I wish I hammered o6.5 @ -120. We've scored at least 7 in 75% of our games.
It's risky, but I feel like we score at least 10 in the 1st qtr this week. +135 looks good. May have to pass on it and take the 1st qtr total o13.5 though.

I guess it comes down to thinking we can drive the field twice vs LSU driving it once

The line on this one is very strange to me. Tennessee was a 5.5 point favorite. Then LSU lets a dog water Auburn team jump all over them 17-0, wins on some bad game management from Auburn... And the line falls to -2.5.

Strange. Very strange. Everybody is saying they expect this game to be a rock fight, but I just don't think LSU is very good.

If our defense continues to struggle and look clueless, then I expect a close game. But I wouldn't at all be shocked if we force 3-4 punts in the first half and all the sudden the game is over in the 3rd quarter.

28 days = 4 weeks, you just quoted me saying Tua played 27 days later...

Tua had tightrope surgery twice for two different high ankle sprains. The first one was at the end of the 2018 season and he played in his next game which happened to be 28 days later. The second one he received against Tennessee and he started against against Joe Burrow and LSU exactly 21 days (minus a few hours) later. In 2019 Alabama actually had a bye week 2 weeks after the injury, so we don't even know what his availability was prior to 21 days.

The line was Tennessee -4.5 this summer. I don't think it has moved all that much considering it settled and stayed at -3

Can we all agree that if the unthinkable happens and we lose on Saturday, it's all Glitch's fault for starting the game thread?


He would have to be banished to the FF.

I never saw it @ -5.5. Highest early line I saw was a -4.5 open, the others were -3.5. Irregardless, it still moving the wrong way. I guess the affect of LSU's game and our bye week are the reasons.

“It’s fairly amazing to see the fact that you can get a player back doing things within three to four weeks sometimes that would typically have taken eight to 12 weeks.”

From the article...still doesn't say 2-3 weeks.

Also:

All of the players have been able to get back in four weeks or less, including Tagovailoa when he returned to play against Oklahoma just 27 days after surgery on his other ankle.

So unless my math is off 27 days is just a day short of 4 weeks.

Akron was on 9/17, assuming Tillman had the surgery on Monday 9/19 he's in week 2 of recovery, but again I don't know what day he had the surgery so just speculating. Either way Bama would be around 4 weeks and the most likely earliest game he would return for.

F Akron.... again. Word needs to get out about this since they did it to Auburn as well apparently last season.. Don't schedule and pay these F'ers... they don't get that big payout because of their rep, then things might change...

a little recency bias and playing at Tiger Stadium....it's a noon game so maybe they think that's bad for us losing an hour going to central time? dunno. i do know we practice in the morning, so getting up and getting ready to play won't be a problem for this group.

and there's just the brand recognition....LSU won a national title 2 years ago and was one of hte best teams ever. surely 2 years later, with is what may will consider a better coach, they can't be worse than Tennessee who has sucked out loud for decades now......

i am not surprised by the line. i was a little surprised that the FPI predictor picked LSU. but i'm not sure what all goes in to that, so i'm leaning toward not caring.

i don't think anyone should be 'shocked' at the outcome no matter who wins. LSU's defense isn't terrible. and their front 7 is comparable with some good ones. their secondary isn't what we're used to seeing at LSU.

i'm just not scare of LSU. good team. but 100% gettable.

I have been looking up predictions for the Tennessee and lsu game and it’s kinda funny. Most are Tennessee but the ones that pick lsu are the exact same. Like copy and paste word for word prediction. They have the exact same score and same prediction. So basically I have only seen one prediction for lsu to win, it’s kinda funny
