There are mismatches for both Tennessee and Alabama.

For Tennessee, it has the edge in the trenches with a good pass rush against a suspect OL. Tennessee is also very good on the OL in pass protection and run blocking and Alabama is ranked in the bottom tier nationally in getting to the QB and sacks and tackles for loss.

For Alabama, it is one of the best nationally in explosive plays in the passing game. Grubb uses the pass to open up the running game. Tennessee’s secondary has been banged up and Grubb will look to exploit it.

Whichever team exploits the mismatches better will win the game.


I do like the fact that Tennessee may have the edge up front. That was always Alabama’s edge against Tennessee during the Saban era. Heupel and his staff have done a really good job at recruiting and developing guys on the OL and the DL. If we control the line of scrimmage and take care of the ball, we’ll have a good shot. That’s where the majority of games are won, regardless of the skill positions.

I like our chances in a shoot out.

Yeah im not finding anything downtown. Looking for like a $200 hotel just for a guy's trip 1 night. Ive stayed downtown before but dont want to spend 2 grand this time. Never rode a shuttle so dont know where to stay. Im leaning towards staying by Foothills Mall but that shuttle only starts 4 hours before kick off. We are assuming it will be a night game and would like to be on campus before the game all day if possible.

I'm going to be honest, I haven't paid less than $600 for two nights in a decent hotel for an SEC home game that's within 5-10 miles of the stadium over the last 5 years. Especially on short notice. Good luck brother.

I don't think this Gator fan understands the point Kiffin is trying to make here. And the guy is probably not going to shoot down job rumors. I'm sure he's angling for another raise. He probably will get it.

I told y'all. Sounds like a man who's been in counseling, and knows what he's got.

Offensive woes is also interesting.

I think the offense has had some issues here and there, but we're leading the SEC...

A three-and-out here and there only classifies as "woes" when you feel like you need to score every possession.

Not only that, we literally lead the nation in scoring offense lol.

Florida's new stadium project is going to reduce the capacity of The Swamp by around 4,000 when it's finished. Fans aren't happy about it.

"Project documents obtained by Swamp247 do not show an expected diminished capacity during the 2027 and 2028 seasons, though the seating quantity target is listed in 2029 as 80,895, a decrease of 6,349 seats. In 2030, upon the project's expected completion, the seating target rises to 83,096, according to the documents. Factoring in standing room only additions, The Swamp is projected to hold 84,399 in 2030."

2030 sounds like a fake year.

I may hop on that Utah State and UL with you - I’m also trying to wait out the 14 there. I also like Duke - I was wanting GT at 3 there but my book didn’t get it up until it had hit 1.5. Just gonna see if I can get Duke +money tomorrow at this point. Everything I’ve bet so far:
  • Minnesota +10 -120
  • Boise -12 -105
  • CMU +4 -115
  • South Carolina +6 -115
  • UGA u54.5 -105
  • ULM +6 -105
  • Purdue +4 -105
  • Arizona St +9 -115
  • ODU +2.5 -115
  • Utah -2.5 -120
  • ND -9.5 -105
  • Maryland +3.5 -105
  • Stanford +18 -105
Also hoping a 3 pops on LSU.

Yes I forgot about Notre dame! Think I’ll go that route with you. Seems like the books are baiting people to bet USC

South Carolina could be a live dog for sure

Also like Stanford

Really like Minnesota, South Carolina, ND.

Sorry I just doomed those picks for you.

To make up for it, I really don't like that Arizona St pick.

The 12-team playoffs and the timing of the new portal period is going to screw any school who is looking to hire a coach in the playoffs for their opening. The portal closes on Jan 16th which is 3 days PRIOR to the NC game. So any coach hired by a new school will have to somehow try to hang on to a roster at a new school AND work the portal to ADD players to that roster, all while coaching a different team in the playoffs? I was thinking specifically about Lane Kiffin and Florida which isn't going to happen for a number of reasons, but I don't think all these fan bases around the country begging their admin to hire Kiffin are thinking about this.

I'm sure it will work out somehow. I just can't see how at this point.

Right now I only have Purdue +3.5. A little timid this week. A couple weeks ago I got wreckt and last week was at the beach with no betting access.

Bear Fallica and his crew are on Vols +8.5 though 😈😈

I’ll be listening to Powers and Knish this afternoon and see if they can sway me. I do like UGA ML if I can get a good number live or in a 2 leg parlay

Things that intrigue me:
Duke ML
Utah state -4 or ML
Louisville if I can get +14
SMU looks tempting
JMU as a home dog is nice

What you thinking?

Duke is a good pick. I think they're underrated vs overrated GT. Duke QB is every bit as good as Haynes.
