The opening spread for this game is giving State 28 points...I would take that bet everyday of the week. I really think that State has a hell of a chance to play spoiler and beat Bama at their place. Bama stumbled a bit when they played Ole Miss this year and they have not faced another tough defense since, State has a very good defense that is 9th in the nation when it comes to stopping offenses. They are allowing on average 14.4 points per game.
They have been averaging about 37 points per game on offense, however to be fair they have not faced a defense like Bama's yet.
They have only one common opponents at this point, namely Tennessee, and State won 41-31 , compared to Bama winning 44-13.
I don't know, maybe it is just wishful thinking but I'm feeling a upset coming on.
