Would love someone to convince me why I wouldn't take the under on us? 58.5 seems high.

Also, Bama -15 against Florida seems like taking candy from a baby.

I think we win by 7, maybe 10 points at Memphis. But not going to lie, this one scares me. It is definitely a losable game.

And no way does 58.5 seem too high. It looks like it jumped up to about 65, which seems about right.

Memphis will give us our best shot. It has been their focus since the beginning of the season. MSU coming in with an immature team on the road it worries me. They will punch us in the mouth. Let’s see if we can respond a little earlier than we did in week 1.

If we lose to Memphis, it's a bad loss. This is not Norvell's Memphis team. They're not very good this year. I would expect La Tech to beat Memphis, and NC State to throttle them.

-3 stinks to high heaven.

This is going to be an extremely tough game to come away with a win.

Coming off win at home against NC State and in between a home LSU game.

This line is pure bait.

Based on Sagarin, it should probably be a pick with Memphis getting an additional three points for home advantage

GOOD LAWD people! If Memphis will be a tough one to win we might as well forfeit
the rest of our games! Memphis just gave up 50 …FIFTY…10, 20, 30, 40, 50…to Ark State Wolves NOT the Arkansas Razorbacks.
If our D plays just 75% as well as last night we will roll them off the bluff, into
the mighty Mississippi! Also, we will probably have at least 35% MSU fans there.

Memphis’s D is not anywhere close to being as good as NCST.

It would be a bad loss for sure. I’m just not holding my breath for us winning comfortably. La Tech proved we are still an immature team when we face a lesser team.

Look we had a bad 1st game, but still won. NC State is no slouch. Our D, in that game, was what we thought they are, and if they play like that against Memphis, they will, we roll. Rogers will put up similar #s, and we win by 3-4 scores. Some of you need to look at this year's team instead of past teams.

Our offense is bad. Will Rogers has a very weak arm, and has limited field vision. He throws the five yard dump more often than not, and usually when that target is directly in front of him. If we don't get that opening TD, the NC State game could be very different. I like the under bc our D looked much improved.

Yeah Memphis is bad on defense, but La Tech was no better. It seems like when we were on, LT and NC State couldn’t stop us. When we were off, we stopped ourselves.

LT Quarters 1 & 4 - 7 drives, 252 yards, 35 points
LT Quarters 2 & 3 - 9 drives, 144 yards, 0 points and 4 TOs

NCSU Quarters 1 & 4 - 5 drives, 10 yards, 0 points
NCSU Quarters 2 & 3 - 6 drives, 253 yards, 17 points

I knew we’d be inconsistent this year, but that is downright bipolar. We are leaving all kinds of yards and points on the field due to poor execution, missing open receivers, etc.

NCSU film review will not be kind to Rogers. He could have EASILY had 400+ yards and 4 TDs just by hitting wide open receivers.
