Auburn is still a fraud and matches up poorly with Arky. This game is one that Arky has had circled for a while now.

Lay them all day, seems like a relatively easy 14+ point win.



As an auburn fan myself, you could not be more off. We are jekel and Hyde. Always have been.


Would not be surprised if we get blown out, lose close, or win. I wouldn't touch that game.

Don't care what any spread sheet says

After being at the LSU game last weekend and not watching any other games, I feel really out of the loop this weekend.

As of right now I took Arky -6 and K-State/Texas u51. It will be interesting to see if Snyders boys rise up or fall after that embarrassment vs OU.

I think Temple is the play tonight. They're 6-0 and have a great run defense while catching 3 points on the road. I see them winning outright.

Temple
App State over
UCLA over

Will be my 3 plays this evening.

Hoping to end up with two plays this week... Ga Tech +7 and USC -3. Waiting for better prices and I think they'll come by kickoff. Have patience with these lines, public will be chasing with FSU and Utah late.

Contrary to what you may think, my opinion of this game has nothing to do with Auburn fan hot takes, Bert's bravado, the Weekly Bet Thread groupthink, or a spreadsheet.

Stats-wise, Auburn is a terrible team in key metrics such as yards per play and defensive efficiency.

On offense, my eyeball test shows me that Auburn cannot efficiently score points. They rely on dink and dunk passing, gadget plays for explosion, and generic power run with a non-threatening QB on zone read. Arky is well equipped to stop this with their defense that is weaker in the back 4 than front 7.

On defense, Auburn struggles in all facets, most notably stopping power run. Arky has a good power running game a QB that is accurate enough to abuse Auburn's secondary on 3rd down.

Arkansas also statistically has one of the best home-field advantages in the SEC, and is coming off a bye, so the intangibles favor them as well.

Arky -5.5 is one of my favorite lines of the week, and I expect an easy win.

I liked Va Tech @ 2 and 2.5, but the hook is not good considering this is more than likely a FG game.

I jumped on FSU -5.5. I wouldn't put any $ on GT only getting 7. FSU is hitting its peak right before GT. Golson is finally looking good. GT is a dumpster fire right now. This is the only game I'm not using pub #s when betting.

Have a ton of bias. But I wouldn't bet on FSU if I didn't think -5.5 to -7 wasn't a good bet. Solid post, though. You definitely called me out.
