Line opened at Auburn -3, I'm buying 1/2 point and taking Auburn -2.5 (3X). I think Auburn's offensive scheme is awesome now with a mobile quarterback in Cam Newton. It won't be a blowout though Dan Mullen has got Miss St. heading in the right direction.

I am with you! The line seems too good to be true...but that is the case sometimes!Comment -
I have no action on the game but was all prepared to take Mississippi State in this spot. The reason I didn't and the reason it probably bodes well for your play is because I would be wagering on what I "expect" Mississippi St do do this season and not on what is expected of them.
Like you said Mullen does have this team headed in the right direction and he is just a few recruits away from having something special there. Obviously some of those recruits aren't yet there and I was about to allow my personal faith in this current teams heart and soul outweight common sense.
If Auburn plays sound fundamental football they currently have the athletes to win this game and cover this line. If they make mistakes in abundance then Miss St can take advantage and be in this game at the end with a chance of winning.
Evaluating the "if's" I would imagine it's more like 70% to 30% which is more likely to happen. Mississippi St would have to overcome too many variables and Auburn would have to lose focus on what is possible.Comment -
I think this game is going to be very high scoring as well. I don't expect Miss St's Defense to be able to stop Auburn very much, but Auburn's pass defense looked very skeptical, and their starting MLB is still suspendedComment -
The safest bet IMO Will be the over. I have not seen on number yet But i can see i score like 31-28. There is no way that the total will be over 54-55. Play over. GL.Comment -
It is at 1.5 now.Comment -
I'm going to say 34-24 AuburnComment -
You are seeing some RLM here even though most think Auburn is the play. That favors Miss St.Comment -
miss state at home, i like what coach mullen is doing and auburns defense is a lil overratedComment -
Miss St. is not going to be able to stop the run at all, and that will wear their defense completely out. They'll get some points to make it decently close, but Auburn wins and coversComment -
Miss St's D isn't that good either, and Ark St is not a bad team, they had Iowa on the ropes at Iowa last season and only lost that game by 3...and what makes something the "correct play"? thats just dumb, if Auburn wins that means they were "the correct play"Comment -
I will bet you your SBR points on the game.Comment -
done...I don't give a sh*t about SBR points anyway...we'll bet 82 points, what line are we doing? it's different on different sitesComment -
You don't have that many points. We can just do 82 since that is what you have. Just donate them to me and I will send them back your way if Auburn wins. What spread do you want to bet?
As far as my right play comment. When I say that I mean it is the sharp play, not the square play.Comment -
Think i'm rolling with Mississippi St on this one even though i know most of the forum is going to be on Auburn. I love Gene Chiznack, espec. since he was coaching when UT won their championship but going to go against him with this one.Comment -
yeah I was accidently looking at the wrong thing earlier, I'll take Auburn minus 2.5Comment -
Deal, you want to send me the points?Comment -
I just sent you my 82 points, if Auburn covers -2.5 you send back 164 then...good luckComment -
Will do, and BOL to all your other bets.

I like State here. I think they will surprise alot of people this year and be the sleeper in the SEC. Mullens has finally got a quarterback that can throw to the speedy receiver like in Bumpus...not to mention State is at home...Just my opinionComment -
zach, can i take auburn -2 for 50 points?Comment -
State is a solid team for sure, I just think Auburn has too many weapons. Cam Newton and Michael Dyer and making this a completely different Auburn teamComment -
Well, I would say that Miss St. at home can win Auburn out right if they don't make any mistake. I am leaning to Miss St. at this momentComment -
It's still at -3 with my bookie...maybe I should get a new bookComment -
I saw the line at Auburn -5.5 early at 5 dimes. I believe the results of this past weekend which included a MSU romp and Auburn surrendering 26 to Arkansas State are enough to cause me to pass on what I was expecting from Auburn here. Thursday night home dogs are deadly.Comment -
First SEC game of the year means those cowbells will be going crazy...might have to watch this one on muteComment -
I was just going to make a comment on the cowbells...they mess with opposing teams! I like the over in this game more than either team, but I'd lean to Miss St. just because of those bells. GLComment -
over the playComment -
Game day! Time to make that Auburn moneyComment -
Like the over here, good luck!Comment -
Auburn is 16-1 in their last 17 SEC openers
Auburn is 6-2 all-time in Thursday night games, including 4-0 vs. SEC in Thursday night games
Their last Thursday night game was a 42-14 Victory @ Miss St.
Auburn has won 57 consecutive games when scoring 30+ points
Auburn has won 21 of the last 28 against Miss. St
Auburn has won 8 of the last 9 against Miss. St
***With these stats I'm taking Auburn for 3X...if the game goes against these stats and I lose a few dimes so be itLast edited by msj0001; 09-09-10, 09:55 AM.Comment -
Like MSU tonight as well.Comment -
I think 85-90% of SBR is on Miss St., I'll try the fade for sureComment
