Arkansas +9.5 at Auburn

What does Vegas know that I don't? This seems like one where you don't ask questions and just hammer Auburn..

Auburn is a trendy team right now, could see them going on a bit of a run until the Iron Bowl

Auburn is underrated. Very talented DL.

Also, they are coming off of a bye and Arkansas is coming off of an emotional and physical win.

Still a big line though.

Does seem a bit low, but I've seen worse. Just take Auburn and the easy money and give thanks to the oddsmakers.

This a very important factor but it didn't bode well for Ole Miss. Not saying that it will be the case again.

Auburn likes to run the ball. Arkansas does not like to stop the run.

I bet the farm on this and put a little on the money line. This line should be AU +6.

Vegas knows Arky can't stop the run. Rumor has it that AU is going to give them a heavy dose of the wildcat, which I, and many others, don't think Arky will be able to stop. I am not touching this game because of that rumor.

^^^

I still expect a close game, but this is the gist of it.

Auburn is higher rated in stats on both sides of the ball. I'm not convinced yet because I think the stats are skewed due to 2 blowout wins versus cupcakes. So, I got a nickle on the hogs plus 10.5.

This right here. Unless they revert to the twirlybird offense, Aubie's should score a lot of points. If Arky can't match them - and keeping AU's d-line off of Austin will be a huge challenge - it could get ugly.

My advice to anyone looking to place a wager would be stay far, far away from this game.

I dunno. I think we'll sell out against the run and try to make Aubie beat us in the air. Our DB's have been stepping up in pass coverage so unless the QB's are able to make some plays through the air it could be closer than some of you think.

I think Arkansas wins a close one on the road.
