I've seen it go both ways, but I would expect a pretty strong effort from Alabama Saturday night

Really? I thought for sure they’d be a small favorite

I was definitely going to fade aTm until I looked at who they were playing.

Same here. Ended up giving the 9.

Going to fade them like it's a mission

I'm starting to warm to Kentucky staying within the number against UGA, though I can also make a case for it snowballing out of control for them like it did for Arkansas. Someone is going to make UGA sweat eventually, right?
Speaking of Arkansas, can anyone convince me not to bet them? Seems like there have been some weird games between these two teams over the years, and you know the Hogs have had this one circled after the refs stole it from them last season. Only hesitation is that Ark has to be pretty worn out by the schedule
Ole Miss/UT should be a fun one. No real interest there other than team total overs
I feel like I should bet LSU just out of principle, but not sure I can do it. I think they are done and have a dead man walking at head coach
As for Alabama, I can honestly say I don't know how this team will respond to the loss. I could pretty accurately predict past teams would bounce back in a big way, but this team feels different. It's the first one where the NFL draft seems to have finally taken it's toll. Not necessarily on talent, Alabama still has plenty, but basically they are all inexperienced and immature. And the older guys we have are mostly the guys who aren't likely to be draft picks. I will tread lightly or not at all from a betting perspective. But this will be a good barometer game, because it's a road game against a team that runs different schemes on both sides of the ball than what Alabama normally sees, so preparation and focus will be paramount. If we see a lackluster effort, I don't have visions of grandeur about how the rest of the season will play out. If they go in and take care of business, I'll put them back in the circle of trust moving forward. This is also Alabama's last away game until the finale at AU
Situation says to fade aTm, but the opponent does not. Might look into a Mizzou 1h bet, banking on Aggies starting slow but eventually finding their footing
No interest in SC/Vandy

Agree with pretty much all of that. Wouldn't touch LSU with a 10 foot pole.

Rare time I believe a coach should be axed mid season, only way LSU can salvage anything. If nothing else it should be a boost for them psychologically. Pretty sure everyone sees the writing on the wall.
I want to bet them as a Florida fade but it's simply not easy to do right now.

I was thinking that about several teams in the SEC this week. Really, Arkansas has had a tough run here, with the Georgia Southern layup the only breather between Texas/aTm/UGA/Miss. But what about this Auburn team? PennSt/heart stopper vs GeoState/LSU/UGA. Hard to know which team has more left in the tank at this point.

First two calls are Lane and Jimbo, right? Then maybe Fickell, Franklin, maybe Joe Brady? Does Aranda get a look?

Great questions all around. Fickell looks like a great coach, I don’t know if it fits tho.
Franklin….ehhh.
Joe Brady who knows….seems like NFL but again. It sure.
Lame certainly gets a call I would guess.
On my Sunday AM LSU bitch sessions with friends I had a 45 minute convo and I thought we had it figured, go back to Aranda. Now on Wednesday, not sure about that either.
It’s an odd bunch….
You think O is done already? I thought the championship might have bought him a little more time.

He followed the Gene Chizik plan apparently.

I agree, but I think they'll at least send out some feelers. His job is about to get harder with the Longhorns joining the conference

this is where great coaches will have to bail for social workers that know nothing of sports.

Simply for me, Mullen hasn't turned them into some offensive group which you need to win on the road in the SEC
I think they're who we all think they are, a decent team
Hard to bet on LSU for obvious reasons
In reality since GLB started betting cricket and typing Wicket in the middle of the night, I can't take them seriously
