That implies there's a chance that you can be good. There's NO chance of that. Just the truth Brother.

Well, I'm sure you've done your research and are correct in your conclusion that there is "NO chance" of a team picked to finish 6th in the East with a 5.5 over/under achieving anything. I mean it's NEVER happened before right?

2013 Bleacher Report:

Missouri Tigers
Prediction: 5-7, 1-7 (6th in SEC East)

Missouri, 5.5 wins (over -260, under +180)

The good news: Murray State, Toledo, (at) Indiana and Arkansas State will give the Tigers a solid shot at a 4-0 start. The bad news: playing at Georgia and Ole Miss and vs. Florida, South Carolina and Texas A&M give the Tigers an equally solid shot at dropping at least five games. What's left are games at Vanderbilt and Kentucky and home against Tennessee. 2-1 is ever-ever-ever-so-slightly more likely than 1-2 if Gary Pinkel can find a quarterback, but that margin is too small to bet on it at -260 -- especially since even a win in Bloomington is no lock. Projection: Under

But hey, bring on the low expectations. General consensus is NEVER wrong!
