Are there any online services that offer a money line on the big game? I have the line on this one for Auburn but let's be real...is there any chance that Auburn doesn't win this?? I've never seen a lock like this. FSU played NOBODY all year. Watch the line shoot skyward when OSU beats Clemson by at least three scores. DUKE WAS IN THE ACC CHAMPIONSHIP GAME. NUFF SAID.

The ML is between 250 and 260 for Auburn, but lets be realistic here. Auburn has a great running game and absolutely NOTHING else. LSU whipped them by 14 points. Florida State's defense is much better than Auburn's defense. Florida State's offense can also throw the ball, as their Heisman Trophy Winning QB will attest to.
Ohio State will be lucky to beat Clemson, period. That will be a shootout, and Ohio State does not do real well in shootouts.
This post is a perfect example of how newby's post. They think they have to impress others by posting locks and telling us that there is no way they can lose. You are more than welcome to your opinion, but you are NOT impressing anyone with your style. Tell us how Auburn is going to handle Florida State's defense, and how their defense is going to stop the best player they have seen this season.Comment -
Thought the same after Auburn beat Missouri, but I think that Florida State has just too much talent on defense. They have the most passes intercepted, they allowed a ncaa top of just 4 rushing TDs in the redzone, they rank 3rd in turnover margin and 5th on 3rd down defense. Additionally they have the best redzone offense and an extremely dangerous weapon in "Famous Jameis" Winston. Of course most of this stats are just because of their weak schedule - but you can't argue with the talent their defense has.
On the other side - Auburn beat so much good teams and that whole destiny stuff which can really matter in such games. I think Florida State is the play, but it's more a gut feeling. I think there are valid points for both sides in this game. Anyway, I wish you best of luck.Comment -
I'm an SEC homer and I feel FSU covers. FSU offense is as good as mizzou and their d is much better.Comment -

First off, thanks for the warm welcome...I really wasn't looking to set the world on fire with my spot on analysis, I was trying to get some discussion going.
But since you asked, yes, LSU "whipped them" (aka beat them by two scores, hardly a whipping in today's CFB), but it was a tough game in enemy territory and they made some big mistakes on special teams. The SEC is a tough division. No one in the ACC finished as a top 10 team, and they shouldn't have. No one in the ACC played a good team other than Clemson, who played a Georgia defense that was decimated by injury. FSU didn't play a single decent team all year, so all those great stats and performances are vs low-talent teams.
Auburn went toe to toe with the two best teams in the country, and beat them both with the same one-dimensional offense you mentioned. Do you think that the best CFB coach of our generation (Saban) didn't know the offense was one-dimensional? Or Pinkel? They game-planned to stop Mason and Marshall and still failed.
When you say that defense will be the difference in this game, you're saying that FSU's defense is better than Bama's.Comment
