Wisconsins Super Bowl they’ll play up,everyone plays up to Bama

[@reecypeecy9909]

I think bama plays down but yeah

[@chewbaka1496]

Not this year. I think Bama beats Wisconsin, though. They'd better not embarrass the SEC again with another loss to another Big 10 team. Once Bama starts playing against SEC, they're gonna struggle. I don't think they stand a chance against GA, Tennessee, or Missouri. I think there's a 50/50 chance they'll lose to Vandy this year.

@@chewbaka1496 Lol. Ur actually delusional if u think bama is losing to vandy. bama been on top for too long people always expect the fall but it never comes.

[@chewbaka1496]

@@GriffinLoveng Bama has a 50/50 shot at beating Vandy. I'm leaning towards the loss.

[@ajoflow]

So Wisconsin watched Nebraska go through 20 years of failure trying to transition from a power running team to an air raid team and said “yeah, let’s do that “.

[@fnkdtnk]

Based on what I saw against USF, if Pritchett and/or Proctor play, I think this could be a slaughter. If Pritchett and Proctor don’t play, and Fromby is in there, it could be very ugly.

[@Sneakatax90]

I hope proctor returns this game so he can prepare for georgia next week.. I think if we are healthy game ready we have a chance to beat georgia

[@CrashB111]

@@Sneakatax90 We have a Bye, not Georgia next week. Unless people get injured this week against Wisconsin, everyone should be back for Georgia in 2 week's time.

[@j.akelly9775]

Formby and Pritchett will probably both play. They were in competition for the RT spot for all of fall camp.

[@sarahcrain8083]

After Formby's performance or lack thereof last Saturday, there is no competition. ​@j.akelly9775

[@j.akelly9775]

@@sarahcrain8083 how in the world can you know that? If Pritchett couldn’t beat him out in fall camp then what makes you think that he’s so much better now? Last year everyone was saying Kayden Proctor was so bad that his back up must be better but then they put Pritchett in for him and we quickly found out why Proctor won the job. Sometimes players have bad games for whatever reason. it doesn’t mean that they’re a bad player, it just means that they had a bad game.

[@isaacvanwart-i2v]

If only it were a December playoff game at Madison and Wisconsin got a nice 14 degree day with 27 mile per hour winds and spitting ice and snow all day.

[@totalcrimson]

Bama would still win because they have the better line and backs. Let not forget milroe scramble ability.

[@DarrellVerble]

Those conditions would make it harder for Alabama to win. It would also make it impossible for Wisconsin to win. Badgers would not fare well in a run only game.

[@brandonconforto315]

@@isaacvanwart-i2v how often does it get that cold in Madison in December? I would believe January or February but inwouod think it hovers around the 30s in December

[@davidvines6498]

If you think it doesn’t get cold in Alabama, you’re mistaking

[@brandonconforto315]

@@davidvines6498 as someone who lived in North Georgia for 4 years, i can vouch for that. It also feels colder! That said the difference is that it doesn't get cold until after football season is done so players aren't used to playing in it. It doesn't start getting cold until the end of November or early December down there. I live in Ohio it starts here mid to late October here. In Wisconsin it's probably earlier so that's almost half of the football season where you play in cold, windy, and sometimes wet weather.

[@johnhyatt5936]

Bama will run the ball and out physical Wisconsin. Bamas defense shows up 24-7 Bama.

[@thumbsaloft]

No intermediate game, that is just not true about Bama. Milroe has thrown those passes in the first two games.

[@brannontroncale8488]

Everything sounds good on paper but Bama is trying to clean up a lot as well. Hope this is the week we get it together.

[@DHallCane156]

Will TVD, TVD all game? If he get's rattled, I'm guessing Alabama gets 3 or more picks in this game. I lived this story last year! TVD + Pressure = Rattled and INTs

[@scootertrash911]

I think Bama will be ahead 35-10 by the end of the half, and the Bama bench will come in and stretch the lead in the second.

[@nickinoelle5331]

I bet Fandueling people are getting nervous when Bama plays. They’re like a box of chocolates, you’ll never know what you get. As a long time fan, good or bad I’ll be cheering on. RTR and I 🫶🏼 Elephants, literally my favorite animals 😌

Def like a box of chocolates when it comes to betting. Spreads can range from -8.5 to -16.5 to -25.5 and they get everyone’s best. This game falls under that category for sure

Bama 43 v Wisconsin 12.

This is closer to my prediction. I said either 45 - 13 or 52 - 10 Bama

I hope so. I dont need no let down. Im a Texas fan btw but I'm trying to hit these parlays 😅😅

[@mikeb3936]

I think Bama covers. Last year that So Florida game was a wakeup call and they made the playoffs.

[@thedrewmackattack]

My prediction was 45-13. I wrote it in pen 2 days ago. I am not kidding y’all, if Alabama and Wisconsin made the field goals they missed (1 each), my score would have been a perfect prediction!

[@JAaronMattox]

This Wisconsin team is the type of team Bama would completely embarrass on a national stage at any point over the last 15 years

[@fermisparadox01]

Except for last year. Division 1 on the road and Milroe implodes.

[@j.akelly9775]

The last three years Bama has struggled with just about everyone on the road.

[@brandonconforto315]

@@JAaronMattox you are right but some differences. All of those games were played on neutral sites and the first game of the season. I call them the Saban blowouts(2012-2021) It was usually teams that were over-ranked to start the season too like 2012 Michigan, 2017 FSU, and 2021 Miami teams.

[@ghostkind101]

​@j.akelly9775 ooooo I forgot about this wonder if Kalen can fix it?

[@ThreadAndCircuses1]

They will do it this year, Wisconsin's interior defensive line is small, and they have nobody who can set the edge.

[@BarnesonBama]

I agree with this assessment 100% its almost exactly why I think this will be a blowout in Madison

[@CC-bm3wb]

Bama 31, Wisky 14, if Bama plays a clean game

[@handsomehebrew]

If Bama plays a clean game, they’re scoring no less than 40.

[@vinpin777]

Short and mid passing game will be what puts them over when it matters against the must win games .. but keep telling everyone he can't make those throws RTR

[@j.akelly9775]

People are going to keep saying it until he proves that he can do it consistently. A big reason for all of the pressure is because Milroe hasn’t proven that he can consistently hit a one on one fade, or short slant, or even find the safety outlet consistently. Until he proves that he can do that people are gonna keep loading the box and bringing more than they can block.

[@baldpolarbear3332]

It depends what Bama team shows up. I remember back in the day Bama looked like Georgia looks now. Doesn't matter who you're playing, it's going to be dominating football. Alabama looks like Alabama of late, either really good, or sloppy, undisciplined, non-blocking, non- running mess of a team. Against USF I was wondering where the 4 and stars were because they looked really bad. Who knows? Hopefully new coach can get some consistency back. One thing for sure, there are some really good players on this team. Too soon to know what this team becomes

Your dreaming Bama wins by 25 or more points

[@Dr_Dan7982]

If Alabama can limit the penalties and play clean football, I can see Bama winning 52-17 Alabama is gonna run more play action pass because Wisconsin likes to play a 3-3-5 and sit everyone back , Bama will run the ball and make Wisconsin DB’s come up that’s when you see Ryan Williams or who ever take the top off the defense all game

[@AnnaNoyola-k2r]

30-27

[@zachstolpa6521]

Wisconsin can win this if they can keep the bama offense off the field enough

[@yslcologneconnoisseur7473]

No way Jalen Milroe should still be struggling to hit intermediate routes in the passing game. Alabama can’t win a national championship with him as the starter. He can win some games, just not the biggest game.

[@thecrazynodak]

You really think an underdog program like Alabama can take down a juggernaut like Wisconsin? I'll believe it when I see it!

[@skat915]

Well, Wisconsin’s secondary will be aggressive with Bama’s rcvrs like what happened last week. Wisconsin has to sell out on stopping the run and make Milroe beat them throwing it. Gonna see a lot of single high combo coverages from Wisconsin on Saturday. That’s their only shot because Bama probably won’t have 13 penalties on Saturday

Wisconsin lacks the financing to run the system Fickell wants to run. Don't have the talent, scheme, or size to play with the upper level teams. Wisconsin will just hover around .500 every year and hope for a trip to Orlando every year. Looks like Badgers might keep it close in first half then get the brakes beat off them and lose by 21. Longo's last year unless they drastically improve.
