I could see MSU beating Auburn badly and not taking their foot of the gas.

I know Auburn is young, but they looked small and weak. I was expecting to see some really good looking players with those recruiting classes. Based on what I saw Saturday they will be embarrassed this week.

The line moved from 2 to 6.5, huh? I have never bet a dime on sports (because I don't know how and don't care enough to find out...but will listen if someone wants to explain it) but I read someone speculating that "Vegas is begging people to put $ on State at -2". When that happens, doesn't the line move in the direction we have seen here? So most of the action that is going to happen, betting wise on that game, has already occurred, and either Vegas, or those betting are going to lose/gain a lot of $ on the outcome, no? I mean, the way I understand it is the line moves on things like injuries and what not, but after previous games are played, sans injuries, the line moves based on betting trends, not so much a prevailing idea that one team is greater or worse than thought 24 or 48 hours ago? educate me.

You shouldn't put much stock in the lines that came out months ago (the 2 line). Those are based on nothing than gauging the betting flows, and trying to attract even money. These lines have small limits to how much you can put on them. The line change simply shows that the public and/or vegas thinks Auburn might struggle a lot more than expected.

By the way, don't think I will play either game. Will probably play Auburn if the line goes up further. I love me some Tennessee -7 though

That's the thing about the barn. I expected to see good players out there just making mistakes. But, that wasn't the case. The players looked small, soft, weak and slow and poorly coached. Can't trust recruiting rankings.

Anyone who watched us play on Saturday and would still put money down to beat a top 10 team simply doesn't value their money.

My mind says "no way can those defensive problems be fixed in one week", we lose. My gut says that I will be pleasantaly surprised at the improvement and we'll have a good chance.

I thinks USU is better than State, so this week should be an easy win.
