I had been waiting for this game all summer to load up on Bama, then sit back and watch them destroy A&M, like real bad.  Now, I am not so confident about this being easy for the Tide.  I still think they will be focused and motivated from the upset of last year, but they have some real questions on the offensive line, and some minor ones on defense.  Hard to tell much about A&M because they have played no one to test them yet.  Honestly, I didn't think Va Tech would test Alabama much either but they limited the running game and pressured McCarron (maybe for the first time jn his career).  Will wait to see other evaluations and study this some more.  Going to be a great game to watch anyway but not sure it is going to be a big money maker for me.  Lot of emotions in this game for players on both sides. 

Tides off.line has some weak spots in it.If not for their special teams the VT game would have been alot closer.Even though A&M still has 4 players suspended.I'll still take Johnny Football and the 8pts.I hope they kill Nicky Satan and the best team money can buy

if anyone saw VT play last wk....very legit D..they deserve some credit. TxA&M D is absolutely swiss cheese right now. With the wk off i expect a huge outing for bama  offense.. if theres a prop with Yeldon tds i ll take 2 all day poss 3.  Bama will be able to get the necessary stops..i expect none for aggs. ROLL TIDE

Yeah bama's o line looked like garbage but give Nick Saban time to plan and he destroys you. See ndame, lsu, Texas, etc. The tide will go down soon but not to Johnny "George Dickel" Drunkziel. Bammy gives him 40 oz to freedom. Ala for the large!!!

I like the new names for immature Johnny, Money Badger and Johnny Cash.  Kid is a total jerk and deserves to have his behind handed to him.  I think Bama could certainly do it but they don't look invincible to me this year.  LSU will be a very tough test, as well as UGA in Atlanta.  Bama gets their revenge in College Station, but do they cover.  The Tide offense is iffy and A&M's defense will be jacked by the crowd.

Bama is the type of team that grinds you up. Their kryptonite is a crafty mobile QB...his disruptive style of play cause problems for the big lugs. And the moxy!!!...carving out the heart of all conforming ...HATERS!! Those are the intangibles required to beat such a very sound pro style team.

Take the home dog here, JM will keep Alabama O off the field.....Alabama by 1!

Bama didn't show much on offense against v-tech.. Luckily their special teams covered.. Not to mention v-tech's D looks really good this year.. My question is how will TAMU's D hold up against Bama? Rice was able to move the ball pretty well, gotta believe Bama will be able to as well..

I'm going to go with Saban with 2 weeks to plan and adjust.

[/Quote u must b a dumbass saying best team money can buy,u must b from up north...

I like Texas A&M + 7 1/2 in this game, even though Manziel is an fool!! Bama does NOT look like bama so far after one game. They do have 2 weeks to prepare for Manziel. With Manziel's abilility to NOT get sacked at all. I feel A&M will come out the winners in this game.

Final score: Texas A&M 31 Alabama 28

I really think Bama didn't show much on offense on purpose.. I've heard they actually game planned for TAMU most of the summer instead of Virginia Tech.. I think that has some truth to it.. If that is the case I don't think Bama will let off the gas against TAMU.. I think they'll smack Manziel around and send a message to the country with a huge win..

...bama will unleash on the aggies ...believe me the loss at home last year will be all over the locker room  walls ....saben will treat this game like a bowl game ...bama wins 2nd round as they usually do 

agree 100% even though I doubt they need to remind the players of any revenge factor.  Alabama travels very well (team and fans) and will unleash it all on this team Saturday.  The extra week to prepare combined with the fact that Tx. A&M has had two scrimmage games is another plus on the bama side of the ledger IMO.  If this were 4 or 5, I'd hit it hard, but still like bama at -7.5

Saban is so prepared for Manziel and TAMU this season! Flashbacks of the year LSU beat Bama and then Bama totally dominated LSU in the BCS championship game that same year! Bama will be ready!!!!
