corndogs lose to vandy, aubs slide further against mizzou, Lane covers Bama doesn't and 8&4 loses at arkansauce.

TAMU -7.5
Texas -11.5

My initial take:

That's a huge # for us. Don't like it at all.
Haha on LSU-Vandy!
Ole Miss is going to win so that's a huge # for UGA.

TAMU -7.5
Texas -11.5
Florida -10
Oklahoma -4.5

If that UGA-Ole Miss game is now UGA-6.5 I'd take UGA. A revenge game for UGA, they need the win more than Ole Miss does and after we broke their 33 game home winning streak what are the odds they lose another home game soon after?

I'll take Alabama line.
I would take Vandy over LSU.
Georgia over Ole Miss.

 

[Cruloc]

In no reality would I expect our line vs Tennessee to be as high at is. What do they know that I'm not seeing here?

Agreed! I would add Mizzou over barn too

the points actually open up at -10 on some sites. Vols secondary is terrible and their defense is not very good as year's past. Arky ( in Knoxville) and Miss St ( in Starkville) shredded them through the air and both teams had a chance to win. Tenn went to overtime to beat State. Bama passing game is one of the best and the game is in Tuscaloosa. furthermore, its a revenge game for our guys!

injuries and a paper tiger Vols team

I'm sitting here looking at ESPN's list of games for Saturday.....and can't stop staring at the LSU - Vandy line now. Vandy is favored by -2.5.

 

[Cruloc]

Unranked Duke is favored by -2.5 over #12 Georgia Tech. Fascinating.

Man, how things have changed!

My guess is it's mainly because:
SOS:
Bama: 2
tenn: 46

Scoring D:
Bama: 17.3 ppg
tenn: 29.3 ppg

tennessee has played a softer schedule - against weaker offenses than Bama's - and is allowing a lot of points per game.

Didn't realize they've given up that many points in their games. They've only held one team under 20 pts and that was East Tennessee State.

 

[BamaFossil]

Mizzou a 1.5 point underdog at Auburn? If I were a gambler, I'd take Mizzou in a heartbeat.

auburn was favored yesterday. that didn't take long to flip today and honestly, I was surprised to see barn favored at all, but I figured it will be Mizzou first road game and voodoo hare is still worth something.

If I had been paying attention earlier I'd have been tempted to have Tennersee @ +12.5 and now take Alabama at -7.5. That hillbilly defense has been awfully soft, though. I'll look forward to seeing what Jess thinks on this one.

its currently at -9.5 with money pouring back in to Bama. watch for the points on this game throughout the week. its the biggest mover of any game.
