What if ?

Also love watching Andrew Luck play ball......just outstanding. A NFL QB playing college ball.

Seriously, Auburn wants this game. They hate us and we hate them. They would LOVE to serve up another helping of "whoop @ss" like last year. It's going to be a very rough game. I sure hope Malcolm Mitchell is back at full stride. We need him.

Can you believe the line is 12 1/2 ??

Think part of that is the odds makers trying to make money...Auburn was idle last week while we put on a 63-point clinic. They know this game will be close and want people to take the points and lose...they're trying to appeal to the emotions. If you were a betting man, wouldn't you be tempted to take the points when we just put up 63 on a team and Auburn's most recent memory (I don't really count Ole Miss) is a loss to LSU?

Make no mistake about it though...Auburn would love to play the spoiler to our SEC Championship dreams...this one will be a nail-biter.

Take it for what it's worth, but a line that big is basically begging you to take the points and
pick Auburn.

It's also indicative that the big money is coming down on the side of UGA as the betting lines
are designed to get the money even on both sides of the ledger. Vegas doesn't like it when all
the money is on one side, because they want to pay the winners with the losers bets and therefore
limit their own liability for the payout.

What will be interesting to watch is how much the line swings between now and Saturday.

I just hope the money coming down on UGA isn't a bunch of crazed Dawg supporters going crazy
with their home mortgages because we put up 63 on NMS.

Whatever SEC crew calls this game better get a handle on it early.
I expect some fighting.

I hope there is no fighting at all, but everyone better buckle up the chin straps because there
is going to be some serious hitting of some sort. I hope our young pups are ready for it, and by
that I mean mainly IC. Gonna' have to man up and not take yourself out after every tackle.

I always like to remind people (and myself) that Vegas makes money by being right so often. This one sure does SEEM like a sucker bet. We don't beat anyone by that many points. :S

I sure hope Vegas is right. But they usually are. What do they know about this game?
