He hedged worse than Gabby does the A&M game. Took us because of the spread vs OSU, picked them to win.
He’s a big SEC shill lately, always given us our flowers though to be fair. I do also think the closer this gets to the game, more media types will pick us. You’ll have the mouth breathers like Will Compton picking IU big, but if there was a prop bet on who Saban picks, I’d sell all my assets he picks us.
But I put little in what Pate says on the field. Always says safe answers and just leans towards a metric. I think his SEC ties are gonna bleed into this pick. A strong Big Ten is bad business for him. Them winning three in a row would bother him badly.
