Guess the A&M Spread…

[57stratdawg]

I’ll go A&M -4

 

[DesotoCountyDawg]

State -1.5

 

[PBRME]

A&M -5

 

[cowbell88]

A&M -4

 

[DAWGS1.sixpack]

A&M - 6 1/2

 

[Seinfeld]

State -1

If we were favored by 3 in BR, I have to think we’d get a point at home against A&M, but I guess we’ll find out shortly

 

[SLUdog]

I hope it's A&M -12

 

[MSUDC11]

The early line is out and it’s State -1.5

 

[DesotoCountyDawg]

I win a plasma Tv, right DS?

 

[Ralph Cramden]

That seems insane to me. I mean I think we are capable of beating them obviously but I'm surprised we are favored by the industry.

 

[Mr. Cook]

I’ll go A&M -4

A&M -6.5

They lost at home to Appalachian State and should have lost yesterday. It’s pretty clear that Vegas doesn’t draw much of a distinction between any of the SECW teams not named Alabama or Auburn. The other 5 teams in the middle are all viewed pretty equally. I personally still think Arkansas is a much better team than A&M, and I’m much more worried about that game at home than I am the Aggies.

And beyond the Ws and Ls, at one point has anyone watched A&M this year and thought… man, they look pretty tough? They’ve got some playmakers on both sides of the ball, no doubt, but they also may be one of the 2-3 worst coaches teams in the SEC

 

[DesotoCountyDawg]

And they beat Miami who lost to Middle Tennessee yesterday.

 

[was21]

State -2

 

[57stratdawg]

It’s A&M’s 3rd straight “big” game too. Hard to get up week after week.

I worry about scoring on DJ Durkin though.

Pick 'em

Their QB play is horrible. Achane is good but they are very one dimensional. They live on turnovers and special teams. If we don't make stupid mistakes (big if) we should be able to grind out the win.

The fact that most here thought A&M would be favored tells you a ton about the lack of objectivity and historical pessimism of our fan base

 

[Mr. Cook]

The LSU game says "Hey"

 

[IBleedMaroonDawg]

I can't believe we are pessimists.**

 

[bruiser.sixpack]

I think it has been said here before. The book makers set the line to get action from both sides . When the spread is within 3 points, they expect it could move either way.

 

[UpTheMiddlex3Punt]

We're favored???

I mean, we're mediocre, but we're not that mediocre.

 

[thatsbaseball]

And their D-line nowhere near as good as LSU's.....

No, but this is the kind of game that Achane might go for 150. If he does, we lose. Our rush defense has been pretty good this year, and I hope it continues Saturday. If we hold Achane to less than 100 all purpose (he returns kicks and is very good at it), then we win.

 

[PuebloDawg]

Goood God. Do y’all watch football? If we can score 21, that’s a huge IF, we win.

 

[FlotownDawg]

We are favored by 3 points and the ESPN FPI predictor gives us a 68.7% chance to win the game. For what it’s worth, the FPI only gave us a 43% chance to win the LSU game despite us being favored.

Durkin gave a lot of opportunities to us last year with Ole Miss but our guys weren’t able to capitalize. Maybe they will rectify that on Saturday and carve A&M up.

 

[Crazy Cotton]

started at -2.5 State on MGM. Now at -4. That feels a little crazy to me as a long-time fan.

 

[57stratdawg]

This is now sitting at -3.5 or -4
