I ACTUALLY GOT THEM AT 4 BUT JUST IN CASE YOU GUYS COULDNT GET IT
HORNS BAMA IS GOING TO HAVE A TOUGH TIME SCORING - TEXAS WINS BY 7-10
YOUR TEAM HAS BEEN THE BEST TEAM ALL YEAR IMO AND THE BEST TEAM ALL YEAR-IM A BAMA FAN 3RD FAVORITE TEAM -BUT THIS TEXAS D IS UNBELIEVABLE -BEST IVE SEEN IN A WHILE- ADD IS THE SPECIAL TEAMS DESPARITY AMONG SO MANY OTHER THINGS I LIKE YOUR CHANCES
Thank you for your help on that pool too. I finished 4th which was good for $18k. Nice way to start the New Year. A win tomorrow would cap it all off.
Best of luck and thanks again.

thanks thunder for all your hard work. i actually just got texas at +4 1/2....local. dont know if their trying to push people off on texas are make you think bama really is the play. oh well i have luved texas from jump.
As I look at this game it makes me wonder how Texas is going to score. The two best defenses they faced all year were OU and NEB and they scored 16 and 13 respectively. I think it is safe to say that Bama's is better than both of those defenses. Texas's schedule turned out to be pretty weak once it was all said and done.
A question I had is that I remember the Texas Oline was beat up pretty bad at one point in the year, is it still beat up or did they get guys back? That will obviously be a huge part of the game.
BETTER THAN OKY AND EVEN WITH NEBRSKA - SEC VERY WEAK O WISE WITH POOR QBS - BAMA HAD LOT OF LOW SCORING GAMES AGAINST WEAK TEAMS = SPALDING I WILL BREK THINGS DOWN TOMORROW BUT THERE ARE ALOT OF REASONS I LOVE THIS LINE -
Fair enough, I am looking forward to looking at the angles of this game tomorrow! Very interesting matchup to say the least.

Thunder - Unreal bowl season and even more so since the New Year. I have followed you here since '00 and I can't remember a 'capper even close to this. In either '03 or '04 I think you had a similar bowl streak. Congrats, good luck tonight and keep up the great works as it IS appreciated.

Well were do I start. First lets start were these teams are the best at D. Number 2 an3 they are great against the run,pass and causing turnovers. There are 3 things that i see as distinct advantages for The horns 1) there run d is unbelievable they have had 56 run tackles for a loss there lbs are hybrid backers NFL prototYpe that get up field fast nd do not miss tackles-long with the thomas saety they have there run d is one of the best ive seen in a while-Albam must average 4-5 yards a carry to be successful-against a run d that gives up 2 yards 2)The d ends Acho and houston are nfl first rounders that get upfield fast dont make mistakes and just cause havoc both on rund and especilly the pass-well unlike Mccoy who can handle the pressure the frosh qb has shown a couple times especially against Tennesee if you knock him down or put him in 3rd and long with this pss rush-Best in the country he will hve a tough time of it. 3) Muschcamp for Texas know saban and his tendencies in alot of situations-I also think Williams shuts down julio jones to few catches
Alabama has a great d but they also played against some weak mistake prone Qbs -But how will mccoy handle his reads and pressure- The kid is cool as cucumber and the top qb nfl wise in college he will make some big plays.
Special teams both have good kickers and punters- but bama is ranked 117th in kick coveage and bama is ranked 13th meanwhile they have the #2 return man in the country returning kicks. Big disparity
TEXAS IS 26-1 FOR A REASON THERE LAST 2 YEARS FOR A REASON - Brown has these kids practice in full pds and works them hard -he changed this 5 years ago and has 5-0 record in bowls. including 3 BCS GAMES and 1 championship-
Texas and bama d are awesome but whos d will effect the other team more -i say Texas for sure- If texas slows down the rushing attack they win this going away if they dont and bm gets lets say 170 on the ground i think texas wins by 7.
Know the intangables this line opened at 4.5 and got hit hard by big money -meanwhile volume wise smaller wagers are coming in on bama i hit it at 4.5 and hit again at 4 and a few friends who i consider shrps are all maxed on Texas- Before the sec championship and big 12 champ the line on these 2 were -1 _LINE VALUE- WEll I have this line at -3 -Texas has motto this Week Be humble earn respect- well they have mine.

With you 100%. Texas wins this game... What is your take on the over / under ? I'm leaning under 46!..:0corn
