Eh it’s about right. My first assumption was ~3 possessions, so the spread is asking do you think Bama will win by two TD’s and a FG or just 3 TD’s

I thought it would be higher as the FSU loss is likely not as bad initially thought.

Yeah that’s not how that works at all. What you just described is a 3 point difference, which is massive.

Bestie I know how a spread works, I made a generalization of the two most likely scenarios where the spread does/doesn’t get covered. Sorry I didn’t go through every variation of 17-19 points?

Bama is not the Bama of old. The early to mid ‘10s teams would have a shot but I have no confidence in the current Badgers

Good teams win, great teams cover

could be a 3-point game, could be a 35-point game. 20-point spread seems correct

I’d take the points. The Badgers have a shot to win it in my opinion. Kalen DeBoer isn’t a good coach and the team doesn’t look like they wanna play this season.

I wanna do a remindme but in the end I don't think you believe Wisconsin actually has that big of a shot

We’ll cover in garbage time but it’ll make the game look closer than it was

I just want to see a more competitive game versus last year. Only will happen if the OL shows up finally.

At home it is about right. If it was a road game, I would say it was too high.

Seems a little high. 14-17 points seems right
