I am OK with the national media picking against us this week. Of course they pick against us every week, but this is different because, unlike Bama, LSU, and aTm, we have CONFIDENCE against OM. We have won 3 in a row against them and our players go in this game thinking they will and should win, while, after the last 3 years, OM is hoping they win. They are hoping that all their moral victories=beating MSU.

Due to this, maybe the OM moral victory love feat will give us the psychological edge we need to do this. Our players get to play as the underdog this week, but also with the confidence and belief of victory that is normally held by the favorite. There really isn't any better psychological circumstance you can have.

I hope our players are hearing about this and laughing.

This is one of those cases where the more disrespected we are...

the more likely we are to win IMO. We are already motivated and people picking the Bears to win will just make our team even more determined.

They might have been an underdog against Auburn, I don't remember. The other times they were an underdog, they got killed.

The game opened up at Pick'em- and that is with the home team getting 3 points...we are hardly the underdog

Obviously I'm talking about games where it is close on paper.....

@ Alabama and @ LSU were hardly winnable games.

Just right off the top of my head, Auburn and Tennessee. We may not have been the Vegas dog in those games, but we weren't expected to win. I don't know the situation with Texas A&M, but I remember thinking we should win that game, and guess what? I have that same feeling about Ole Miss, and I'm usually right.

Outside of the 5 obvious and Arkansas, who else did they pick us to beat?

When we went 7-0 the media was almost rooting against us. I'm not talking about local, I'm talking national. They always struggle with Auburn, TN has too much offense, blah blah.
