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

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.

This game will be determined by Auburn keeping up with aTm scoring pace or stopping aTm scoring.

This is the kind of analysis i come to the rant for. Have an upvote.

Isn’t every game determined by that?

To be fair, ive heard many on tRant say Auburns home field advantage is worth at least a TD. Amirite?
2017 it was worth more than that to hear Bama and UGA fans tell.

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.

I completely agree that one team’s ability to score points and/or keep the other team from scoring can often affect the outcome of the game. Good point.

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

Take Auburn every day, and the points. A&M loses by at least 10 points this weekend. At least ...

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

Auburn beat a good team
A&M lost to a great team

It is really a toss up

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

So who knows
