Took ALABAMA - 17 (buy 1/2 down to 17) @BetOnline--------No "Johnny Football" today for A&M. Aggies will find out this might be Nick's best team since being at Alabama, as they get better and better. Tide will be in The National Championship Game at season's end and Aggies will be in some little bowl and it won't be on New Years Day. If ever Alabama was the premier example of "the team concept", this Tide team is it. Alabama plays every week like a well oiled machine, and A&M will not have the defense to stop the Tide from hanging at least 38 on the board. Bama defense at home simply does not give up double digits often, and it won't be today! My prediction: ALABAMA 42 - TEXAS A&M 9.
Took OLE MISS +8 (buy 1/2 up to 8) @BetOnline*********Interim Coach Ed Orgeron will face his first real test since relieving Les Myles. One thing is for sure, since the days of Ole Miss QB Archie Manning and Coach Johnny Vaught, the Rebels always bring a solid QB to Baton Rouge. As always this year's OLE MISS QB is well respected and can light up the scoreboard vs. anyone. The average fan, will not accept the fact that L.S.U.'s lack of a true QB, combined with a team that is so confused , they play defense like its a "chinese fire drill." Well, this is OLE MISS, and the hatred and rivalry is as deep as it gets. Go back and look at this game over the years, its always close. Today will be no different. I look for Ole Miss to cover and also give them a excellent chance to win straight up. Coach Orgeron better realize, that being a nice guy won't win this game. This game might be the one that keeps Orgeron from having no chance of getting the Head Coaching job next year at L.S.U. Prediction: OLE MISS 31 - L.S.U 28
