Any opinion on FIU getting 34 @ 'Bama?

I think Mario's got this program on the move and they should keep it with 4 TD's...

    Not SB, but I follow Bama pretty closely and I almost played FIU+34. GL

    Thanks, I don't see "Bama trying to run the score up and score 50 pts. If FIU gets 2 TD's, I think they will, easy cover.

    I think everyone will agree that if FIU gets two touchdowns they will cover. That is an awfully big "if" though.

    Might want to check the status of the Bama players because a couple have the flu and have not not checked the status today.

    The one thing that usually works in big dogs favors in this situation may not work so well in this game. Bama has had such an recent influx of young talent and they will certainly be giving 100% when they get their shot in the second half. I think if FIU gets 10, they should have a legitimate shot to cover. The yardage will need to come through the air to Ty Hilton (I believe) as FIU has little to no chance of moving the ball on the gorund, even against Bama's reserves. The 2 Deep on Bama's DL has an NFL calibur player at every position and the LB's are the same way. The real question will be in the secondary. I think that's the one area where Bama needs more help in the future and have recruited accordingly last year and for the 2010 class. Bama is one of the worst home favorites in the nation this past decade, at 19-31 ATS. I don't expect the hangover to be as bad post-VT as it was post-clemson where it took 2 special teams TD's to beat Tulane 20-6. There is no way in the world I would ever consider laying this number with Bama and I think FIU is the winning ticket in thsi situation - more often than not.

    I came very close to pulling the trigger on FIU +34. But the fear of them being shutout, or held to a FG scared me to bad. I am playing the under in this one. I see something in the range of 35-3.
