Beware: Something is going on at Mississippi State

LOL of course they don't! When the sharps bet big on one side, vegas moves the line. I thought that was universal knowledge.

I guess I don’t know what to tell you!

I guess I don’t know what to tell you!

And vice versa. "Vegas" is the sportsbook. The "books" set the pointspread then move it according to the action. The heavy hitters are called Sharps. The average players are called squares. The sharps play underdogs a lot, squares play mostly favorites. Have another cup of Joe on me! Gooday!

Thanks for the glossary, Professor!

Have a good day yourself.

Surely Heupel has learned in 4+ years of coaching here that we can't take any team lightly. I know it sounds odd, but I'd like for the team to keep the score in the 20s. If Tenn can win time of possession by a fair margin, the boys should cruise.

Random Q for the board.

Are cake walks still a thing? I remember those being always present at our annual middle school fundraising carnival.

You can’t be that old. We called it junior high school.

Betting line has dropped 3 points to 7.5. Sharps all over Msu.......

Yep and that scares me, especially with our history of losing 1 we shouldn't. Just like shapys bet us vs Ga and it dropped from 10 to 4..Sharps made a killing that day. I will say, the first 2 hours the MSU line went from -10 to -11, then has since dropped to 7.5. Definitely concerning, those guys know what they are doing

Middle school is what we called it...

Folks here never let go of their BVS and still think it's 2019

The BVS got inflamed and returned in the UGA game.

Im from Columbus and have lots of State friends and family members and they are all cautiously optimistic. This is the measuring stick of how good they can really be and they are all just hoping for a moral victory. Everyone knows ASU wasnt as good as they were projected and this is gonna be the first real test in their eyes. A lot of them are hoping we get to Shapen so they have to put in Kamario Taylor. Everyone chomping at the bits to get the local kid on the field. With our past woes from 2nd stringers i hope we dont have to see him until the game is far out of reach. I dont think they can line up with us, be prepared for Lebby to go backyard and try some crazy thigs on offense from this historically defensive team.

Arkansas has literally nothing to do with this game and Nico isn’t our QB

Heupel has a tendency to lose a road game every year that we have no business losing. That’s all I’m pointing out.

Prediction - We'll beat them handily, this talk will be forgotten, we'll still be ranked #15.

You forgot the part where alabama loses to Georgia and jumps us

TOP is the one stat that Heupel cares nothing about. I can almost guarantee that state will have the ball longer. We are not going to pull back on the O just to win a meaningless stat. Think back a couple of years ago when we played Kentucky. Our TOP was only about 18 minutes and they had the ball about 42 minutes. We blew their doors off.
