Save a team who has a heisman winner and a most likely Belitnekoff finalists, we have allowed 10 and 6 points in our other two games. The only touchdown allowed against vatech was 70+ yards I believe.

You must be basing the whole analysis off Bama vs. A&M. Which is fine since it's been our only real test.

Their defense has holes that were exploited by one of the best games ive ever seen a college QB and WR play. Mike Evans had almost 300 yards receiving. I expect quite a few 3 and outs from Ole Miss and Bama is gonna be able to score. 38-10 is a very real possibility. Bo Wallace isnt gonna buy 3 seconds with his legs and then unload a 60 yard bomb. He just isnt that kind of QB

The fact is that each of Alabama's games has been an outlier. Given that, it's very easy to rationalize our own preconceived perceptions.... That said, I'm trying to look through all of that subjectively, and I see AJ, Amari, Vinnie, and Saban, and just can't help but think this team is as stacked as ever.

I still don't think I'll play this one though. Plus, I'd rather not have money on these big SEC games so that I can sit and enjoy them.

I would put the title to my truck on Aggy -3



I saw Clay Travis say on Sunday that TAMU opened at -3 and literally couldn't log on to 5dimes fast enough to put my balance on it . Low and behold, 5dimes didn't have it posted; and from what I can tell still don't.

Well that's certainly not as fun as -3.

How people could think it was 3 is beyond me


Edit: joke

Said I was going to pound anything +14.5 and above for Arkansas.

Going to pound +17

I think Arky will go the Air Force/Navy strategy and milk every second of the clock they can to shorten the game, and run the ball almost every play.

It was never on with my guy. We both knew it was a joke and laughed about it.

I thought the line would open at 15.5-16.5

UCONN is a 1 point dog at Caesar's against SUNY- Buffalo. I know UCONN is down but they just played Michigan to a 3 point game. Am I missing something? I know nothing about SUNY.

I figured you were joking.

If I had a bookie that took -3, I would bet a grand, then when the real line came out bet half a grand on Arkansas.

Okay, the -17 the Golden Nugget has was from their GOY lines released in June.

It's still off the board everywhere.

Because its gonna be -3




I would actually have bet a grand then like 250 on the middle. TAMU would cover 3 easily. Wouldnt want to waste to much free money on a middle chance

The weekly pickem pool I am in sets on Wednesdays, it has the line at -10.5. Not sure their process of setting lines that have not been released yet. Just food for thought.

Is three points enough of a delta for you to pull the trigger? Just curious.


All depends on the game.

I use my hard numbers as a way of picking out lines I am interested in. Then I go to each matchup and breakdown the situation, past history, coaching, Home Field, what side I feel like the books are backing. I learned a long time ago that if you think you are going to simply beat Vegas with some numbers you came up with you are going to get beat down, maybe not every week, but long term you can not beat them at their game. They have too much manpower and data behind those lines.
