Doesn't matter who wins in the trenches huh? wow.
Hurts practices every day against Bama defense, and also played against LSU Auburn defenses,,,2 pretty good ones themselves, but Clemson going to hit him harder? How?

You think Saban would let his QB in practice take potential career ending shots in practice? Don't try and sell that. In game is totally different than practice!!

Vegas puts out a line to get 50/50 action, you think they are not going to get it? 57% on Clemson and the line dropped right after it opened and it has crept up w/Bama money coming in, where the smart money is no one really knows, but you'll see this line move 1 to 1 1/2 pts before game time on the side and the total has gone down 2 points there.

Line up both teams, position by position, experience if need be and this is the 2nd time Dabo's been in a National Championship and came up 5 points short last year vs Heisman winner Henry and a different offense than what Bama's shown this year. While the "D" might be stronger, their schedule this year was weaker than last year and I'd say Clemson's schedule was slightly better.

Not trying to persuade one way or the other, just stating info that one must look at before making a wager is all!!

Good luck!

Sag ranking on Schedules, Bama is #2 overall, played and beat 8 teams in the Top 30, 3-0 vs Top 10, who's really in the top 10? Does it matter now? Because they weren't at the end of the year.

Clemson #10 overall schedule, beat Top 30 teams 6-0, and 2-0 vs Top 10 teams.

Line should have opened much higher for Bama based on Sag ranking, 7 pts, and if oddsmakers were confident Bama would beat Clemson by more than 7, that line would have opened slightly higher than 6 or 6 1/2, more like 8 or 8 1/2 to get tons of early money on Clemson.

Again, we'll see around 10:45 pm EST, Monday, January 9th what happens.

Bill,,AINT no way in HELL Saban lets Hurts get hit in practice!!!,,This kid gets hurt and he may very well have to call me to come in and hand the ball off cause our backups have either left or retired,,,I was just responding to a comment that said Hurts hasn't been hit all year like Clemson was going to hit him,,,
