Ya, not likely to move 3 points before the game but I think 8 is possible.

We're running a read-option offense?

I think you're over-valuing 4 star high-schoolers.

You can check my math, but two safeties would be two scores.


The point of calling it a two score game is that it is impossible to tie or take a lead with one TD and two point conversion. 9 to 16 is a two score game.

I thought the game was a 6.5 game. I could see 9.5 going to 8 or possibly 7.5 if a lot of money is bet on Arkansas...

Heard this from LSU fans the last 2 years.

Only difference is Auburn lost the "Fire our coach" bowl earlier this year.

Good job on the math but if Arkansas losses by 7 it would be a 1-score game, not 4.


Well, that would be a 1,2,3, or 4 score game depending on how you score, but you missed the entire point of my post. The OP's post made it seem like beating a top 25 team by "two scores" was some huge unattainable feat. Pointing out the stupidity of that assessment.

Yep, 6-7 seemed right to me

I understand this. My point was more facetious than anything else to the OP's point.

I don't see Auburn beating Hogs by 10. Hogs offense seems to be getting it together now. Allen is pretty elusive and Auburn has some trouble with that.

I like the Hogs to keep the game close.

Apparently some of you have your belts tied a little too tightly this afternoon.

I agree the point spread is a little high but auburn will win this game. -6 would sound a little better to me.

honestly, our defense is a complete fcking mess dealing with HUNH, and they actually have defense and ole miss doesnt.

I had been nervous about this game since pre-season, tbh

They keys to the game are going to be if Arky can establish any running game, and if AU play calling goes full retard or not (I know, real bold predictions there ).

Both offenses have had their struggles this year, but seem to be coming into their own. If Arky can't establish the run for their play action passes, it will probably be a long night for Allen. If AU gameplans more like they did for Clemson instead of MSU, Arky will feast on White all day.

They are begging you to bet on Arkie. When a line looks to good to be true, bet the other way. Auburn wins and easily covers.

Our defense is definitely a mess. The DB's are doing some good things, though. Our d-line would look a lot better if we blitzed more.

We sorta do. We are certainly not doing what Gus wants. We are only doing what our limited playing time will allow. We are hurrying up to the line anyway.


I personally think we spend too much time in the summer trying to play fast. We have doing that three years in a row and have not played fast any of those years.


Cant execute? Cant play fast
