Am I missing something?
- Thread starter Riems
- Start date
FSU opened -2 1/2, most of the experts said that Miami would be favored, Sag has them favored by 8 1/2 at home by computer numbers, over 60% on FSU but line is now -1 FSU.
To beat an elite team, one that hasn't lost in how many straight games? You have to have a QB that can execute the game plan and your "D" has to take advantage of every opportunity and not hand it back, such as L'ville did vs FSU when they turned the ball back over to FSU once on a turnover and then right back after two plays on "O" after L'ville got a turnover. You have to make the turnovers hurt FSU. Can Miami do this and interupt Jameis? His foot is still a bit sore, so his mobility is about 90% and he's tall so he can see over most of Miami's front 7, but the DBs are going to have to read and shut down Greene, which they can. The other variable is, how will Kat handle FSU and the pressure of playing FSU at home? Duke Johnson will get his yards, but the rest will all be in the hands of a freshman and improving "D".
Vegas put that line perfectly to get the 50/50 split like they love to do!! It's not a hard one to handicap, it's a hard one to figure out on how will Miami handle the pressure at home? That's the key in this matchup that's a 'pick em' basically. Better kicker for FSU in Aguayo-beans. Two good head coaches, better brute back for Miami, better WRs to no one, both even, experience to Greene for FSU.
Will be a classic to watch!

I have a feeling that FSU lays an ass whipping on Miami. I know teams never look at the spread :0002 but this may be a motivator to FSU. Not sold on either team but FSU finds ways to win and laying 1' which may go lower or to even a dog seems like a gift. Value seems to be with FSU IMO. I am sure many will be riding the Hurricane wagon. I don't get it though. Miami has lost to Louisville, Nebraska and GT not powerhouses by any means. Miami is not even ranked and could be favored by kickoff. This line makes no sense to me whatsoever. Talk about no respect for team that has reeled off 20+ straight wins in a row. Line is a head scratcher to me for sure. I don't buy the trap theory either, never believed in it.
I still think Alabama is highly over rated. I really like MSU in this spot. That is a lot of points to give a defensive minded team. It will be MSU against the world on Saturday. it will start with the 2 worst announcers in football, Danielson and Lundquist who will be tea bagging Alabama from the start.
We shall see how it plays out.
If Alabama gets beaten then I cannot see how the SEC can get 2 teams in. Still not sure how Auburn stayed in the top 10 after getting beaten by a weak A&M team starting a freshman at QB. Some of the things that make you go MMMMM.
Still a long way to go and a lot can happen in college foots as it always does.

Msu has not been tested this year. they caught LSU early in the year and everyone knows LSU ismuch better since. Auburn turned the ball over 3 times in first quarter and fell behind MSU 21-0 and neve could catch up. MSU will also be an under dog to ole miss in the magnolia bowl even with the major injuries to ole miss.
BET MIAMI Bookies know something we don't know.
MSU hasn't been tested all year? It was 2 turnovers in the 1st Qtr. and it was 14-0. Your excuses for the teams MSU beat are not only terrible, but hilarious. :142smilie
8. at LSU
6. A&M
2. Aub
Make any excuse you want. MSU whipped them. Who tested Bama other than Ole Miss?

Just because your in love with Miss st. doesn't mean they are great...Auburn is not as good as people think...A&M is average at the very best and LSU is a notch above Average...Sorry but just cus they play in SEC they are not better than some of you want to think they are.

I am a Alabama fan..I saw Miss St vs Tex AM also Miss St vs Auburn in person and i promise you this Miss St will be ready to play and IMO have a great chance to win this game...Dont under estimate this team..They are REALLY good..
I never said that. But the arguments don't make sense. These were all games in which MSU had to play a Top 10 team and they were back to back to back. That's tough period.

Corley a lot of teams have whipped those 3 teams A&m has been crushed 3 or 4 times
I'm not making excuses just because MSU beat A&m when they were ranked 6th does not mean they are the 6th best team in the country which Alabama and ole miss and MSU proved, And LSU is light years better than when MSU and Auburn played them. I'm just trying to explain why the line is so high in Bama's favor. Nothing more nothing less. WHY don't you tell us why the line is so high. This is the first time in my memory that the undefeated number 1 ranked team in the country after week 11 was a 7 1/2 point underdog to a team with a loss.
MSU is as healthy as anyone in the country and Alabama has several starters out for the year and a hurt Yeldon. My question is why is Bama a 7 1/2 point favorite.
Simply because they are playing Bama at Bama. ESPN has shown for weeks the graphic that shows their % of MSU winning. Public will pound Bama. All I've heard all week, can MSU's 3 stars hang with Bama's 5 stars. Nobody is giving MSU a chance in this one and haven't for weeks.
I`m wrong a lot......But that`s my take on those 2 games.
Alabama is -8.5 currently at Pinnacle......That`s a huge number....I really think they blow them out.
Florida St. has gone from 2.5 to -1.....I really think Miami gets the W.
I also love Arkansas on the ML.....They are -2....But i`m going to hit them hard on the ML......LSU is drained after that brutal loss against Alabama.
I also like Minnesota +12....Ohio St. coming off that huge win....Letdown spot.
I also like Missouri +5.5....A&M coming off that big win against Auburn.....Letdown spot.
Good luck this week!
Corley, let the SEC haters hate, it's all good. If Bama wins by 1 point, I'd be shocked. :toast:
Reims--I think you are on to something--makes sense to me-Fla st is due to explode--Ala has not impressed me all year--gl
