Clemson +13

Over 52 1/2

I think Saben prefers a controlled, lower scoring game, no shootout. He is a control freak, That's how Saben beat Clemson last year. Dabo is a little more colorful and I think would like a shootout.

Saben came out throwing against OU because he knew he had the running game in his back pocket, at any time. I don't think he was worried OU would put much on the Scoreboard which 31-10 at the half proved.

Vs Clemson he won't have the luxury of running the ball at will, neither will Dabo. This should be lower scoring game 14-3 at the half.

Another option is

Clemson +13

Under 64.5

When Dimes had Bama at 7 i teased Clemson to 17 with a 10pt teaser.. once it went down to 5 1/2 i inserted Bama + 4 1/2 into teasers I've been building recently.. did that to hedge my Clemson 8 /1 futures

Good bets Eye, I think Clemson covers this game too. I'm just not willing to take Clemson +5. It has to be +15 or better for me.

One thing we have to ask ourselves is why did OU only score 3 points on Bama by the half? I know they would struggle to score as I mentioned in many posts leading up to the game. I was told OU has the best offense ever. Bama had never seen such a great OL as OU's and Murray was superman and their WR's were all 6'5 beasts that ran 3.8 40"s. Of course, none of that was true.

Bama practices against a better OL every day and was going to control the LOS for 60mins. My ace in the hole was Bama's running game vs OU's defense. Because of that advantage, we were getting Tua and Bama's great WR's for free.

Now its Clemson vs Bama. We don't have the advantage with Bama's run game vs Clemson as we had with OU. Saben and TUA don't either, Tua is going to have to throw the ball and gain some 1st downs with his feet in this game. He has the arm and the WR's to make the plays, but we saw him struggle with a very similar defense in the UGA game. If his ankle is not 100% and his running/passing game is off Clemson can shut Bama down.

With OU if TUA was less than 100%, he could just hand the ball off and gash OU on the ground. He won't have that option with Clemson.

With Trevor Lawrence, he is in the same boat as Tua. He cannot just hand the ball off and gash Bama on the ground for a win here. Lawrence will have to make throws in this game just like Murray had to vs Bama. I think Lawrence can make those throws better then Murray could, however, I've never seen him do it under the kind of pressure Bama is going to bring. Because Lawrence is not the runner Murray was Bama can come after him a lot more aggressively. Lawrence will struggle, however, if he really is as smart as they say he will make plays with his feet to get 1st downs. That will allow Clemson to stay within a 15 point tease I'm proposing.

If either QB gets hurt the other team is guaranteed a cover and likely the win. I'm putting my faith into a special freshman QB to keep this game within 15. I'm not willing to have the faith he can keep it within 5.

BOL been fun chatting with you guys. Some good cappers here.

Can we trust a freshman QB against arguably the best defensive mind with the best defensive players in college football? The line opened at -7 now -5 Bama, someone is moving that line, are we sure it's money pouring into Clemson?

Trevor Lawrence has not been pressured anything as he will be in this game. The ACC is not a very good league FSU, VT were both pretty bad teams. BC, NCST, Syracuse, Wake, etc not exactly recruiting hotbeds. Especially on the DL where things get done.

I'm taking Clemson more at +13.5 in a teaser. But I will not be surprised if Bama is able to rattle this guy pretty badly in this game. I'm betting he can get out of enough trouble to make some plays. Kyler Murray was unable too, but he had a sorry running game and bad defense to behind him.

I still think the odds are Bama wins this game, but Clem should be able to perform better then +13.5.

Got a little off at +15, went back for more they would only give me 13.5. 13.5 I think is okay, I think Clemson's Defense and the potential running game will slow Bama down. If I am completely wrong and Clemson is just a better team GREAT, that will be an easy win.

BOL everyone should be a great game, the 2 best teams are playing.
