So, Danny Sheridan says....

[Hogs7672]

Auburn by 23, early line.

Do we take it?

[bphi11ips]

Hogs will cover that.

[Hawgzinbowlz]

The line started at 24. It will continue to drop and on game day be below 23.

" GO HOGS "

[hawgwild child]

It could get down to 17 and I'd still take it, I think were gonna be improved enough to give them a game, may not win but I believe we take em to the 4 quarter

[hogs24]

Put a hundred on it.

[TDHawgs]

After watching last years highlights again, we really shot ourselves in the foot. We had a TD pass called back that could have went our way.. Debry threw one interception and Allen turned the ball over fumbling the snap from Swanson; all in the 1st quarter. Talk about killing any momentum. If we minimize our mistakes this year, we can hang, not saying we will win, but will give them all they want.

[Vantage 8 dude]

Auburn by 23, early line.

Do we take it?

Like a duck all over a june bug!!

[Hawgey-Davidson]

Danny Sheridan's bankroll is bigger than mine. Guess I go with him. For time being anyway.

[LRRandy]

Sounds about right.

[SPAL]

Yes. Hammer it in the 20's, tread carefully from 20-13, play Auburn after 13.

This is a conference game, the first game of the season, and semi rivals. Highly unlikely we lose by 3 scores.

[jgphillips3]

Yeah, I'd take us to cover that all day long.

[onebadrubi]

Where in the heck can I bet this?

[870hogfan]

Sounds about right.

Sounds wrong Arkansas will cover easy...

[alohawg]

Hogs may win straight up- if your a betting man, take that bet.

[Hogfaniam]

Vegas have a line yet?

[hogninja]

I say we beat the snot out of them and win by 3.  :razorback:

[Wild Bill Hog]

If we can't cover that, this is going to be a very long season IMO.

[Vantage 8 dude]

Danny Sheridan's bankroll is bigger than mine. Guess I go with him. For time being anyway.

Hate to tell you this but the size of his (or anyone else's) bankroll doesn't have anything to do with whether or not you take the spread. It has to do with whether or not you think WHATEVER you bet will be won when it comes to the points.

[MountieDawg]

His number is only a number that believes will keep the betting even on both sides of the number. Vegas gets paid on the juice.

[Inhogswetrust]

Go with the guy that said he had proof of old barns money bagger then when called on the carpet he couldn't produce it........................No Thanks. His integrity is now too questionable.

[alwaysnextyear]

People are underestimating the loss of Mason. Was a brute in between the tackles. I'm hopeful with the loss of Ash we will now be able to slow down the same inside run play that aTm and Auburn ran over and over and over.

[Piglet Dispersion Syndrome]

I'm a believer in teams playing Aubbie much better when they have a while to prepare, and Aubbie is most vulnerable early in the season, so yeah we cover anything over 14 IMO.

[MJ2]

AU won't be out to embarrass us, but they will make sure the game is out of hand early with a comfortable lead and close it out 48 to 24.

[three hog night]

It could get down to 17 and I'd still take it, I think were gonna be improved enough to give them a game, may not win but I believe we take em to the 4 quarter

I agree we will take it to the 4th qtr.

[oldman1015]

i never bet on or against the hogs. emotion clouds my judgement.

[trashcan maN]

i never bet on or against the hogs. emotion clouds my judgement.

Yep. Getting stung for 500 in the Vanderbilt game a few years ago solidified this for me. We were 7 pt favorites in 2011, and I thought there was no chance in hell Vandy played us within a score. I was just happy to get the W. We should have lost.

[ChicoHog]

All about limiting their big plays.  Make them earn it a few yards at a time.  And don't turn it over!

[lahawg1]

As long as their linebackers have no injuries in the end zone we should play them well this year. Those "all the sudden and it just hits ya" injuries can be a game killer.

[Dark Helmet Hog]

Mortgage the house. Bet big.

[PygmalionEffect]

Sounds about right.

If you really believe that then I'll bet you an imaginary Hogville $100 on that and I'll take 22 points, 1 point below the current line.

No money will change hands, this will be a credibility bet.  It's a lot on the line, because if I win, I'll be reminding you of it on here every time you pop off a negative post about the Hogs (so about 300 times) or until we agree on an opportunity for you to try to break even.

And I would assume vice versa if I lose.

[little pigee]

But isn't their QB suspended? 

[jabohog]

Yes. Hammer it in the 20's, tread carefully from 20-13, play Auburn after 13.

What if we lose by three field goals?

[Corkscrew Johnson]

Good grief.  We covered that last year, when Auburn was better and we were worse.  Not to mention: last year we didn't have a QB, they did.  And now the roles might be reversed...

ok. $100 hogville dollars it is. And a mea culpa  post regarding my prognostication. Although, if in fact it's going to turn into lollipops and rainbows Aug. 1, I may not be here to collect.

[HognotinMemphis]

Good ole Razorback football...can always give 'em a good game even if we do not usually win.

[HognotinMemphis]

I say we beat the snot out of them and win by 3.  :razorback:

Beat the snot out of them and win by only 3? That sounds incongruent.

[Pickwick Hog]

But isn't their QB suspended?

Nope. Mama paid his fine last week, he was not taken to Media Days, he has to attend substance abuse counseling and submit to random drug testing.

You can bet your last dollar he's playing.

[SPAL]

What if we lose by three field goals?

Clearly I'm not counting on that but I would lose if I took auburn -13

[Vantage 8 dude]

But isn't their QB suspended?

Uhh.........haven't you heard their HC is Gus. Enough said.

i wouldn't have dug this up but for the fact pygeff challenged my credibility and now he owes me $100 hogville dollars. Can I spend them at the Alma sonic?

Oh wow...this is kinda embarrassing huh?

[LRRandy]

yeah, funny huh. I would not have pulled an I told you so but as you see he made it a bet and made it about credibility.

[WizardofhOgZ]

You have committed an unforgivable Hogville sin . . . you have held someone accountable.  Believe me, I know . . . lol . . .

its all in good fun. Don't start none , won't be none. He started it.

Lots of angry wives and girlfriends after some of the ding dong bets that may or may not have been placed by some in this thread. Why would you put any money on Arkansas with this defense and an offense not built to come from behind?

[Theolesnort]

He also sez Auburn will be exceptional this season, clearly better than Bama.

[onebadrubi]

I'd do it again too.

I almost did Friday night because I had been drinking and was around some folks convinced we would win. Attitudes of those around you can be contagious. Glad I didn't touch it.

This thread is solid proof of some of the hard headed syndrome going around on Hogville over the past few weeks. I mean general consensus was if you thought the Hogs wouldn't cover that spread you were a bumbling idiot.

[OneTuskOverTheLine™]

I think we'll win every game... I just don't put money on it, but this one looked like a sure bet to me.. I can't believe no one has talked about a "fix" after the 2nd half Saturday.. I don't think that's what happened but knowing how some of the folks who post here behave I'm surprised it hasn't been brought up...
