Here’s another gem I’m betting (again, I suck, so if you fade, you get rich).. 

Tennessee +17  Wut???

So Gus bus is just gonna waltz into the locker room and figure out a way to be a decent coach? Lmfao, nope. 
He’s already lost this team. And Jeremy Pruit will send a hit squad after Stidham all game (knowing AU has NO run game)..
Stidham has an NFL future, and will not waste that on Gus and this busted offense. He will not sit behind that terrible OL and take shots all day. He will get rid of the ball early, and protect himself (as he should do) and AU will lean on their defense to win this game. 

UTk will try to do what Miss St did. Milk the clock and wear that def out. For AU to give up gut runs of 200yds to Miss St (a 1 dimensional team) tells you all you need to know. This team is losing its composure, and it will only take 1 good early drive from UTk to start the fire. I think AU wins, because UTk can’t get thru a game without 3 turn overs. But, it will be on the leg of Carlson in a low scoring shet fest of a game. 
23-13 Barn..

Tenn +17 bigly 
Under ‘whatever’ yuge
AU TT under
Tenn TT under

Gsp prime would have a chance but Khabib has taken an Olympic wrestler down like 20 times in a fight , he’s another level with his control, like a blanket on those guys

He’s beatable though with correct strategy, Khabib leaves his chin exposed often,  Conor would beat him if they fought a year from now I think because he would dedicate everything to it, Conor was drinking whiskey all week, too much self belief , just not caring, making bank 

Conor has best hands & movement in mma but he’s got to use it & not just charge at Khabib , he sat back vs Alvarez & countered him, that’s his game , he countered Aldo

He charged at Diaz first fight, gassed, lost 

He has weak coaching & wrong approach to some fights but he’s so talented he finds a way 

If he trained with AKA (Khabib’s team in USA) he would dominate everyone 

that one style of Khabib is the kryptonite though or a Diaz brother that has a head like a rock, can’t knock those savages out, you have to out point them 

GSP was considered one of the best wrestlers in his weight class if he would have went Olympic ....he trained for most of his fights with top Olympic wrestlers from his weight class, up to two below and 2 above so he could learn every tactic opposing both speed and power. I live near Couture's top gym in T.O. and have had this discussion many times....Khabib's group has studied what GSP did to handle every Muay Thai/Karate/Wrestling technique like he did...so that controlling the ground from back or on top controlled your opponent. Frankly, I am not sure who would win....but would lean GSP in his prime. My neighbour is 51 and trained-fought with top MMA in early century and he believes Khabib fought the fight Saturday almost precisely as GSP did in technique.
Proving is hard. Talk is easy.

Bama update::::

Diggs (Bama top corner) broke his foot in last game vs Arky. He’s out indefinitely!! That leaves Bama with Surtain Jr (true freshman) and Savion Smith (rookie transfer).. Smith started the season opposite of Diggs at Corner, got burnt badly a few times, and the last time was the first play in Ole Miss game, saban yanked him and put Surtain in and he’s done great so far. The communication is gonna be a major problem in the DB.. I expect to see Saban play more zone, with 2 high safeties , and force throws in front. 
This is the worst possible player to lose on defense, outside of Mack Wilson. So this defense just got a bit worse. 

The good news...
Saban will score more points with Tua and offense to give his defense enough room to help them grow. He doesn’t trust his kickers, so he will go for it on 4th & 5 or less when in the red zone, or outside the 25yd line. 


The bad news...
This news doesn’t make that line vs Mizzu look great anymore. I have a feeling if / when Bama has a 14 point lead, Saban will run the rock to choke the clock to keep his defense on the bench. Bama has 7 TDs this season in 30 seconds or less. So a quick score is no problem. But it is a major problem for his defense or the perception of his defense. Also, Saban will play A LOT of players on defense to build more depth.  Saban hates this fast break offense. He is a defensive mind and wants to score enough to hold the other team to a goose egg. So I wouldn’t be surprised to see 2-3 quick scores, then a clock choking, sloooooow, running game plan from there. A back door Mizzu cover would be in play IMO.

Saban needs a close one in order to get the troops in shape, he was serious about his concerns but those kids don't hear any of that when they have 65 pts on the scoreboard.  There will be a tester in the regular season, is it this week or next?  Mizzou is a pretty good candidate for the role.  Gonna need to be able to pass, so Miss St is out.

 Bama defense is not the same defense we are accustomed to...and for many reasons... First, you are correct... Bama has 7 scoring drives in 30 seconds or less... and 15 more scoring drives in less than a minute... That forces defense to stay on field much more than they are used to...  Another reason is that they are just really young in linebackers and secondary... Linebackers have looked really confused at times in zone defense...mental breakdowns in passing off or picking up their man...  Secondary has played better than I thought they would up to this point, but now with the injuries, depth is going to be a huge factor...  I would also assume that playing with the intensity and fire isn't as easy when you are beating everyone by so much.... Defensive stats are skewed due to Bama 2nd and 3rd stringers giving up end of game scores, but overall, this isn't a defense that is going to shut teams down...but again, they don't have to, with an offense that could score 70 on anyone.

I’d without a doubt say that is just the way things can happen, your ability to see things doesn’t change because of start time of a game 

Maybe try being more selective with your choices & see if that helps, you do seem to bet nearly every game in every sport every day, I’ve never met a human being that can do that & WIN in the long term, I’m referring to say a decade of betting, not a year or two when speaking of long term

you have a nice read of football stuff but I’d keep it to just that & I think you can come out ahead most years

Mack Wilson has Reuben Foster speed, but he can’t recognize the plays.. he gets lost in pass coverage and RPOs. Saban will have a heart attack before seasons end over this defense being out of place. He will never suck up his pride and simplify the defense though. He believes the more they struggle, the faster they learn. Who am I to second guess the GOAT..? You will see a MAJOR improvement coming this week in Run defense though. He knows how to fix that quickly.

I like this idea of the Hoo Crew joining forces with the Trainiacs, but feel robbed of a clever Train thread title.

Love the Utah St pick!  Without Amari Rogers, UNLV cannot move the ball and Utah St is on another level this year.
