I thought so too initially, but SDSU is very good at home, and Fresno has not been good on the road. Spread has dropped a lot too.

Best of luck scalabrine, and to all who offer up insight/opinions. Most of us (normal and mature players) understand that no one is holding a gun to our head and telling us that we have to tail your suggested picks. However, there are douche bags everywhere, and Covers is no different, clearly. The ol' "I'm gonna tail Scal's pick and if it misses I'm gonna be pissed" attitude, is an attitude of one who clearly has self-accountability issues. "My life sucks but it's not my fault! It's everyone else's fault!" advice- get of your lazy a$$ and do some research, come to covers and get ideas and opinions, and make your plays. Be a man, and grab your nuts when you lose, don't blame other people for your lack of success. It's your life, your money, your bet..., your nuts, not Scal's. ,!!!

Double, great read as always. Also, great start to the season! I noticed when looking at GOYs, Michigan isn't getting much love in several spots. I'm curious as to what your take is on it. Do you think there is some value in Michigan futures? Thanks, Brother BLP

Some background info on the reffing crew who made the 4th down call for OSU/Michigan
in College Football
I was not pulling for OSU, nor Michigan. However, there were some big no calls in OSU's favor. The first down call, they had to go with the call on the field. But the missed PI call, (my 12 yr old even said, "wow, that was pass interference!"). It didn't make it any better that the refs called PI on Michigan when OSU had the ball. Very inconsistent calling for such a big game.

What's up Double, you know I don't post much, but I always enjoy reading your threads. I'm an Auburn alumn, so I track em pretty closely. They are very hungry right now and eager to bring their momentum back to their home stadium. Auburn will run the ball with success against vandy, and it's not just Pettway, it's the big boys up front -leff, kozan, godson, smith. I could see a back door cover on this game, so I'm staying away, but I'm all over auburn' first half.

Auburn will play Bama tough though. Auburn sucked last year and gave Bama a hard time. Bama scored from 25 yards out with less than a minute to go so the score makes it look worse than it was. I sure was glad when Henry scored though, because I had bet Bama and that got me the cover. I expect auburn to have a chance this year. They'll keep it within 10 pts if they don't win

They beat LSU in a game that got Les Miles fired for having the most boring offensive game plan in the history of college football. They beat Miss St who just barely beat SAMFORD in a Shoot out, they beat UL Monroe who is a bottom 10 college football program. They beat Arkansas after they just sold their souls to try and beat Alabama the week before and they beat Ole Miss who couldn't stop half this board from running 10 Yards up the gut. Color me a hater or an objective viewer but I'm not sold on them to be able to even compete vs Alabama which is essentially what needs to happen for them to sniff being in contention. Don't get too fired up by wins over Vandy and Georgia those are garbage teams. Washington Huskies Wins (look out!!!) Rutgers 2-6 Idaho 4-4 (4 wins against 4 poor teams) Portland state 2-6 (losses to Weber state , cal poly, and northern Colorado which I've never heard of,!) Arizona 2-6 Stanford 5-3 Oregon 3-5 ( terrible this year) Oregon state 2-6 Utah 7-2 Combined record 27-38 So using that same rationale, does that mean that you think Washington is unable to even compete with Alabama. ? Just having a little fun. I actually think Washington has a decent team. And by the way, auburn was not playing good football, at all, when they beat lsu. Offense was terrible. Completely different now. They had opportunities to win AM game and Clemson game, but the offense was just too bad... kudos to Gus and Coach L for the adjustment

I see something like Bama 38 - 17 which is more respect that I am giving LSU. Tappy I will take that bet. Shoot me a invite and friend request and we can swap contact info. I think Alabama is good, nothing against them, but in my opinion Auburn has improved dramatically since Gus handed over the play calling reigns. Auburn didn't play AM bad st all, it was a very close game up until late in the game. Auburn offense went 3 and out over and over and the defense just got gassed. The O was still, at the time, trying to go as fast as possible which made it even worse I will take Auburn +16. So I'll even shave 1.5 pts in your favor. (I'll take LSU +20since you think Baka is gonna win 35-0!!) I figure you are joking about lsu game so I'm joking as well, But I'm serious about Bama and auburn

They are gaining confidence, which gives them energy and it's like they are feeding off of each other. Plus they have one of the best rbs in the country imho. What up double, good to hear from you, I haven't been on here in a while!

Attention folks, Auburn and Ole Miss are COMPLETELY DIFFERENT TEAMS ON THE ROAD VS AT HOME. This is all about home field. Auburn is improved a lot this year from last year. But they are improved in a way that they now protect their home field better because of their improved offense. However, this is a road game. They don't throw the ball that well. Their defense is not good on the road. At home, they play good D guys. Actually very good, but that intensity does not translate for them to the road. I noticed this last year, and it's the same this year. They have no road wins here to tell you they win this game. Miss St is a terrible team. They aren't competitive. That game does not tell you anything. This line should be a pickem at most for Auburn. In my mind, they are between a 2.5 and 3 point dog. Ole Miss is way too good on offense on their home field to be a dog here. Ole Miss does not play good D I agree, but at home they play better on that side of the ball. On average, they get a lot more stops than on the road because the crowd gets into it and they play with more confidence. Auburn is the same way. Auburn -4 is a joke. They can win by 3 and you lose? Does that seem right? No way. Ole Miss is clearly the right side to the game. No, it isn't a lock, but on average there is no way Auburn wins more than 50% of the time in this spot, which makes this line incorrect. Ole Miss shouldn't be a home dog vs anyone but Bama and maybe a couple other teams. But Auburn sure ain't one of them. Then you add in Auburn will come in feeling good last game and relaxed because of recent play. That is good for Ole Miss. Ole Miss did not play well vs LSU last game so they will mentally want to be sharper. That's good for them too. They got a psychological edge in addition to the line being off to begin with. Auburn is being way overrated in this spot due to a win vs an Arkansas team that is dreadful on defense - they are far behind the team they were last year that beat LSU on the road and was very competitive vs Bama on the road. Look at Arkansas's D vs Bama and Texas AM they're just flat out a bad team. "This is all about home field. Auburn is improved a lot this year from last year. But they are improved in a way that they now protect their home field better because of their improved offense. However, this is a road game..." Wait.. what?? You should do some fact checking before posting. Go back and look at how many sec home games that Auburn lost in a row before miss st.(last season). And you talk about how bad Arkansas is, and I agree they aren't great but they did beat ole miss and put up 34 points. I guess they played bad that game too? Ole miss hasn't seen a defense like auburn, which will be the best defense they've faced all year. Auburn as a whole really struggled on offense early in the season, but they are clicking and the team still believes they can still do something special. Keep in mind this auburn team has only lost to Tex am and Clemson, both early in the year before the offense was clicking and before Gus handed over the play calling. , Pettway will pound them. If you haven't watched him run the ball you might want to watch some YouTube videos before betting against Auburn. I can't see ole miss stopping him altogether, being ranked 113th in the nation in rush defense and last in the sec. Auburn is ranked 3rd in the nation in rushing, and 1st in the sec. Pettway is the real deal. He will be fresh because Johnson will be back to give a change of pace, and to Give him a break. Auburn freshman Eli stove has made his mark lately and has stepped up, which is something the O really needed. Ole miss can't run, and can't stop the run... home field advantage is not going to make this disappear. It may delay it for a bit, but it will show. The one spot that auburn may struggle is deep throws, 50/50 type throws. But I don't think ole miss can win on this alone. I feel like these two teams are headed in opposite directions, and I'm backing the team that's peaking at the right time. This auburn team isn't relaxed, they're hungry. I won't be surprised to see Chad K. Make some plays, he is very good at times, but I also won't be surprised to see CK get knocked out of the game. Good luck. I hardly ever post but when I read your quote I couldn't resist. |

What up Dub! I like the play, WM playing with a backup qb too right? I don't follow the Mac very closely, but I am with you on this one for sure.

trying not to overthink this one. Coker has gotten better, and can scramble better than many realize. What I see is this, Bama is good, but LSU is too. And LSU has probably the best running back that college football has seen in years. Bama has also played worse at home then they have on the road. And their kicker is terrible every year, which will be the reason they won't cover the spread. This will be a good game. Both qbs will throw picks. Bamas defense will make one more big play than LSU. Bama 27 LSU 21 Buy points andTake LSU +7 and Bama -5. put more on LSU

I have to agree about State losing to Alabama. I am not taking any credit away from them, they have a good football team, but we have already seen how hard it is for a team to beat Alabama and Auburn, i.e. Ole Miss. I am an Auburn fan, not a Bama fan just FYI. As far as Alabama v Auburn, you can never tell what will happen in that game, but I give the advantage to Alabama with the game being in Tuscaloosa.The SEC West is just tough right now. Auburn's schedule is insane.Regardless of what happens I hope to see the SEC take the national championship trophy home, again.

Good luck on your pick, I can't call it a lock, I think Boston College is very close to being just as good as Louisville, they just aren't as flashy, and the perception of the public is that Louisville is much better. I don't have a play on this game (I may play it later if the line climbs a little), and I wish you luck on your play.
