Both the Ole Miss & State games are being bet straight up, and not versus any spread?

[aaron]

I'm guessing no spread was given, but with LSU and TN involved, I'm sure someone will post a spread, especially if we could get one for USM/McNeese St.

[noway]

with lsu and tenn playing on monday night.. they have had time to get a line yet. Or there is some major player or person missing from the game

Tenn is a 21 point favorite and LSU is a 14 point favorite... So are we able to bet straight up or does the line get factored in? :smt102

I have over 12 thousand in the bank... I would love to put it on TENN straight up....:smt118

[aaron]

ok, I updated the spreads.

[lamarrebel]

OK, Ole Miss football is laying a rotten egg this year, and no I don't think they will beat Tennessee. I am already scurrying to learn how to spell "orangatang" because that may become my name for Coach O.

Nonetheless, I have a feeling this game will be closer than the 21 point spread. I believe Tennessee may come out flat after their unbelievable comeback against LSU, and having played on Monday, they will have two fewer days to prepare for the game. Further, Ole Miss has had a way of playing nationally ranked opponents tough, including the Vols last year in Oxford. I say Vols by 10.

[Lylabean]

ok, I updated the spreads.

Thanks Aaron...when I checked danny sheridian's website he had NL on both games and I wanted to go ahead and post them before I forgot...and give people more time to bet.

[aaron]

yeah, I went ahead and updated it asap because I didn't want people betting thinking there was no spread.

[lamarrebel]

if we were left bettering straight up, as much I hate to say it, I would have bet half my bank account on LSU and the other half on Tennessee.

[aaron]

yeah, a lot of people would have, creating more inflation than the hub dollar system could handle.

[aaron]

You might have just put it in the wrong box Hawk, all of my bets are coming out right.

[noway]

OMG DID HAWKEYE BET 20 THOUSAND ON USM ???????

Hawkeye you can have all the colors you want for the rest of your life

:smt119

[noway]

The Alabama Game shocked me are they for real????

Looks like USM made alot of myhburgers rich...

[lamarrebel]

I couldn't believe that performance by the Tide... it looks like Florida quit playing at halftime of the Kentucky game. Tyrone Prothro broke his leg, however, and appears to be out for the season:smt102 I

I think I read this is the first time that Florida had been held without a touchdown since 1992 (I think this was night State's defense embarassed Steve Spurrier and intercepted Shane Matthews six times). Speaking of Spurrier, when does anyone remember a team of his getting spanked the way his Gamecock team did tonight (48-7)?? I was becoming livid with Auburn coach Tommy Tuberliar however. Leading 48-7 with minutes to go in the 4th quarter, instead of running the ball and running out the clock, Tuberliar was throwing into he end zone to try to run it up more. Even against a Spurrier team, it was classless.

Ole Miss's defense, I thought, played very well against Tennessee. Tennessee's defense scored on touchdown on an interception return and set up another score late in the 4th quarter after a Spurlock fumble. Really, UT's offense scored 13 points....Ole Miss's offense just flat out sucks. And, yes, I now remember how to spell "Orangutan"

[aaron]

I think someone screwed up the spread on ND vs Purdue. No way No. 22 Purdue was a 2.5 point favorite against 12th ranked ND.

The fact that the game was played at Purdue is the only reason I can think of.
