#17 a 3.5 point favorite over #8. What’s up with that?

Vegas thinks Auburn is a pretender?

At home which is generally viewed as worth 7 points. But nice thread I guess.

Seems that way. Go ahead and bet 1k on aTm to cover. Easy money!

You get 3 for being at home and Vegas thinks A&M is .5 points better?

Auburn is 3-0 ATS this season.

No they don’t. We aren’t a “pretender”, but every single poll released so far is a sports media conglomerate attempt to stay relevant. If little tiny numbers didnt appear next to team names in the first few weeks, then what’s the
point of watching. A&M is the better team now and Vegas knows this. Stop paying attention to the distracting little font numbers that actually don’t mean much at this point.

Preseason polls don’t matter and shake out by the time the first playoff rankings come out.

It depends on the home field advantage but rule of thumb is 3 pts.

Your ranking isn’t indicative of your talent. It’s what you deserve after Clemson throttled you.

3.5 is due to a freshman QB in a hostile environment.

A&M needs to go all out for this one.

They’re gonna lose to Bama, Georgia and LSU. If they drop this one to Auburn your gonna be close on bowl eligibility.

This game will be determined by Auburn keeping up with aTm scoring pace or stopping aTm scoring. The latter is the more likely game plan for Auburn. Auburn is not running the ball well and has three WR's as questionable on Statfox injury report.

A&M has a loss, whether it is to the #1 team or not, that messed up their ranking. Auburn is undefeated. I think A&M has the better team, but they need to prove it.

I don't think anyone has a clear read on either of these teams.

I thought the generally idea is something like this.

3.5 basically means a coin toss on a neutral field.

At AU, it would tilt AU, but it is at College Station.

I think anyone would be crazy to lay a bet on this game, personally. I have not kept up with A&M this year, but on our end we have
A) a depleted group of WR
B) a freshmen qb
C) a returning OL that under performed last year


Despite all of that, I think our defense can keep us in most games.

So does mulletproof. However, are y'all sure Gus isn't gaslighting errebody?. Plus, Gus is just stupid enough to start a two quarterback system at game 4. I could literally see him running Gatewood and Nix in and out of there like an ant trail and, somehow, making that shite work. Call it the rectal horseshoe offense. Get your popcorn ready ags.

AU and UF look flawed and their rankings seem high..... but then again I’m not sure who else you put in there.

Where are you seeing that? Has to be a mistake if that is the opening line today. AU will have their way.

We were #16 when we played Oregon #10 at a neutral site and was favored by 4

So who knows
