Megalocks is on Boise.

As for me, Ole Miss is my favorite play of week one.  The game looks like a mismatch to me, particularly in the trenches.

I actually just saw that Mega was on Boise and the points... My bad. I agree Jimmy, this game is a definite mis match in overall talent. I just perceive Ole Miss to Under achieve and Boise to Over achieve. It's probably just me holding onto the Boise of old... If Boise does get steam rolled, it will definitely put a end to the Boise being the little guy who carries a big stick...

It's not a bad idea going against everybody else GOGO. Usually that means you get a couple points better than the opening line and those come from the books very well done power ratings. But I look at this being Mississippi's year to join the elite in the SEC.  Mississippi last two recruiting classes ranked #17 and #5. Boise last two recruiting classes ranked 72 and 53. I agree with Jimmy but I respect your opinion.

Hey, I agree brother. Ole Miss is going to be a force this year In the SEC... I just have this gut feeling that they can't deal with all this hype they're getting preseason.. As the season goes on I believe they will grow, mature and hit their stride and click on all cylinders. As for Boise, they are playing with house money... If they lose.... They were supposed to, have a ton of built in excuses. If they win... It's an upset and Boise is back!!! (then it's prob fade Boise time)

I think the question here is, who is playing with pressure? I'm not sure Ole Miss knows how to play as a favorite like this.... This is kind of unknown territory for them, coupled with the first game of the year? I got it 31-27 Ole Miss..

I'm on Boise as well.  Slight homer pick I'll admit it but I also like it because EVERYONE loves Ole Miss and with the new coaching staff it could be a tough one for Ole Miss to prepare for.  Returning a better QB than chomo-stache Southwick, a solid RB in Ajayi, and quite a few starters on defense.  Do I think this game could potentially be a slaughter?  Yep I sure do.  Do I think it will be?  Nope sure don't.

BOL man

The big hype came for Ole Miss last year and I knew it was too soon... it's always the next year.

I don't necessarily think this will be a blowout, but I don't see Boise staying with 10 points of Ole Miss.

The good news for Boise is that this game will be played in the climate controlled Georgia Dome.  If this were being played in Mississippi, fugetaboutit.  It has been absolutely brutal down here lately.  Over 100 degrees for a huge softball tournament this past weekend with 1000% humidity..  I am very acclimated to the heat, and even I was melting out there.  It didn't help our pitcher couldn't throw strikes.

Boise should be in trouble after the 1st qtr. The mismatch will be in the trenches and it will be bad, IMO.

Ole Miss has a huge OL that will literally mash and mash and mash Boise's undersized line. Boise has a good LB and secondary but when you have DL in your lap the whole game, kinda makes it hard to go make tackles.

The OL/DL mismatch reminds me of Alabama/ND few years back.

Ole Miss has Wallace and in CFB experience at QB is BIG, especially in openers. Boise in a new system with new coaching, traveling to the South, less neutral for Ole Miss. The number isn't a bad spot, especially if Boise gets a late garbage score, but i still have the rebels covering ~ 2/3, which is good value, but I cant deny when everyone likes one team, the cover seems less than .500
