I'm staying away but we should win. Kiffin is job hunting. OM coming off a real game, we basically had a bye. And OM really just isn't very good. Gotta slow down their run game though.

That's basically a pick em then since you get 3 points for being at home. Vegas gives us more credit than our own fanbase at times.
OM finally been playing some real teams lately. They are good but not great. Biggest concern to me is on the road. Most SEC teams suck on the road, so do we.
Stop the run and don't give up a deep ball on D
Gotta balance on O, OM gonna jump our dump offs and short hitches and why wouldn't they. If we do same ole, we get beat.
Sec road games...
LSU - we were -3, and lost by 15
Kentucky - we were -3.5, and lost by 10
Alabama - we were +21, and lost by 23
Will we beat the spread this week? We're 2-5 ATS in SEC games
Not sure either team will be super motivated for this game with both teams coaching situations in limbo and not a lot to play for except pride, which I think will be the deciding factor this year, who wants it more?
That’s who will win this year’s egg.
The way they run the ball, take UM and the -3.5.........We won't be able to stop them...........
Agree Schultzy. I'm not sure either team has the necessary team leaders that have grown up with the Egg Bowl rivalry blood running through their veins and being the all-important game of the season within their family. It just seems the magnitude of the rivalry on the team compared to the days of Billy Brewer and Jackie Sherrill are greatly marginalized to me.
I can't see this being close. We haven't done crap on the road and they have an offense that will be tough for our guys to stop. Would be glad to be wrong.
The way their two backs hit the off tackle hole so quickly and get in or beyond the LB's has me worried. However, we have shut down some good running backs this year. We have to put up 30 or more points. They got behind early and couldn't catch up. The penalties and turnovers made them the first team to ever have over 700 yards on O and score less than 30 points. Our D is better than arky, but LB speed vs their RB and Dart taking off has me worried.
Hyped up rivalry on national TV with the whole country watching. Seems like Groundhog Day MSU style. Hope I'm wrong but......
the run game to the edges is our Achilles heel. they will win. and it pains me
Don't let UM's loss to Ark fool you. They played hard, just had some breaks go the other way. Their running game is legit and downfield passing game is decent.
Two take aways as I?ve talked to many people yesterday
1. Our fanbase is the most pessimistic of any FBS school in america with no competition. We have fans defending a team who was losing 42-6 then Arkansas called off the dogs.
If we did that last night , this board would be in total meltdown wanted to publically execute the entire team in a firing squad.
2. Kiffin is gone.
3. Our defense is lightyears better than Arkansas?s defense. Whether we win or lose will be decided on the offense and mainly Will Rogers.
