on a serious note, first off no bookmaker in Vegas, offshore or Local is in business of giving away money. So yeah Alabama has a shot and this 2008 team is a lot like the 1992 team that won it all.
Alabama can play defense.
Alabama Tackles well.
Alabama can run the ball.
Now those 3 things mixed up with a few more things the tide do well can make the difference.
Fla gets alot of yards after the catch - due mainly to some poor tackling.
Fla defense slows down most teams abillity to run due to the defensive line they have. Alabama's offensive line is bigger and stronger than any line the gators have played thus far.
Tim Tebow is great because of his abillity to run or pass, Alabama's Pressure will force him to throw more to a better defense and turnovers will be a key.
But the biggest key is special teams... Edge goes to Arenas and the Tide.[/QUOTE]
- i agree with a lot of that except the last part. There is a big edge on special teams to the Gators. Javy is great though but overall it is not close.
of course he is never on a dogRandizzle is on Florida, game over. I liked Florida in this game before he released his pick on them, because I simply cant see Bama being able to match score for score with Tebow and the rest of the crew. IT SHOULD NOT BE TAKEN LIGHTLY THAT THIS GAME WILL BE PLAYED ON TURF IN THE GEORGIA DOME, THAT WILL FAVOR FLORIDA GREATLY AS THEY HAVE MUCH MORE SPEED THAN BAMA.
Key to this game is taking Tebow out of the game, and if he tries and run the ball on Bama he will be pull off on a stretcher. I hope it doesnt happen but he will not run the ball against Bama's defense or he will suffer from it. Bama will close up around the tackles where Tebow is use to running the ball and it will be katey bar the door.
saban = sleazebag
No way in Jesus Christ HELL does Nick Saban let Florida run up the score. The pointspread is CRAZY!!!
Coin, where in the world are you getting Florida at -7.5? That's a far better number than anyone here has gotten.
the funny thing is all of the bama supporters talk about what tebow won't be able to do because saban won't allow it.
for two plus years now coaches have wanted to stop this guy, but now saban is gonna be able to do it?
i think he has the know how, but not the players.
i would look at the Georgia game bama supporters... they both played GA at GA and one team gave up 30, the other gave up 10.

Did you watch the Alabama UGA game. If UGA was a wounded animal they would have shot it halftime to show mercy.
Common scores and how Team A performs vs Team D, compared with Team B against Team D is not relevant.
Many people want to dismiss what Bama did to UGA. Also, Bama destroyed Clemson's season right at the start.
