CFN: Oklahoma vs Alabama Prediction: The Curveball SEC and CFP Showdown

[RollTide_HTTR]

Idk how much truth there is to it but it really does feel like we play an absurd amount of teams coming off a bye year in and year out.

Also, we NEVER get a rest advantage. Whenever we have a bye before a game the other team seems to ALWAYS also have a bye.

Anyway, I'll definitely take any win. I need us to win this game since I'm spending the whole day with my wife's family

Georgia, Missouri, USC, LSU and Oklahoma all had byes begore Bama. Auburn has a bye this week, but they will be preparing for us even with Mercer on Nov. 22.

It seems like this happens a lot too.

Both teams do usually play that late FCS matchup the same week and right before the IB but you are 100% correct they prepare for Us with that time.

In this case though yeah they will have been preparing for us for 3 weeks straight.

8-1 Mercer. I hope they lose.

I am going to go against the grain here. Many seem to think that we desperately need a ground attack vs. Oklahoma. I respectfully disagree. Last season, the Sooners ganged up on the LOS, took away the run, and dared us to pass. The problem was Milroe. Great kid, lousy passer. He had 11 completions in 27 attempts for 164 yards with 3 interceptions. Oklahoma cannot dare Ty to throw. If Ty reverts to form and they crowd the LOS he will rip them apart and THEN we will run successfully.

Given the way our defense is shaping up, I'm looking at an admittedly optimistic:
Crimson Tide 37 - Sooners 17

ROLL TIDE 4EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Exactly - including one pick six and one that was returned to the 14 resulting in a very short field TD drive.

The receivers couldn't catch the ball when it was a good throw. Bernard had a pass hit him in the facemask.
