Texas A&M Thoughts??

[kylejfischer]

I like A&M this weekend at -6 1/2.. Any insight into this game??

[wildcorndog]

A&M wins by 20 at least

[wildcorndog]

Ole miss couldn't stop auburn... U think they are gonna stop Johnny football? Get real. I don't know what the over is but take it.

[isotopes]

Line seems a little low, does A&M have any significant injuries?

[cmoney11]

I like A&M here but am also wondering why the line is so low. I understand ole miss is better this year but Johnny Football has been unstoppable for the most part.

[SilverTongueFox]

I'd take a long hard look at Ole Miss over team total. A&M probably wins bc they will be able to outscore Ole Miss. But A&M's defense is atrocious. Giving up 31 to Rice; 28 Sam Houston; 42 Alabama; 33 Arkansas. So I expect this to go back & forth and expect Ole Miss to score plenty of points being back in front of home crowd.

Ole miss is beat up, first Bama, then by Auburn. Tex A&M D is bad, but I see them winning by 14-21 pts.

Don't bet the other team just because you think the spread is to low.

[mutat8]

I don't tease much but I don't think it would be a bad idea to tease A&M and the over

[El_Zilcho]

Aggie here. Kirby Ennis, starting defensive tackle is out for the season. Isaiah Golden (true freshman) starts in his place. Kirby Ennis was a guy who commanded double teams which had a significant impact on letting linebackers play better. He wasn't as productive as Golden (who has 11 tackles compared to Ennis' 6) but his size is going to be missed. Floyd Raven might be back at safety but I doubt it. He won't be back until Vanderbilt i think.

The defense is better than it was at the beginning of the year, but is still bad, and not having Ennis hurts, but with the line at -6 1/2 I had to take it. Ole Miss's secondary isn't that great, especially against this offense. I doubt we'll have 6 turnovers like we did last year.
I usually never bet A&M games since I'm pretty emotionally invested.

[cyclone22]

I like Mississippi here

[JJJ]

the over should hit also ole miss team total should hit.... I actually like ole miss in this game plus the points

[dymd3z]

Money pouring in on A&M although the line keeps dropping...

Nice post!

@DYM
That's known as RLM in the business.

I will say this for the 1999th time.

If you like a side, bet the side, don't let the line mind phuck you.

Personally, I think A&M is very overrated, I like the TD here, gimme the points

[Skinsbaby]

Over!! "Excuse me casino cashier, large bills please!, thanks"

[etothep]

Money keeps pouring in or bets keep pouring in? There's a distinct difference between the 2

[tokio]

Line dropping and ML dropping. Still Manziel can play in hostile territory. It will be back up to -7 of -8 by gametime.

[King000]

Last year the final score was A&M 30 vs Ole Miss 27... Johnny Footballs Heisman winning year... I think this has something to do with the line... "Johnny Manziel threw for 191 yards and a touchdown and rushed for 129 yards and another score, and Texas A&M rallied from a 10-point fourth-quarter deficit to beat Mississippi 30-27 on Saturday night." With that said I still like A&M-6 this year

[bambiankles]

On my book its now -6 at +101 . I feel A&M will cover and the spread will go up by gametime so I hammered the line early.

lets go jonny football

[Scratch 23]

Ole Miss has had this game targeted. Take the points and run. Take the ML and hope the Rebels have the ball last.

[El_Zilcho]

I don't understand why the line is only -6, is it being based off of last year? We had 6 dumb turnovers that game. I don't see that happening.
A&M's closest game this year was Alabama, and we only lost by a touchdown.
We beat Arkansas on the road, and in the rain, and our defense was not a great matchup with their offense. They had two really talented running backs and we had a defense susceptible to the run. We outscored them by 12.

Ole Miss doesn't have a great secondary, and their offensive line isn't that great either, but A&M has no pass rush. If we can even put the slightest pressure on Bo Wallace, he'll make mistakes. I can't see their defense stopping our offense. Trey Williams is finally healthy and so far has averaged about 8 yards a carry. Tra Carson is really coming into his own. Johnny Manziel is the best player in the country and Mike Evans is one of the best receivers.
I don't think this game is going to be a blow out, but I think we'll win by 10- 14 points

[wufpakman21]

Ole Miss will keep it close at home.

[dmncnlou]

Jeff Scott will have a field day. Miss happy to be home. Bet light or stay away. A & M should win cuz they ain't beating LSU.

[El_Zilcho]

Does anyone actually have a reason for picking Ole Miss or are they just looking at the -6?

[wildcorndog]

People here love to be different.

manziel is the best but their defense is god awful. if they dont get any turnovers ole miss might score every time. i bet on them in that arkansas game and they were lucky to win by as much as they did.

[wildcorndog]

It's a square play LMFAO!!!!! Stupid stupid stupid.....

A&M barely lost to Bama

Ole miss worse than auburn...

It's worries me that some don't get simple games like this.

[bambiankles]

Gotta love A&M at -6 boys ill take it all day

[stevenash]

Does anyone actually have a reason for picking Ole Miss or are they just looking at the -6?

Let's start with A&M's run defense. They don't have one, it's pathetic, beyond pathetic. Ranked number 109 in the nation, considering 123 teams get ranked, that's putrid. Aggies give up almost 6 yards a run, well over 200 yards a game.

Ole Miss has one of the best runners in the SEC, Jeff Scott, averages about 8 yards a pop, every run, will run on A&M all night.
Could run for over a deuce, easy. Scott has incredible agility, can change directions in a finger snap, and go from first gear to overdrive before one can say "Roll Tide"

A&M keeps Meatloaf for brains Johnny Football off the field all game, by exploiting Aggie run defense, by doing so, controls the clock, and the ball.

The main reason, and their are others why I like Ole Miss is because they will run the rock all day and all night on the Aggies.

Using the transitive property to bet on games is sophomoric.

Ole Miss is finally back home after three tough road games. It's a night game and the crowd will be psyched. Ole Miss needs this game to stay relevant. It's not like they got blown out by Auburn. They lost by one score with a chance to tie near the end. Not to mention they out gained Auburn by almost 100 yards. Their only other loss was to 'bama which is nothing to be ashamed of. I like Ole Miss here, but I'll wait to see if it hits +7 by game time.

** Of course Bo Wallace could throw 5 interceptions and all other analysis goes out the window.

[irish1]

I see A&M scoring every time they have the ball lay it I did. Johnny is the man! Catch him if you can

Expect a 62-38 A&M win

Bo doesn't have to even throw Saturday night.
All he has to do is make sure he puts the rock in Scott's gut cleanly 30 times.

Based on what?
