Could we win by 14+?

How likely for us to win big...
How likely is it that Bama wins big?

Neither likely IMHO

My take is this game will be lower scoring than the previous two games as both teams play relatively conservative. I favor the under and project a game with the Tigers winning by 3-4 points.

My take is yes , more than 14 .Their guys will be so high strung they will be making mental errors, getting penalties and arguing with coaches .
Their plan is to make TLaw one dimensional . Our plan is to make Bam Bam ,O diminsional .

I agree with the first statement...

but I strongly disagree with the second. I've been calling for a 17 point win but it will be down and dirty for four full quarters. Bama will make mistakes but it won't be due to their overconfidence or cockiness.

We're not beating Bama by 14+
When's the last time ANYONE beat Bama by 14+? Their offense is too good to get down by that much.

I just looked at Bama’s seasons under Saban. He has never lost by more than 14 points at Bama. The last time he lost by as much as 14 points in a game that counted (so excluding the meaningless 2013 bowl game he called a consolation price his players weren’t interested in) was in 2010.

Yes. Bama is due and we are ready. Do not be surprised when we win by more than 14.

And we have beaten everyone we've played by double digits this year . Bama hasn't played a team like Clemson this year .
I believe as Dabo and some of the players have said " we still haven't played our best game yet ".
I believe they are awfully close .

We haven’t played a defense like Bama’s yet either. I hope y’all are right and it’s a big win. These 2 senior classes have 54 and 53 wins. I’m guessing it’s going to be a close great game with the difference being Trevor throwing to our big body WRs will go win the game. The Bama WRs are smaller than our corners so depending on the zebras we can play physical and have the advantage. Just my thoughts.

They played UGA which is a very fine team.

That Jake Fromm state farm is one fine QB. We are much better than UGA and Trevor is a notch or two above Fromm.

We didn't beat Texas A&M or Syracuse by double digits.

I just don’t see it. I think we can win but if so it won’t be by much. Bama O is just too good. I think we score points but even with our D, it’s going to be really hard to stop them.

I could see us winning by more than 14. I could see us losing by more than 14. Nobody knows what will happen. Who knows?

I have to agree with what you are saying I think we could beat them by 2 scores but I also think they could beat us by 2 or 3 scores if things started falling in place for either team.

I think it's going to be a close game, but if it's a blowout
Jan 7, 2019, 8:29 AM

i think, unfortunately, we will be on the receiving end of it.
This is the list of games Saban has lost by more than 1 possession in his 12 seasons at Alabama.
2017 Auburn - lost by 12
2013 Oklahoma (Sugar Bowl) - 14
2010 South Carolina - 14
2008 Florida - 11
2008 Utah (Sugar Bowl) - 14
That's only 3 regular season / BCS / CFP games in 12 years. They just don't get blown out. They are in every game. Add to that this is probably the best team he's had to date at Alabama.
I think we are capable of winning by 10-14 if everything breaks right, but i also think we could lose by 3-4 TDs if things snowball in the other direction.

I think his 2011 team was the best he’s ever had. Statistically, it’s the best defense of all time. LSU had beaten 8 or 9 ranked teams (a record), including the winners of the PAC 10 and Big East, each by 20 or more points. Bama beat them 21-0 in the title game.
