Buy/Sell-Favorites against Auburn.

[rugbdawg]

By game time, we will be favorites against Auburn on a Thursday night. I'm buying. Statistically, early Thursday night games point to a home team victory. I think the line will reflect that although it could possibly be a pickem.

I dont see it being less than that by gametime- especially after they hammer their opening day opponent

They're a top 25 team and we're not even sniffing it right now. Unless we demolish Memphis and they have trouble against Arky State, they will be a low-to-mid-single-digit favorite.

The flood gates of betting would overflow Vegas if we open up giving up points to Auburn.</p>

Our game against Memphis and theirs against Ark St. (likely big wins for both) won't do anything to alter anyone's preseason perception of us or them. Given that I believe the only way we would be a favorite is if somehow Ark. St. beat them or took them to the wire and I don't see that happening.

I think if we cover against Memphis(which I think we will), I could see the line at 9.5 maybe...

 

[GroveHard]

what? No way will Auburn be favored by 9.5 unless there are a ton of injuries.

[Coach34]

not sure where it will go from there, but it won't go to 9.5 unless Relf gets hurt vs Memphis

but a lot of doubt whether they'll win. This would be a good game to bet on the Bulldogs. Easy for me to say since I don't bet.

We will have to come out and destroy Memphis from the start, and AU will have to struggle for it to be any closer. Listening to an interview with Jackie today sheared a little wool about our offense. He said we will not be able to replace the hole AD left, and only one wide receiver has stood out to him. Our defense on the other hand could be special.

if auburn gets to more than 3, i will tell you to jump all over it....

home team dogs in big games will cover more times than not...

I do think we have a good chance in this game, but the rest of the country doesn't.
