They've covered the spread 4 of the last 5 times. An update on my pick 'em to date: 82-55. Good for 69th overall in the Yahoo standings. My one bad week has killed me in the standings.
They will run it probably every play in the second half. Saban isn't going to run it up on Dooley. And they won't risk McCarron any more injury. He'll be pulled early. So it is up to you as to whether that means they win by 21 or 17.
I think Saban shuts it down after jumping out to a 28 point lead. Now, can Tennessee score 14 on bama's backups? That's the question
Patterson is good for a circus td and i believe Bray will hit one deep to Hunter. The rest depends on lane and Que/Young making it respectable on the ground. AJ and McCullers can stop the run for one quarter, after that it gets ugly.
That's why I wouldn't touch this game. I'd see this one going 49-17, but wouldn't want to take a chance on Saban taking his foot off the gas. I still expect Bama to cover though.
How bad is mccarrons injury? I know he will play but how much off this game will be just win and not get any further injuries?
In the past, I would say there is no way that we wouldn't cover an 18+ pt spread in conference, however, I don't see a scenario where Bama scores less than 52 on us. BAMA 55 Vols 23
I think I recall UT+19 at the swamp a couple of years ago being the biggest line in Tennessee history. Is this a record breaker?
That's a 8.5 point improvement. That's 37%. Give him time and that may eventually only be a -6.5 Alabama spread.
He wasn't. And I think it's 3.5. Neutral field last year: +25.5 Neutral field this year: +24 Improvement, baby!
