Auburn has some transfers. Only concern to me would be Nix and OG Manning. Finley could fill in well for Nix. Don't see a problem there. Big losses for Auburn are C Brahms, RT Hamm on the OFF along with Manning. The D is without their leading tackler in LB McClain (draft), and star corner McCreary (draft). The O-line losses hurt but so will the 2 best defensive players. They are also without their OC for this game.
Houston, it appears, is also without a star corner in Marcus Jones (draft) and he returns kicks as well.
While I can't tell you the formula I used, I will set the line @ Houston -1 for this game. Opener in Vegas at a few shops was Auburn -3.5 and has moved to Auburn -2.
EDIT: I would make the total about 60 (revised from 56 a few minutes ago). Some shops opened it at 52 and now moved down to 51.
Thoughts?
