Looks like we will be part of their QB experiment. Not sure if that is a good thing or bad.

I think 38 is good line. Bama typically has a game against a G5 / FCS a year when lack of focus or rotating players keeps the score closer & by closer I mean within 3 to 5 TDs. If Bama is clicking at all or CRS has his typical first game performance, we will lose by 50+.

We played within 27 in 2015 against one of their national champion teams. Maybe that happens again.

Our luck, the UTM Coach’s son, Ty Simpson from Martin Westview, will have a breakout game and hang 50 on Stock.

If we are going to score against Alabama's defense our best opportunity will probably be in 1st half. Our smaller offensive line will likely be exhausted by Bama pressure by mid 3rd quarter. On a positive note MT has been pretty good at creating turnovers. We may have a chance to get a turnover or two early on. This is considered to be Alabama's weakest qb situation in years. Looking for a possible pick.
Prediction: 28-10 by halftime, possibly 28-14 with the benefit of a turnover. By the 4th Bama's power takes over, final score 49-14.

This is pretty much how I see it. I’ll take the under on 38.

Honestly, they can probably just run Milroe and beat us by 50. Our history with very mobile QB's is not the best.

All signs point to an Alabama cover. They have shredded and covered the line against small schools like us recently.

I’d rather face Bama early opposed to later in the year

The way Stock's first games go, I agree. I wouldn't mind having Mizzou later in the year though.

Line inched to -39

Stupid bet. You can take that 75K and collect more in interest between now and gameday than the payout of the bet ($75,000 to win $300)

You can't fix stupid.

Bets like that aren't really made for a profit. But it does show cash played for whatever rewards program you are a member of, in this case Caesar's "Total Rewards". It is a way to keep their elevated status for comps, etc.

I just don't think the juice is worth the squeeze on that one.
