outcome depends on one thing, Iowa's D-line. If they have one, we may be in trouble!

Just get to the perimeter and you'll be fine. Once you have us running sideways you can read option with Dobbs until the game is well in hand.

Minnesota killed us with the jet sweep and read option.

sounds good in theory, but when our interior linemen are pushed into the backfield every snap it gets a little trickier.

Yeah, I still don't know your team very well, but I just can't see this game being high scoring unless one of us just turns the ball over a bunch.

We both play very cleanly (#2 and #4 in the nation in penalties), but I have noticed that when the speed of the game picks up, the Hawks have a tendency to get flagged more often. Will be interesting to see if that plays out in JAX.

There is a lot of good and bad information on this thread about betting. I was stationed in Vegas for three years and have bet in the casinos a thousand times. Let me try to help.

Those saying the line is applied to the home team are absolutely wrong. When you look at a board, it will show the favored team minus the number of points they are favored.

For the novice to betting, here is the simplest way to explain: If Tennessee is -3.5 for the game. That means after the game is over, subtract 3.5 points from Tennessee's score and you have the final wager score. Thus if you bet on Tennessee and they win by more than 3.5 points you win. If they win by less than 3.5 or lose the game you lose.

As a 65 year old who used to bet every week, I learned every thing I needed to know. The line makes it a supposedly even game. You might as well bet on tossing coins, and give 10% to the coin tosser. You aren't going to win in the long run. I haven't placed a bet in 25 years.

I will admit to one thing though. You live and die with every play when you bet on a game. It gets your attention.

Yeah, everybody is kinda correct. You could say you bet on Iowa +3.5, but in regards to the line, they will always quote it as the favored team -points. So on the board, you're going to see UT -3.5, but saying Iowa +3.5 is still technically correct. Has nothing to do with home/away, though.
