Does Sheridan hold that much weight with Vegas?

According to Scoresandodds.com our line is down to 5.5. It has to be either what Sheridan said today or maybe Cox not playing.

Also the handicapper on bill king said to take auburn. I think a lot of the "experts" are saying this, so the people appear to be listening.

I do not see how they get ot 8 wins at this point without beating us.</p>

Now, just yesterday weren't all of the experts picking us?

I just don't see it after watching their OL and DL against USU. That's why I laugh when I read their fans saying "quick players" blah blah blah. Bottom line is they got handled up front on both sides of the ball.

...a lot of bettors are taking the defending champs, at home, against Mississippi State AND points so the line is trending downward.<div>
</div><div>Never forget Vegas' goal is to get the same amount of money on both sides.</div>

I was listening to Paawl Finebaum today and I think Sheridan said Mullen is 2-8 in the SEC West with the 2 wins over Mississippi. MSU is a good team but until they beat someone other than UM in the west MSU an unproven commodity.

our team under Mullen really hadn't developed to the point to beat teams the quality of what's in the SEC West right now outside of OM (all Top 15 type teams). This is also the first time I believe we've been favored over any team in the SEC West other than OM. As has been mentioned a Dan Mullen coached MSU team has yet to lose to a team they are favored over.

Once the Smart Money betters place their bets, the lines move immediately. The Casinos know who these guys are and they are usually right. I think we win the game, but probably not by 7 either.
