Mississippi opens as 1.5 point favorite

Vegas is like who the 17 knows with these 2 Jokers.

Regardless, that line is most definitely the Moorhead factor, and everybody here knows it. Vegas assumption is that Moorhead is worse at preparing his team that Luke is. Let that sink in and then simmer slowly.

 

[patdog]

Yeah. I could pretty easily see either team win by 30, or anything in between.

 

[Seinfeld]

So in 12 months, we’ve gone from blasting them 35-3 in Oxford to being a dog at home to a 4-7 team.

Can’t imagine why anyone would question the program’s direction

Since moved to State -2. It was probably right to begin with

 

[She Mate Me]

As someone who has been vocal about betting against State a few times this year, that line makes little sense to me. I will bet on State at anything under a 3 point favorite.

 

[TBone.sixpack]

The new talk track is we have no talent.*

 

[BingleCocktail]

Yeah. I could pretty easily see either team win by 30, or anything in between.

Exactly. The first Egg Bowl I ever attended, MSU was favored by about 10 and lost by 20.

More recently, I remember attending the 2009 EB that was quite the surprise (included the "From Dixon With Love" and a teabag). Can't quite remember that spread, but we were not favored and won by 14. Good times...good times.

It was MSU -2.5 last week....with basically nothing changing between now and then. Its essentially a pick em regardless of where it falls. We’ll see what happens.

 

[TBone.sixpack]

That is one of my favorite Egg Bowls. What a great day.

 

[BingleCocktail]

I find this a bit of a relief actually. Wonder how it will develop as the week progresses. I'm guessing the short week is a considerable factor against us

 

[thatsbaseball]

At this rate they'll be favored by 3 TD's next year in Oxford

 

[was21]

That ain't the only considerable factor against us

 

[patdog]

Yeah. The fact we’re not a double digit favorite in this game is a huge indictment of the job Moorhead has done.
