolina at +5 against Georgia, but I held off hoping to get a full touchdown if Georgia beat Clemson.  Now I am kicking myself for not taking South Carolina at +5.  Anyway the South Carolina line is now +3 to +3.5, but I may just take the South Carolina ML at +140.  I think South Carolina wins this game straight up because they are better in the trenches on both sides of the ball.  Any thoughts on South Carolina at Georgia?

 

Thanks for the feedback. But the A&M game happened right after the big LSU game which has decided the national championship - let alone the SEC championship - for the past few years.  To some degree, Bama was a bit deflated going into that game.

Again, A&M is a BIG game.  I'm not doubting that. It's just odd to keep the Bama offense under wraps, when the Bama offense really did just fine LY vs A&M. If anything, the Bama D had all the problems. That's where Bama should add any wrinkles.

So, the real question is - why is Bama so concerned about showing all its offense to A&M, when it was the defense that got torched last year?

Jimmy I appreciate very all the insight u r providing.  I value your input so, although this is a NCAAF thread, may I ask ur thoughts on tonight nfl opener?

Just FYI, the line is 7 on sportsbook's "NCAA games of the year" section.

I also have ECU over 53.5

Jimmy do you like the Gators @-3 .  I just feel there D will win the game for them.  Also do you like Cincy @ -7?  Thanks for last weeks Best Bets!

Really appreciated your insight Jimmy. BOL

Good luck jimmy 

GL this week JDF

GL this week Jimmy!

Bol Jimmy....I like your over play tonight 

Great write-ups and discussions here 

Hey jimmy got a stat for ya. Since Saban became the HC of Bama after Bama loses a game the next time they face the team they lost to Bama is 7-1 SU and 7-1 ATS

Jimmy.....Do you think heat plays any factor to visiting teams to Arizona State?  For example, it is almost 110 today and it will be around 105 at game time for visiting Sacramento St.

Jimmy, any thought on Baylor -27?
