The hard part on this

Posted by Strongbad (aka Rambler14) Dec 9 '13, 12:46

More often than not,
when Vegas puts out a line that the general public thinks "Holy crap they are smoking something", Vegas turns out to be smart.

If this game were this Saturday, I'd be betting the House on Auburn. The only part that gives me worry is whether Auburn can keep up this momentum and whether the 4-week layoff hurts them a lot more than FSU.

Responses:

Auburn has a crap defense though against ranked teams. FSU has the better D maybe? -- nm - CQ Dec 9, 12:52 2
- I am an ACC fan. I want FSU to win. - Strongbad Dec 9, 12:54 1
  - yeah, the BC game was odd. Only time they gave up more than 17 points in a game. -- nm - CQ Dec 9, 12:56
I will be shocked if FSU beats Auburn. Giving the Tigers points is car-razy. -- nm - David Dec 9, 12:48 13
- I think FSU is really good. It's always tough to judge vs. other conferences, but they were absolutely dominant. -- nm - pmb Dec 9, 12:55 3
  - As much as I love Cutcliffe, I stress that -Duke- won half the ACC. - David Dec 9, 13:02 2
    - As tough as Auburn's offense is at stopping - Strongbad Dec 9, 13:04 1
      - Oh, absolutely. I referenced that earlier today. The monthlong sabbatical is the only reason I think FSU even has a chance. -- nm - David Dec 9, 13:06
- I'll just say this, though...that looking at the rushing stats of the SEC Title game... - Jim Dec 9, 12:54 8
  - I actually disagree in that the vulnerability Auburn showed was in fumbling. - David Dec 9, 12:58 7
    - I'm blown away by what they did to Mizzou...I just worry (for them) that they allowed over 500 yards offense and let Mizzou go toe to toe with them - Jim Dec 9, 13:02 5
      - My primary concern with Auburn is overconfidence. - David Dec 9, 13:05 3
        
        I know they're tough...but after, I don't know...400 yards rushing...wouldn't you stuff the box? - Jim Dec 9, 13:09 2
        
        The fact that they played so well without Franklin blows my mind. -- nm - David Dec 9, 13:11 1
        
        Get ready to hear the name Maty Mauk a lot. Redshirt freshmen and the kid's got skills. -- nm - Jim Dec 9, 13:13
      - agreed to your last part of the IM. -- nm - CQ Dec 9, 13:04
    - (that had the 2nd best rushing defense in the conference entering the game) -- nm - Strongbad Dec 9, 12:59
