We are 17 point dogs. That works out to Bama having a ~90% chance of winning.
Yes, they are more talented and better coached. But we are strong where they are not - continuity of staff and returning production. They can get got.
Alabama 110th in returning production?! I know they recruit and are deep as ****, but ****... we get them game 1 on a neutral? Aside from an injured King, you couldn’t ask for it to set up any better.
Powers is a tout, but he knows CFB as well as anyone out there. Does it 365 days a year.
Notable:
-dogs in 2 games (+17 vs Bama, +2 @ UNC)
-double digit favorites in every other game except 1 (-6 @ Pitt)
