Congratulations To Alabama
2009-2010 BCS National Champions
We were on the Tide last night on the ML, but were also on the Under (46). Ironically, the Colt McCoy situation wound up costing us our total play!! The cheap score right before the half caused by Garrett Gilbert, McCoys replacement, really set the stage for the game to go over... BOTH defenses were awesome... just as we thought...

Here's what we told everyone about this years' BCS Championship game...

Alabama (ML) -180 / Texas 8:00 ET 2 Units
Alabama 37 Texas 21 Winner
Under 46 Texas / Alabama 2 Units
Alabama 37 Texas 21 Lose
We'll play the money line here giving us many more ways to win and when looking at the big picture, the extra lay on the price is justifiable. We're risking 2 Units at -180 to win +1.11 Units, the same amount that a 1.25 Units risk at -4 would yield. We just don't like to have to lay more than a FG in a game we feel will be a very tight defensive game. If we're correct here with the game staying Under and the Tide coming away with the national title, we'll make +2.93 Units for our 4 Units risked instead of +3.64 Units had we laid the points... not too far off AND we don't have to worry about covering -4.

Both teams really are fortunate to be here. Texas pulled off a last second win over Nebraska and Alabama you'll remember blocked a FG against Tennessee to win 12-10 back in October and then on the last game of the regular season the Tide had to come from behind on the road to beat Auburn 26-21 by scoring in the last 2 minutes (as -10 point chalk). We're siding here with the more complete team. Texas' offensive line will not have an answer for the Alabama defense and Nick Saban will be well aware of the efficiency of the Texas pass defense, so you're sure to see a predominate ground game from Alabama which of course favors the under and at the same time limits the number of snaps for Colt McCoy and the Texas offense. -END
