Early Thoughts Auburn/UGA
- Thread starter Fluk
- Start date
I disagree that road win streaks, and qbs records in opponents stadium does not matter. This is just like saying home field advantage does not matter. When your at home your crowds in it, noise, cheers, pride,and many other things that lead to CONFIDENCE. Well this is the same thing you get when you have a team that has traveled into opponents stadiums and defeated them over and over. There is not a sense of awe and confusion, we've been here and done this many times before. We have a QB that doesnt get shaken by 90,000. I do agree that injuries and benchings could play a bigger visable difference, but you cant discount the importance of confidence and experince when one goes on the road for a huge game. Ought to be a good game either way
While were here lets go ahead and predict a final.
Think the #'s about right, just wrong team favored.
24-20 Dawgs :clap:

Over the last 12 seasons AU has won the game every year that the Dolphins have won their last home game before the AU/UGA game, and has lost every year that the Dolphins have lost their last home game before the AU/UGA game

Watch this clip. I am a UA alumni (not AU), but this is why this team is special, and will run the table. UGA is a choking bunch. The game will be over by halftime just like every huge SEC game this year has been. The real barnburner that we have all been waiting for will happen in T-town next week. Good luck Aubs, I hope you stroll into t-town 10-0. We owe you a spoiler from '89. Roll Vegas.

I strongly believe that nobody in the country could beat Auburn at home this weekend. Georgia is a good team, but they have been less than outstanding in most of their road victories this year. In the meantime Auburn continues to get better and better, they are solid all around. While Greene and receivers are good, I feel that they will struggle because the Georgia offense will be one dimensional after falling behind and not being able to run the ball effectively. I also like the fact that Auburn is coming off a bye, and Georgia has been traveling alot. I don't care how young these guys are, it wears on you to be out of town every weekend. Auburn will not come out flat and I feel they will control the game. Like Wareagle said, Auburn has not faced a team as good as Georgia, but Georgia has also yet to face the ultimate challenge of playing Auburn on the road either. While the trends may point to Georgia, the past is the past and I feel Auburn wins this game convincingly. After a strong week, I am in a postion to put a nickel on Auburn, and that is exactly what I am going to do. Good luck on what ever you bet and go TIGERS! :clap:
dizzy good concise thoughts ...

Another amazing stat: In 107 previous football games between Auburn and Georgia from 1892 through last year, only 17 points separate the total number of points compiled by the two schools. Auburn has scored 1,612 while Georgia has compiled 1,595.
Look for that margin to grow this weekend.
The Auburn-LSU game was a burner, but it was 90 degrees outside when they played it. You can't argue that we're all still waiting on that Autumn classic that kicks off at 2:30, but finishes under the lights.

This is the game I have been waiting for. Good luck fellas. And Go Tigers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :clap:
been looking forward to this game for the whole week...after thinking about it for a long time, i have decided the best thing is the UGA Money Line
Not sure what you fellas are thinking betting Georgia? A team that beat Arkansas and South Carolina on the road by 6 and 4 points, a team that lost to the Volunteers on its home field, a team that goes on the road for the fourth consecutive weekend, a team that is banged up at running back, a team that consistently lays an egg in the big game. AUBURN on the other hand is a team that is on a National Championship mission, a team that is fully rested coming off the bye, a team that has the best running back combo in recent history led by Brown is is one of the few college RBs who could suit up and play THIS SUNDAY, not next year on sunday, but this Sunday, a team that has the best QB in the SEC, a team that has the best defense in the SEC, a team that is home, a team that has the perfect game plan to stop Georgia from the big play passes and make them drive 12-14 plays to score which will led to Georgia self-destructing. And Auburn is only favored by 4????????????????
Good luck, but I am on the Tigers for my biggest play of the season, a nickel, if I win I am up eleven, if I lose I am back to where I started the season. Good luck and play the TIGERS!

Not quite sure how you can be so confident about Auburn. This is a team that hasn't played but two tough games all season. A team that is lucky to be undefeated after getting huge breaks against LSU. This is a team that beat UT convincingly, but with the help of 6 Vol turnovers. Tuberville is not the coach that Richt is, and unfortunately, the last 7 games where AU has had a prior off week, they are 3-4. I expect AU to come out flat, and I expect Campell to be inefficient. Not since LSU, has AU faced any sort of a defense. Campell has had all day to make throws. I respect Au and the rivalry but to me, taking the points in a game like this seems to be the best value.
Dizzy,
I agree totally. Being an AU Alumni and now living approx. 120 miles away, I haven't seen this much excitement around here in awhile. Of coarse it's always exciting during football season. This team will be focused and will not let up. IMO you can throw all those previous trends out the window, pertaining to AU's ATS record on last home games and road team normally wins this series, etc, NOT this Saturday. Bottom line, I see AU getting ahead early and not letting up. IF this happens I don't see UGA being able to over come the 12th Man (Crowd). This stadium will be going NUTZZ leading to some mis-ques. By no means is this game a blow out and yes UGA could pull off the upset, after all this is the SEC, but I really don't see it happening. I see AU winning by 2 TDs and I myself and making this one of the bigger plays this season. As for the UGA takers I believe the ML is the way to go. This game should go one or two ways. (1) AU wins convincingly or (2) UGA pulls out an upset by getting ahead early and taking the crowd out of it. There just more value on the ML. As for me I just can't see ant value in UGA at all. Go Tigers!!

I have had long deliberation about playing this game and decided to play small wager on UGA. Was hoping the line would go up during the week but it went down so I am not playing this big.
Tommy Tuberville is a decent coach, but since 2000 when Auburn was good he very seldom ever won a meaningful game @ Jordan-Hare Stadium. He is something like 11-11 as a Home favorite and that includes the Citadel, Western carolina, UL-monroe and all those paties etc.
Any meaningful big game @ home, Alabama especially, he has tanked. Start back in 2000, with Arkansas -9.5, SU loss,
2001, Alabama -3, SU loss 31-7,
2002, Arkansas -5, SU loss,
UGa +2, SU loss,
2003, USC -3.5, SU loss
Ole Miss -8(against his previous team), SU loss.
In fact throw out a 10-9 home win over LSU this year, what big game has he ever won at home, and don't give me ly's 28-23 win as -7.5 over a subpar Alabama team.
Georgia on the other hand under mark Richt has won huge games on the road, and qb David Greene is something like 14-1 on the road vs SEC in 4 years.
This game on Saturday heavily favors Georgia's passing attack against a Tiger secondary playing poorly right now.
This situation is very similar to LSU 3/4 years ago and the Death valley mystique where the Bayou Tigers would lose games at home they never should have. What is it?? Too much hoopla during the week, too much pressure versus unrealistic expectations? Also as far as last years bowl game against a Wisconsin team that is a shell of this years team, HC Tuberville admitted it was the most poorly officiated game he has ever been a part of, game tied 14-14 and refs handed Auburn game on two indisputable bad calls(backed up by replays) in fourth quarter.
That all said, I prob. would have pounded this game if I could have got UGA +7 (w/buying pts) but line went against me. Might put small bet on the ML as well but I am losing value each and every day.

Scott nearly every game in the SEC is BIG!! Thats because the majority of the teams are real good! Not like the PAC 10 were majority are pitiful!! vandy could beat most pac 10 schools and no doubt be in the top 5 in the pac 10 every year! Pac 10 sucks Anyone that knows anything about football knows the pac 10 is not very good and never will be!! Oh you will have a good team here and there but overall as a conference it will always be weak!! SEC 5-1 Bowl games last year will be better this year probably (that means undefeated is only way to be better!! ) Let the pac 10 play every SEC team that gets in a bowl and I know it will be undefeated bowl year!! LOL OOPS forgot that many Pac 10 teams want make major bowls!!
Shocking, Homer4USC enters a good thread and it immediately someone turns it into a PAC10 vs SEC flame fest. :argue:
Where did I mention the Pac 10 in my post? CWood97 can you read and comprehend the thread? Tell me exactly what was wrong with my post or where you disagree with it? Where did I mention the Pac 10? Was my data wrong in my post? Did I use wrong logic? From the looks of it, my last post was about UGA/AU and your last post was about me. You are too funny.
Looks like the facts and my take against AU ticked off dlvlsu. Then he goes into a rant about the Pac 10 and CWood97 wrongfully accuses me. Too funny.
