Mack, not trying to put you on the spot...but if you had to bet your farm on the title
game, who would you pick.
Gang has always valued your opinion.
Clover; By now you know, I never post selections here on the Rx College Forum; I leave that up to the younger guys that have a better handle on college football today (21st century x's and o's). But, since you have been one of the major contributors to this forum who's opinions I hold in high regard, here goes:
I am going to place a small wager on the Alabama Crimson Tide and lay the 4 points, the number my "local" has it at. This is going to be a great college football game, these two teams have survived the rigors and pains of a long 14 game season (ouch) and there will be no need for pre-game locker-room pep talks by the coaches.......the adrenaline will be flowing at a high level.
Can Georgia win this game ? Hell yes , they are a well-coached team that just came off a big win against a very good Oklahoma team led by a Heisman QB.
(We all know that game could have gone either way). Their RB's have the potential to break a game wide open on any given play. Here's where Saban and his defensive staff comes in: They have been viewing the videos night and day resulting in the game becoming a defensive battle of attrition (low scoring).
I could easily see a 24-17 final.
Many years ago, an old-time sports bettor told me to NEVER use lasts weeks performances as your main criteria when handicapping a football game; It still makes sense today. Good luck.
