I see that Cincinnati has another football giant to try to slay this weekend.

 

[tatedog]

I can't wait to pull for underdog Cincinnati to beat USF by 25 or more.

I like the Pitt/UNC under 73' after UNC and Wake put up 113 points yesterday.

 

[thatsbaseball]

LOL I know what you mean but aTm at -1 is damn tempting.

 

[oxfordrebel22]

Take A&M guys.. when you win, put a point in my favor for when I say something goofy later. But there’s absolutely no way this Ole Miss offense, with these significant injuries, can move the ball on their defensive front. And we gave up 250+ rushing yards to Liberty. Isaiah Spiller will be a problem..

With Gameday being there it’ll obviously be a big day, and I’m sure we’ve got some guys who will try and go. But we are down our top 3 guards. Our top TE. And 4 of our top 5 WR’s, maybe the top 4 period. And Corral is clearly struggling to run. We haven’t scored in a 2H in 2 straight weeks.

I’m not telling you to bet your mortgage on it. Because I’d love to be wrong, and have been plenty before. But it will be way higher than -1 by kickoff. So I’d bet it now. Im good at betting Ole Miss, and I would personally take A&M (and I will bet them) up to -7. Im afraid it’ll be something like 38-20.

You're on a board of MSU fans. Do you really think we don't know a reverse jinx attempt when we see one?

 

[o_dawgnabit]

A&M -1 looks too easy. Don’t know how ole miss slows down their running game or how ole miss can score enough against their d. Their offense struggled against Liberty

 

[was21]

OXR22, you may remember that you were called out about the reverse jinx gig stance...it's old now...doesn't work..just words...you might sell that stuff in cajun louisiana if you were a coonass...voodo dolls and all that shat

Ole Miss has never beaten A&M in Oxford.

You are due.

Nice reverse reverse jinx.

 

[oxfordrebel22]

I am flattered at the intelligence some of you seem to think I possess. I was being 100% serious in telling you all to take A&M -1. As it’s now jumped to -3. I love Ole Miss. But I also watch them. And we are struggling right now, compared to what we have been.

I bet $100 on A&M -1 yesterday, and I hope like hell I lose it.

 

[was21]

Then you are not only a reverse jinx gig guy but also a traitor and possibly worse for betting against your own team hoping you lose the bet and your $100

IF Corrall is not too gimpy and your offensive line can at least slow their Defensive Line you can have a field day with their pass defense. Their defense is the only thing between them winning the SEC West. It's too inconsistent.

Home game late November and ranked in the top ten? The only reason odds are where they are it's because Vegas can't decide if your quarterback is really hurt or not.

You have some quick guys in several positions but you do not have a go to guy at wide receiver. You have some really talented guys there but you don't have a down and dirty we need 15 yards on third down guy. Like Elijah Moore or A.J Brown.

It's really going to be interesting game as much as I hate to say it

Let me start by saying that I genuinely appreciate you trying to be unbiased (which is hard, for real) and have a fair conversation about the game. With that said, I know many on here feel like I’m trying to be overly negative about the game. And maybe I am, but if I am, it’s not a conscious thing. But on the flip side, it sounds like you’re trying to be overly optimistic towards Ole Miss, or maybe you’d say overly pessimistic about Texas A&M’s chances? I don’t know..

Let me ask this question- with MSU playing the same time as Ole Miss so often, have you actually watched OM much the last 3 weeks? The reason I ask, is because the injury talk isn’t trying to set up excuses. It’s because we are pretty horrible in certain spots, offensively. And all that’s before even considering Corral being hobbled. This may come across as a humble brag, but I don’t mean it that way.. but Ole Miss coming through its last 5 games at 4-1 is fairly incredible. And it took some luck.

I hope you’re right, but I’m truly not trying to do a reverse jinx. I’m not dumb enough to think it would matter if I did try. Nothing we post on here will impact a thing, so I’m just saying you’ve got a very favorable line you can all get some good value on. Ole Miss may cover it, but the odds aren’t good. If I told you you could bet $100 on hitting heads 4 out of 10 times, you’d bet it.

The way this season has gone for the SEC and college football at a whole, except for Vandy on one end and GA on the other, anything in between can happen and will happen this week. Anyone can beat anyone.

I record every ole miss game to watch late Saturday if I can't watch it live. I also record our next opponent if possible. I also record big games to if it conflicts with State.

I would like to change our last five games for their last five games. Seriously if we played their schedule we would probably be 10-1. And they've struggled with the last few opponents who are not that good. There one claim to fame is that they beat Notre Dame early in the season… Really?

I actually have watched you guys and Texas A&M play several times this year. One time in fact I spent more time flipping to your game that I did ours because there was so much stuff going on in your game and not too much in ours.

I'm not talking about the injuries when the players fall down and faking injury to slow the clock down I'm actually talking about Corrall's ankle more than anything. He has had a noticeable gimp favoring that ankle. He looks like he's gimpy one play and then takes off running full speed the next without any problem. There are a group of people thinks he's faking it but I think it's just when he has to make a hard turn on that ankle that it gives him problems. The thing about it is Texas A&M doesn't have anybody of his quality on their team. They beat Alabama by playing completely over their heads for one night at home in front of 100,000 people.

If Corrall plays and has no problems with the rush and your guys give him enough time to make some critical throws and if your receivers actually catch it you guys will win this game. If Texas A&M finds a way to keep him running the entire game then it's very doubtful that he could have a high level game to beat this team. They are very strong against the run and getting some rush at times but their secondary is suspect and a guy who has the arm Matt Corrall has can really take advantage of that.

As far as giving a biased or non-biased opinion on Mississippi U. I never have a problem with that. I really don't care too much what Ole Miss does except to watch them play when I can. I will drive myself crazy trying to keep up with everything you guys do from Texas as far as recruiting or whatever. The thing is that if we beat Ole Miss we haven't really done anything that matters to the sports world. I'm not too happy when we lose them but I've forgotten about it in a couple of days. As far as the rivalry goes the Egg Bowl is really only important to people from Mississippi. That's not a bad thing that's just the way it is. Now if we beat a team like LSU, A&M, Alabama or Auburn then it's something to the sports world and gives us much more credibility. Tell the truth I feel like it's probably the same way for Ole Miss. I'm not saying this is what the rest of you guys need to think but that's the way I think of these things.

All very, very fair. And again, I appreciate it. But on the injuries, they appear to be very real. I understand and laughed at the jab about faking injuries, it was well done and well deserved. But we’ve now played multiple games without our 2 starting Guards. Without our top 3 WRs, other than very situational spots, where they were of no value. Without our starting TE. And we just played the Liberty game without our 3rd and 4th Guards. Without our 4th WR (Pearson). And without our backup TE. We averaged like 2 yards a carry if you take away Ealy’s 70 yarder on 2nd play of game.

I’m not trying to make excuses about anything, I’m just saying I’m not sure that the general public recognizes how average we have been offensively the last few weeks. You take Corral away and we’d be dreadful. I hope Ole Miss wins more than anything. Be that 59-56 or 10-9. But all I was saying was that A&M seems like a great bet. I’m closer to Ole Miss than the average bettor, and that’s who the lines are set for.

Ole Miss will obviously get a bump from College Gameday and it being a night game.
