*** Freak Pics *** (Week 2)

Yes and yes.

I will probably add to the play as well.

This game won't be very close.

The first line I heard on this game in the summer was 13.  I honestly thought this would come out more like 10.  Nevertheless, I think it was released at 13 which is what I got it at, and then moved to 13.5 before falling to 12.

I can't explain the reasoning behind the line, but I'm not a line conspiracy theorist.  I just play what they throw out there.

I like the OVER as well, but that ties in with my concern about laying 32.5.  I wasn't impressed with Auburn's secondary.  I think SJST can and will exploit it to a certain degree.  In other words, I think SJST will definitely score some points in the this game.  Another concern is that Gus smartly chooses not to leverage Marshall as a runner against weaker teams.  Maybe he won't be quite as protective of Johnson when he comes in the game.

Nevertheless, hopefully Auburn will get into the 60s by themselves, and render all of our concerns nugatory.

I don't like the total in the USA/Kent game.  With Kent's abysmal offense and complete lack of playmakers, I would definitely lean to the UNDER though.

I like for the SJST/Auburn game to go OVER the total.

I can't think of one good reason why Malzahn would embarrass SJST and risk injury to Marshall for the sake of padding stats and/or breaking records.  To the contrary this is a classic look ahead spot where Malzahn will do the minimum to win the game, and do everything in his power to keep everyone healthy for K State and the SEC grind.

That's why I would be apprehensive about laying 32.5.  At 31 or better, the OVER may be the better play.  What I like about Auburn is that backup QB Jeremy Johnson is almost as capable of putting points on the board as Marshall.

I think we'll see a final score of something like 55-21.

Skipster, he was responding to my reply about next weekend's game between OU and Tennessee. Btw, I see a look ahead for Tenn this week and will be taking Arkansas St. +17.
