I can't figure it out. Fpi has them as 85% to win. Bama is only 77% over aTm.

Auburn is a 7.5 pr favorite over ark last I saw. That's a bet I will jump all over, but it seems like there is something I am missing because it doesn't make any sense to me

They're at home. I think 9 is too much, but it's probably gonna get a lot of play in Vegas.

Sorry, guess it's moved down to 7.5.
Even better line for Vegas.

It's at Auburn and they have a fantastic defense.

No one likes to admit it, but they do.

I'd say because of the schedule that Arkansas has played. Might think the hogs are worn down and beat up.

I have no idea, I thought it'd be a closer line.

The point spread is rarely wrong though.

It was at 9?! Wtf

Auburn has been playing a lot better, and their defense is solid. But ark is playing pretty well too.

I see my biggest bet of the year coming though. Go get em piggies!!

Because of bad goalline play calling against A&M and Bama forcing us to beat them with the pass, there's a misconception that our offensive line can't run block.

We are terrible at pass pro due to young guys on the line but they are solid at run blocking when the defense isn't selling out against the run.

I just got Arkansas plus 10.5 (bought the hook).

Statically AU ranks higher on both sides of the ball and they are playing at home. But, I believe those stats were skewed by blowing out 2 shitty teams.

Who knows. Auburn is averaging a whopping 20 ppg against Power 5 teams and has only went over that mark once, against Miss St.

Arkansas by 14
