When was the last time we won as a 20 pt + underdog?

[The Hogfather]

@ #2 Auburn in '06?

I see some guy above me said 15.  So, I don't know.

The year we went to Knoxville and beat UT, they were #4 in the country and we had lost to The Citadel.  Surely we were 20+ underdogs then.  Between then and now?  I don't know, I can't think of any games that would have happened.

Arkansas was an 18 point underdog to Oklahoma in the 78 Orange Bowl.

I thought it was more than? Great win nonetheless.  The level of us being that big of an underdog entering that game didn't make sense to me.  That Hog team was really good.

If Auburn covers easily, the pitchforks will be drawn and all of the patience talk will cease. Hogs are not that far below these guys.

We will see soon.  It all depends on our ability to pass the ball.  I am skeptical.

The 2000 Cotton Bowl against Texas.  Arkansas wasn't expected to even show up, and we whipped their a$$es goooooooooooooood.

I didn't realize that was Arkansas' 1st bowl victory since 1985..!  Dang ol' HDN did just enough good to hang around too long...

Way too few people understand this concept.

This is true.  The only thing you can take from this is what the betting public thinks of our team.  That line doesn't indicate that Vegas thinks AU is better than Arkansas by X number of points.  It does however indicate what they think people will bet and how people are betting.  So, what this tells me is that the perception of Arkansas football is that we are way way down.  That's ok because the average better doesn't know much about our team past the 0-8 and 3-9.  Many don't know that Allen was hurt or who Korliss Marshall is.  We may get pantsed on Saturday, but I think the inside indicators show that we will be an improved team (by how much, who knows?).  So, moral of the story:  Gamble at your own risk!  I hope some of you make some serious bank!

We'll be able to pass "enough".  Fortunately, we don't have to rely on that.

Close, but no that one was 15 and a half.

Several Big Farmers in the Delta eased on into retirement and going on cruises with Momma after that game. Vegas lost big money on that one.

Hopefully not against HoginMemphis 

lol, these guys pay up.  Although my first big score with them came this year and was a little worried they would but they did.

The last bet I placed on the Hogs was Arkansas +35.5 against USC in 05.  We lost by 53.  I lost my ASS and vowed to never let my love of the Razorbacks influence my sports betting habit.  I enjoy betting on football, just not the Hogs.

hind sight being 20-20 you got hosed on that bet....the USC team was loaded with illegal players and under the counter money...after all, you still may have won had Nutt allow McFadden and Jones, as true freshmen to start the game...Felix had a lot of success against USC and no doubt McFadden would have also...those two playing the whole game may have been just enough to cover that line....plus we had no quarterback, no names, but the guy we had calling signals during the first part of that season was, without a doubt, the worst QB the UA has put on the field to start a game

USC definitely had those things going on, but how in the world did he get hosed on the bet?!?  Did USC sign those players the night before the game? He knew who was going to be suiting up for both teams when he made the bet.

     ARKANSAS WILL BEAT ALL ODDS AND WIN OVER AUBURN ON AUGUST 30,
2014!

[jimmur74]

If u are betting the spread and you take the hogs, essentially the game start 20-0 arkansas. Thats correct

No. That would be a 40 point differential. It's essentially 20-0 Auburn
