Will Arky be able to hang with Georgia?

[RollTide_HTTR]

I've kinda adjusted my opinion on this game. I still hope Arkansas can keep it close and maybe pull off the upset, but I think there is a real good shot they get blown out in the end.

Arkansas 2 most important offensive pieces are banged up and meanwhile Georgia is getting healthier.

I want Arkansas to keep it close and possibly pull an upset. But it seems like a tall task. They're going to need to get a few turnovers or something

Pittman said yesterday that both KJ Jefferson and Treylon Burks were sore but that they would be okay for this weeks game.

Yeah, but if they're sore after playing A&M, I'm not sure how they'll feel after playing UGA.

I don't like Georgia or their coach, but that front seven looks pretty legit.

Thanks, but betting odds are not really about likelihood of outcome. Vegas does not guess who will win a game. They guess how much money will be bet on each side and set the lines to achieve equal betting on both sides. For Vegas, a perfect line is one which produces exactly the same amount of money risked on every possible outcome of a game. So, 7-1 money line means that they hope to get 1 $100 bet on Arkansas for every 7 $100 bets on Georgia. They pay out to the winners with money collected from the losers and keep the vig as guaranteed profit.

The house always wins

I’m intrigued by this game. At the beginning of the year I wouldn’t have thought this game had much to offer but now I wonder.

If they can stop the run they will be in the game. Also have to win the turnover battle!

A lot of people do not bet so would not care about the betting odds.

Looking at my pickem picks this week is the reason I don't bet. I think I got 2 right.

The last few years I have done pretty well in the pick'ems. This year - not even close.

I think it will be a close game but UGA will come out ahead at the end. Too much depth and talent on that sideline. But I think Arky will give them all they can handle.

The initial lines are a true reflection of what the "line makers" think of the game. The reason is that if they were to establish a "false" line then the "smart" money, i.e., the professional bettors who not only know what's going on but make massive bets, would take advantage. Where what you are talking about comes into play is after the initial line is established the line may move based primarily on where the money is landing. Of course, there is more to it than that but that is a simple summary as I understand it.

Georgia quarterback JT Daniels dealing with different injury, might be limited (dawgnation.com)

Looks like JT might not be 100% either

Is that dude made of glass? He seems to have a plan to just show a little ability here and there, just enough to tease the NFL folks into drafting him, signing a big contract, rarely seeing the field for four years, and retiring comfortably. Maybe he can make it work.

Sucks when a QB can’t make it the entire year……think back Tua time when we had those issues.

For some reason, I think that Hawg D is gonna keep this very close and make the Athenians sweat a little.

If I had to bet, I would bet on the Hogs to keep it inside that number. I don't, however, think Arky will get the win in Athens. As others have stated, it seems that Arky is a bit tired and banged-up, while UGA is getting healthy and pretty much had the week off last week againt Vandy. Wow, is Vandy bad or what?

 

[bvandegraff]

UGA has been feasting on cupcakes since they beat Clemson while Arky has been battling to annex the state of Texas. UGA takes it.

and Vandy should become a non-football member of the SEC. Seems wrong that they get all that conference football money without fielding a competitive team.

I'm glad we get a good 11:00 game to watch. Should be entertaining. I think the Hogs are for real and I think they challenge Georgia in a close game. Georgia's home field advantage probably gives them the edge IMO, but I'm rooting for the Hogs to pull the upset.

If they do and we both remain undefeated, our game in Fayetteville will be the stuff of epic proportions in Arkansas!

After last weekend I'm really excited for this weekend of College Football.

Maryland vs Iowa
Arkansas vs Georgia
Bama vs Ole Miss
Cincinnati vs Notre Dame

It's a good weekend
