Tidewater

Good point. Louisiana Monroe came into Tuscaloosa a couple of years back and beat Alabama. Who would have believed that before that game? If you don't believe, you certainly won't win. That said, the Alabama team in 2007 and this one are not the same team. Still NT players have to believe. A 46 point spread is ridiculous. If I were inclined to place a wager, I'd take NT & the points. For an outsider, which NT player(s) should one watch on O and what defensive players bear watching?

The point spread out of Vegas is 46. I'd take NT and the points.
