Title: UGAy Mutts
Post by: AUChizad on November 10, 2011, 11:26:01 AM
We're 12 1/2 point dogs to the Dogs?

WTF?

Looks like easy money to me, but that worries me...

LSU - 23 point favorites over Auburn. 

Surely Vegas didn't know anything about rivalries and the suspensions.

So you're thinking we get our asses kicked?

Did you see what happened when I thought we'd win?

Yeah, I blamed you for that.

Had nothing to do with that. You were being unreasonable.

UGA is nowhere is the same league as LSU...

Not saying we win, but we damn sure have a shot. Better than 50/50 IMO...

I'd say it's about 60/30

90% of this game will be half mental.

I'm not saying we can't lose. But 2 TDs? Not seeing it.

Anything is possible.  Our offense could crawl back into its shell.  Our defense can go back to its USU non-tackling ways.

I'm pessimistic in general this season.  I can certainly see a 14+ point smacking.

I can too. 

Arkansas had a decent QB.  That opened up their run game.  They bludgeoned us. 

I think we're better on defense but the question remains: How much better?  We've done well shutting down teams that rely on the run (with the exception of MSU) but have been burned by the pass (LSU, Arky). 

Georgia at home is three points. 

Inability to contain whatever the UGA QB's name is adds another six.

Failures to score against even pitiful teams like Florida costs us six more. 

Revenge factor because Nick Fairley was such a thug and Cam smiled so much gives them another two points. 

That's 16. 

I'd like to think AU wins, but I don't see it happening.  If we lose we won't cover. 

And if we lose, look for UA to be 20-point favorites. Or more.

The spread is established to keep equal betting on both teams, not a score prediction. It just means that more people are expected to pick georgia, enough so that the line is set at a higher number. They aren't truely 'favored' by 12.5 points.

Agree.

Lines have nothing to do with reality, but what the betting public thinks.  I'm not the betting public, and we have a good shot at winning this game.
