I would think that the Tide have a chip on their shoulders from last year's loss, but I think Manziel will be big-time fired up for this one. Vegas has Alabama as an 8.5 favorite right now. I think it'll be closer than that. Tide by a field goal.

 

What say you?

I hope Alabama wins this game by 40.

I would love to say A&M wins this one but I don't see it happening. I can't remember when A&M's two defensive players come off suspension. If it is this game could make a difference but I don't think enough of a difference.

If Alabama doesn't show any more offense than it did against V-Tech then Texas A&M will win by 14. I hope it is the other way but I'm really worried.

Only time I will ever say Roll Tide. Bama by 10.

Alabama 35-27.

Bama's been waiting for this one for a year. A&M isn't going to catch them flatfooted this year. Thinking the Tide wins by 2td's.

Here's to hoping Bama shuts up Manziel.

Nick has an extra week to prepare. I'm saying

 

Roll Tide

I hope A&M wins. I want to see what Manziel will do next.

 

Plus I just like when the balance of college football is shaken up. I'll be rooting for the winner of this game to lose next week.

Just too tough to beat Saban two years in a row. Alabama wants this one badly and will be motivated.

 

When you've played at their level as consistently as they have, it's probably hard to get up for regular season games, but if they can't get up for this one, they shouldn't bother playing anymore.

I like A&M, even though I'm not a fan of their QB, and have always appreciated their traditions. That said, I think Alabama beats their brains in, both physically, but also on the scoreboard. I can't imagine A&M gets near 20, so I think Bama's 24 to 31 points will be plenty to win comfortably.

Amari Cooper says this game "is not about revenge". Do you believe him? I don't.

Bama will handle AM I think pretty easy. Nick has had this one cirlced. Plus he has had time to prepare.

Bama 35 AM-17
