Another great season of discussions with the crew around here. Good luck tonight and see you guys in August....
Auburn +310 1.5 units
I've maintained from the start that I would play this game one of two ways, Auburn SU or lay whatever with FSU. I still think this game is a blowout win by FSU or an Auburn victory. With the way this last week has gone for me, I'll play this the fun way. I really do think FSU has question marks. They are:
1. They are relatively untested. Clemson is the closest thing they have played to an Auburn this year, so they have that going for them.
2. Coaching advantage. I'm sorry but Jimbo Fisher is just not a good coach. I'll take Gus all day over him.
3. Undisciplined. FSU is 71st in the NCAA in Penalty Yards per game. In a tight game, this could make all the difference.
4. Punting - Auburn is 10th in the country in net punting. FSU is 116th. Again, if this isn't a blowout one more little brick in the wall that gets Auburn a SU win.
The FSU guys will come in and say I'm leaving out things like turnover margin, and rush defense where FSU statistically dominates Auburn. Yep, I am. I'm just pointing out some areas where a team that is a 10+ point dog has the advantage. I love dogs who can run the ball, and who have good defenses. Auburn is the best rushing team in the country. They've got decent red zone numbers even though their defense isn't that good. They are battle tested, and believe they can win. That's good enough for me. War Damn Eagle. Hahahahah
