This is about the oddest line ive seen. The undefeated number one team in the nation hailing from the SEC no less is a 10 point dog on a neutral field against a team that lost at home to a very average opponent.

What part am I missing?

I will be playing Florida -10 because I think they win it by at least 20. They are going to be trying to assure themselves one of the top two spots in the BCS. I'd think that a win over Alabama would jump them over Texas and set them up to play in Miami against Oklahoma after the Sooners beat Missouri.

We had a lot of injuries yesterday at Doak, King. I think we win, but it won't be easy.

..and they have a habit of getting penalties(many) that thwart their scoring.
Gators win without mistakes.

LOL. I feel bad for you Gator fans. KG is never right in football picks and he knows it.

Remember, football isnt just about how much you can score.

in 92 Bama was #1 overall defense in the country and was 8 pt dog to the Ole Ball Coach's gators in the SECCG. then 10pt dogs to the gangster canes in the Sugar Bowl in the NC. ask the canes who that turned out. gino torretta ducks and hides to this day when he sees Crimson.
i'm Not saying this Bama team is as good as 92 because they are not BUT i'll be Shocked IF fla blows them out.

with all due respect... its not like Oregon State had a terrible season. Dont they only have four losses, three to ranked teams (PSU, Utah and the Ducks).. and two of those teams are BCS bound (PSU & Utah).

It was a weird loss for USC.. but OSU is a solid team.
