40 point underdogs to Bama this week

Post by cc11316 »

And I'm not even sure that will be the biggest spread we see the rest of the season. Georgia coming up in a few weeks.

That would be 22 points closer than last year's game against the #2 team (Georgia; 62 to 0).

Alabama and Georgia both can name the score. My hope is that we can compete with the others, but right now the talent gap is very wide with most of the SEC as we all know.

yup, agree that Bama and UGA are in another league. Hope we stay healthy both physically and mentally after playing each of them.

I saw it opened at 42

Im guessing spread at K/O is 38.5

Anybody think will be lower?

I see it at 43 now so not sure if we see the line go under 40 this week unless they announce that a walk-on will start over Bryce Young and even then it's probably at 39.

I think it will go down to about 37, just as people took the over on a two win season for us.

35-0 at half; 49-3 in fourth quarter; 49-10 after a late touchdown against 3rd string. You are in the money at 40!

That is definitely interesting. In that context, I don't see this as some kind of historical matchup. Meaning, this is definitely not the most outmatched an SEC team has been in a game in the last 25+ years. I think Vandy at +40.5 could offer some value.
